C When Using a Tripod

•We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations.

-When shooting in dim lighting or when the flash mode (A58) is set to W(off)

-When using the telephoto setting

•Set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (A104) when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.

Using the Zoom

Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom.

Zoom out

Zoom in

•To zoom in closer to the subject, rotate the zoom control to g (telephoto).

•To zoom out and view a larger area, rotate the zoom

control to f (wide-angle).

When you turn the camera on, the zoom moves to the maximum wide-angle position.

•A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor

when the zoom control is rotated.

• Digital zoom, which allows you to further magnify the subject up to approximately 4× the maximum optical zoom ratio, can be activated by rotating and holding the

zoom control to g when the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position.

C Digital Zoom and Interpolation

While using digital zoom, the image quality decreases due to

interpolation when the zoom is increased beyond the Vposition. Since

the position of Vmoves to the right as the size of an image decreases, Small image size selecting a smaller image size in the image mode setting (A64) allows

you to zoom in further without decreasing the image quality due to interpolation.
