B Notes About Easy Auto Mode

•Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. In this case, select another shooting mode (A30, 35, 37, 39).

•When the digital zoom is in effect, the scene mode changes to U.

C When Using a Tripod

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

-When shooting in dim lighting

-When the flash is lowered or when using a shooting mode in which the flash does not fire

-When using the telephoto setting

•When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (A69) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.

Using the Zoom

When you move the zoom control, the zoom lens position

Zoom in

changes.

 

 

• To zoom in closer to the subject: Move toward g(telephoto)

• To zoom out and view a larger area: Move toward f(wide-angle)

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

•The zoom operates quickly when you rotate the zoom control fully (except when recording movies).

• A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor when the zoom control is moved.

• Digital zoom, which allows you to further magnify the subject up to approximately 2× the maximum optical zoom ratio, can be activated by moving and holding the

zoom control toward gwhen 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. The

 

position of Vmoves to the right as the size of an image decreases.
