BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
Digital Zoom
Digital zoom digitally enlarges the part of the image at the center of the image screen. The range of digital zoom is 4X to 16X (in combination with optical zoom).
IMPORTANT! 
•Digital zoom is disabled whenever the monitor screen is turned off (page 34).
•When you perform a digital zoom operation, the camera manipulates the image data to enlarge the center of the image. Unlike optical zoom, an image enlarged with digital zoom appears coarser than the original.
