Shooting with the Digital Zoom

The Digital Zoom function enlarges images by processing them. When you use the digital zoom, press- ing the z (Telephoto) button enlarges the subject even more than the specified enlargement ratio (opti- cal zoom). (Maximum of 3.4 magnification.)

To shoot with the Digital Zoom, follow the steps below.

With the subject image enlarged to the end of the T side (Telephoto) on the Zoom Bar, release the z button once and press zbutton again and hold down.

The digital zoom is activated and the subject becomes larger.

Turn the Mode Dial to 5

(Shooting Mode).

Press the shutter button.

 

 

Zoom in to the maximum by pressing the z button, while viewing through the LCD Monitor.

A bar is displayed in the LCD Monitor indicating Zoom status.

• The more you enlarge with the digital zoom, the lower the picture quality becomes.

• When using the digital zoom, compose your shot on the LCD Monitor.

• If you use the Mode Dial to change modes, the digital zoom setting is lost.

• To release the digital zoom, press the Z(Wide-angle) button.
