Step 2 Frame a Picture

Basic Photography and Playback: A (Auto) Mode

Using the Zoom

Rotate the zoom control to activate optical zoom.

Rotate in the direction of g to zoom in on the subject.

Or rotate in the direction of f to have a wider view.

Rotating the zoom control all the way in either

direction will adjust the zoom quickly, while rotating

the control partially will adjust the zoom slowly.

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 magnification, rotating

the zoom control in the g direction will trigger digital zoom. The subject can be

magnified up to 4× of the maximum optical zoom ratio.

Focus will be on the center of the frame and the focus area will not be displayed

when digital zoom is in effect.

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 according to the image size (A76) and

digital zoom magnification.

Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond V when shooting still pictures. 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 still pictures without interpolation is possible at the current image size

setting.

• By using Digital zoom (A164) in the setup menu (A152), it is possible to restrict the

magnification of the digital zoom within a range where images may not deteriorate, or to set the

digital zoom so that it will not operate.
