CUsing 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 (A45) is set to W (Off).

-When using the telephoto setting.

•Set Vibration reduction in the setup menu (A74) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.

Using the Zoom

Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom. Zoom out Zoom in

•To zoom in closer to the subject, rotate the zoom

control to g(telephoto).

• To zoom out and view a larger area, rotate the zoom control to 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 rotated.

• Digital zoom, which allows you to magnify the subject up to approximately 4× beyond the maximum magnification of the optical zoom, can

be activated by rotating and holding the zoom control to gwhen the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position.

CDigital Zoom and Interpolation

While using digital zoom, the image quality decreases due
to interpolation when the zoom is increased beyond the V	Small image size
position. 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 (A53) allows you to zoom in
further without decreasing the image quality due to
interpolation.
