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).

• When the power is turned on, the zoom is at the

maximum 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).

• A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor

when the zoom control is rotated.

Digital Zoom

When the camera is already at the maximum optical zoom position, rotating the

zoom control toward g (telephoto zoom position) triggers the digital zoom.

Digital zoom can magnify the subject up to about 4× beyond the maximum

magnification of the optical zoom.

• The focus will be at the center of the frame and the focus area will not be

displayed when the digital zoom is in effect.

C Digital Zoom and Interpolation

Unlike the optical zoom, the digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as interpolation to

magnify images, resulting in slight deterioration of image quality depending on the image mode

(A71) and digital zoom magnification.

V indicates the zoom position where interpolation is applied when shooting still pictures. When the

zoom is increased beyond the V position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom indicator also turns

yellow.

V moves to the right as the image size becomes smaller, allowing you to confirm the zoom position

that can be used to capture still images without image degradation before shooting at the current

image mode setting.

• Digital zoom can be disabled from the Digital zoom option in the setup menu (A100).
