Using Z

The Z allows you to zoom in on a subject with less degradation of photo quality than the Digital zoom. However, the photo resolution may change compared to when you zoom in by rotating the zoom ring.

1Rotate the mode dial to P, A, S, M, or i.

2Press [i-Function] on the lens to select Z.

•You can also press [i-Function], and then press [C/F] or drag the screen to select Z.

3Adjust the focus ring to select a zoom ratio.

•You can also scroll the jog dial or drag the screen to select an option.

•Photo resolution varies according to the zoom ratio if you use the Z.

	3:2	16:9	1:1
x1.2	4560X3040 (13.9M)	4560X2568 (11.7M)	3040X3040 (9.2M)

x1.4	3888X2592 (10.1M)	3888X2184 (8.5M)	2592X2592 (6.7M)

x1.7	3264X2176 (7.1M)	3264X1840 (6.0M)	2176X2176 (4.7M)

x2	2736X1824 (5.0M)	2736X1536 (4.2M)	1824X1824 (3.3M)

These figures are based on the maximum resolution at each image ratio.
