Digital Zoom Image
If [Normal] (the default option) is selected for [Digital Zoom Image] ,
digital zoom will enlarge image data from the center of the frame to
create a picture at the current image size, creating a slightly grainy
image. To record pictures taken with digital zoom at actual size, select
[Auto Resize]. The size at which the image will be recorded varies with
the zoom ratio.
Auto resize takes effect if you keep the z
button pressed when the zoom bar is full.
The size will then change each time the
z button is pressed; the current size is
displayed above the zoom bar.

The auto resize zoom is enabled when l 4 : 3 F or l 4 : 3 N is selected
for [Picture Quality/Size] (GP.63), and the digital zoom is enabled in
other cases.
