Digital zoom

Enlarges the image using digital processing.

Pressing (digital zoom) activates the digital zoom. There are two modes in the digital zoom function. One is “Precision digital zoom” and the other is “Smart zoom.” Because each mode uses different methods and has different magnifying capacity, choose the mode according to your shooting.

The icon changes as follows according to the zoom mode.

Optical zoom:

Precision digital zoom: Smart zoom:

•The digital zoom cannot be used when shooting in RAW mode (page 79).

•AF range finder frame is not shown when using the digital zoom. The AF range finder frame indicator flashes and a centrally-located subject has priority when the camera is focusing.

Precision digital zoom

Enlarges the image two times larger than the optical zoom scaling now selected. The maximum zoom scaling is about 14× regardless of the selected image size. Since the precision digital zoom cuts part of the image and enlarges the rest, the image quality deteriorates.

Set [Digital Zoom] to [Precision] in the SET UP settings (page 140).

The default setting is [Precision].
