DIGITAL ZOOM

The digital zoom is activated in section 3 of the recording menu (p. 40). The digital zoom increases the magnification of the greatest telephoto setting of the optical zoom by up to 4.3X in 0.1X incre- ments. Although the images recorded with the digital zoom are interpolated to the set image size, the quality of the images may not be equal to images taken without the digital zoom; the greater the power of the digital zoom the lower the image quality. The effect of the digital zoom is visible on the LCD monitor only. The digital-zoom function is canceled if the LCD monitor is turned off (p. 29).

At the maximum telephoto position, contin-
