Smart zoom

You can zoom in the image with much less image quality deterioration. You can use the smart zoom as though it were the optical zoom.

The zoom scaling becomes the number that multiplies the following smart zoom scaling by the optical zoom scaling now selected.

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

The maximum zoom scale is as follows and it depends on the image size. The zoom scale displayed on the screen is an approximate value.
