When the digital zoom is in effect, the shooting scene is set to U.

CUsing a Tripod

In the following situations, use of a tripod is recommended to avoid the effects of camera shake:

-When shooting in a dark location with flash mode (A50) set to W(off) or in a mode which flash is disabled

-When shooting in the telephoto zoom position
