If you use movie digital zoom, contrast-detection AF will be used regardless of the lens used. The AF speed will therefore become slow. When movie digital zoom is set, the maximum ISO speed will be ISO 6400 (it cannot be expanded to H: equivalent to ISO 12800). Also, magnified view is not possible.

Since movie digital zoom processes the image digitally, the image will look rougher at higher magnifications. Noise, light spots, etc., may also become noticeable.

When movie digital zoom is set, the scene icon will not be displayed. Also see “Shooting Conditions that Make Focusing Difficult” on page 241. Still photo shooting is not possible.
