Optical/Digital Switch Point

Zoom Pointer

Image Deterioration Point(Indicates current zoom.) Image starts to deteriorate from here.

(Point factor depends on image size.)

The above shows what the zoom indicator looks like when digital zoom is turned on (page 62). The digital zoom range is not displayed when digital zoom is turned off.

The image deterioration point depends on the image size (page 71). The smaller the image size, 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 “5M (2560 1920 pixels)” 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 shooting with “Auto Framing” (page 104), image quality will be deteriorated even if you are

using digital zoom within the “Undeteriorated Image Quality Range.”
