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).
• 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 by 4× 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 (A77) becomes smaller.
• Using Digital zoom in the setup menu (A110), it is possible to restrict the magnification of the
digital zoom to a range where images do not deteriorate, or to set the digital zoom so that it does
not operate.
