B Notes About x(Scene Auto Selector) Mode

•Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. In this case, select another shooting mode (A32, 38, 40, 42).

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

C When Using a Tripod

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

-When shooting in dim lighting

-When shooting with the flash mode (A46) set to W(off)

-When using the telephoto setting

Using the Zoom

When you move the zoom control, the zoom lens position 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.

•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 4× 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.
