If you press the MOVIE button during a zoom operation, the zooming position will return to the optical zoom range of your lens. When [Digital Zoom] is set to [On], the camera zooms in at the [Digital Zoom] range. • When you use the zoom feature of the camera, the setting of [Autofocus Area] is invalid and the AF area is indicated with a dotted line. AF operates with priority on and around the center area. Also, [Metering Mode] is fixed to [Multi]. • The zoom speed differs depending on which lens with power zoom you use. Confirm the operation of the lens before shooting. z The quality of the zoom feature of the camera As the image is zoomed by digital processing in [Clear Image Zoom] and [Digital Zoom], the image quality deteriorates compared to that before zooming was used. If you use a zoom lens, we recommend that you fully zoom in on an image using the zooming ring first, and then use the zoom feature of the camera if you need further zooming. 50GB
