DIGITAL ZOOM

The digital zoom doubles the lens magnification. The digital zoom cannot be used with RAW image quality or in movie recording.

Press the magnification button (1) on the back of the camera. The effect is immediately displayed. Pressing the magnification button a second time cancels the digital zoom.

The live image is enlarged on the LCD monitor and is cropped with a shaded border in the EVF. X2.0 is displayed in the monitors when the digital zoom is in effect. When using the wide focus area (p. 44), the AF sensor will not appear to indicate the point of focus.
