Digital zoom
In digital zoom, the Image Display shows a yellow frame around the scene and the image quality setting (MP value). As you zoom in, the scene expands to show what the camera will capture, and the MP value decreases to indicate the resolution at which the scene will be captured.
When capturing images using digital zoom, make sure that the MP value on the Image Display is appropriate for the size at which you want to print the captured image. For MP values and their recommended print sizes, see Image Quality under “Using the Picture Capture and Video Record menus” on page 14.
