Step 2 Frame a Picture
Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode
Using the Zoom
Tap e or f to activate optical zoom.
Tap e to zoom in so that the subject
fills a larger area of the frame, or f to
zoom out, increasing the area visible in
the frame.
A zoom indicator is displayed when e
or f is tapped.
Digital Zoom
When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position, touching
and holding e triggers digital zoom. The subject is magnified up to 4× the
maximum optical zoom ratio.
The focus area is not displayed when digital zoom is in effect, and focus will be in
the center of the screen.
C Digital Zoom and Interpolation
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as
interpolation to magnify images, resulting in slight deterioration of picture
quality.
Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond E. When zoom is
increased beyond the E position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom
indicator turns yellow to indicate that interpolation is being applied. The
position of E moves to the top as image size decreases, allowing for
confirmation of the zoom positions at which shooting without
interpolation is possible at the current image mode setting (A116).
Digital zoom can be disabled from the Digital zoom option (A143) in
the setup menu (A133).
