DIGITAL ZOOM

In multi-function recording mode, the digital zoom can double the effect of the optical zoom lens. The digital zoom magnifies the image in two steps: 1.5X and 2X. Although images are interpolated to their original image size, image quality may not be equal to images taken without the digital zoom. The digital zoom is activated on the multi-function recording menu (p. 24). The effect of the digital zoom is visible on the LCD monitor only.

EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

The camera exposure can be adjusted to make the final picture lighter or darker by as much as ±1.5 Ev in 0.3 increments. The exposure compensation must be set before the image is captured and will remain in effect until it has been reset.
