[] Digital Zoom and Interpolation

Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as interpobtion to magnify

images, resulting in slight deterioration of picture quality according to the image mode (_ 47) and digital zoom magnification.

Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond _ when taking still images.

When zoom is increased beyond the _ position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom indicator

turns yellow to indicate that interpolation is being applied,

The position of _ moves to the right as image size decreases, allowing for confirmation of the

zoom positions at which shooting without interpolation is possible at the current image mode setting.
