C Using a Tripod

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

-When shooting in dim lighting or when the flash mode (A54) is set to W(Off).

-When using the telephoto setting.

•Set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (A98) when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.

Using the Zoom

Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom.

•Rotate the zoom control to gto zoom in so that the subject fills a larger area of the frame.

•Rotate the zoom control to f to zoom out, thus increasing the area visible in the frame.

•The zoom position is set at the maximum wide-angle position when the camera is turned on.

•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 gwhen the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position.

C Digital Zoom and Interpolation

Playback and Shooting for Steps Basic

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, selecting a smaller image size in the image mode setting

(A63, E32) allows you to zoom in further without decreasing the image quality due to interpolation.
