•The deterioration point depends on the current image size setting (page 29). The smaller the image size setting, the higher the zoom factor you can use before reaching the image deterioration point.

•Though digital zoom generally causes a deterioration of image quality, some digital zoom without image deterioration is possible with image sizes of “4M” and smaller. The range in which you can use digital zoom without image deterioration is indicated on the display. The deterioration point depends on the image size.

•Maximum zoom (including digital zoom) during movie recording is 48X.

•Movie recording with little deterioration up to 48X is possible only when “STD” is selected as the movie mode.
