Step 2 Frame a Picture
Basic Photography and Playback: Easy Auto Mode
Using the Zoom
Tap j or k to activate optical zoom. Tap
j to zoom in so that the subject fills a
larger area of the frame, or k to zoom out,
increasing the area visible in the frame.
Digital Zoom
When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position, touching
and holding j triggers digital zoom. The subject is magnified up to 4× the
maximum optical zoom ratio.
The camera focuses at the center of the frame and the focus area is not displayed
when digital zoom is in effect. The touch shutter (A 51) and touch AF/AE (A 53)
functions are not available.
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 V. When zoom is increased
beyond the V position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom indicator turns
yellow to indicate that interpolation is being applied. The position of V
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 (A 64).
Digital zoom can be disabled from the Digital zoom option (A148) in the
setup menu (A 139).
