Deterioration point

The deterioration point depends on the current image size setting (page 35). 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 “7M” 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.

When “HD/STD” is selected as the movie mode, minimal deterioration up to a zoom factor of 28.5X is possible only for STD shooting.

The zoom bar is not displayed while movie recording is in progress.
