Digital Zoom
When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position, holding
down the g button triggers digital zoom. The subject is magnified up to 4× the
maximum optical zoom ratio.
When digital zoom is in effect, the focus area will not be displayed and the camera
will focus on the subject in the center focus area.
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 right as image size decreases, allowing for
confirmation of the zoom positions at which shooting without interpolation is possible at the
current image mode setting.
Digital zoom can be disabled from the Digital zoom option (A111) in the setup menu (A101).
Optical zoom (up to 4×). Digital zoom is in effect.
