Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode Using the Zoom Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom. Rotate the zoom control to g to zoom in so that the subject fills a larger area of the frame, or f to zoom out, thus increasing the area visible in the frame. Step 2 Frame a Picture Zoom out Zoom in A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor when the zoom control is rotated. Optical Digital zoom zoom Digital Zoom When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position, rotating and holding the zoom control at g 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. Maximum optical zoom Digital zoom enabled 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. Small image size Digital zoom can be disabled from the Digital zoom option (A 128) in the setup menu (A 117). 25
