DIGITAL ZOOM

The digital zoom is activated in section 2 of the recording-mode menu (p. 48). The digital zoom increases the magnification of the greatest telephoto setting of the optical zoom by up to 4X in 0.1X increments. Although the images recorded with the digital zoom are interpolated to the set image size, the quality of the images may not be equal to images taken without the digital zoom; the greater the power of the digital zoom the lower the image quality.

At the maximum telephoto position, press the up key of the controller to engage the digital zoom. The zoom magnification will be displayed in the top right corner of the monitor.

To zoom out, press the down key of the controller.

When the digital zoom is active, the focus frame changes size.
