Step 3 Frame a Picture
The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Using the Zoom
Rotate the zoom control to activate the optical zoom.
• To zoom in so that the subject fills a larger area of
the frame, rotate toward g (telephoto zoom
position).
• To zoom out so that the area visible increases in the
frame, rotate toward f (wide-angle position).
• Rotating the zoom control all the way in either
direction adjusts the zoom quickly, while rotating
the control partially adjusts the zoom slowly (except
during movie recording).
• The zoom can also be operated by rotating the side
zoom control (A2) toward g or f.
The function of the side zoom control can be set in
the Assign side zoom control in the setup menu
(A103).
• Amount of zoom is displayed at the top of the
monitor screen when the zoom control is rotated.
• Rotating the zoom control toward g at the
maximum optical zoom ratio triggers the digital
zoom and the digital zoom can magnify up to about
2× beyond the maximum magnification of the
optical zoom.
C Digital Zoom and Interpolation
• When the digital zoom is used, the image quality starts to
deteriorate if the zoom position is increased beyond the V
position on the zoom bar.
The V position moves to the right as the image size (A73)
becomes smaller.
• Using Digital zoom in the setup menu (A103), it is possible to set the digital zoom so that it
does not operate.
