CDigital Zoom and Interpolation
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as interpolation to magnify images, resulting in slight deterioration of image quality.
Interpolation is applied when shooting still images at zoom positions beyond V.
When zoom is increased beyond the Vposition, interpolation is initiated and the zoom indicator turns yellow to indicate that interpolation is being applied.
The position of Vmoves to the right as image size decreases, allowing you to confirm the zoom positions at which still images can be captured without interpolation using the current image mode setting.
