Using the Zoom

Rotate the zoom control to activate optical zoom.
To zoom in closer to the subject, rotate the zoom

control to

g (telephoto).

To zoom out and view a larger area, rotate the zoom

control to

f (wide-angle).

When you turn the camera on, the zoom moves to the
maximum wide-angle position.

The zoom operates quickly when you rotate the zoom

control fully, and operates slowly when you rotate the
zoom control partially (except when recording movies).

A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor

when the zoom control is rotated.

If you rotate the zoom control to g when the camera is

zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position, you
can use the digital zoom to magnify the image by up to 2×.

Easy Auto Mode

Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. In this

case, select another shooting mode (

A 37, 46, 48, 51).

When the digital zoom is in effect, the scene mode changes to U.

C

When Using a Tripod

We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:

- When shooting in dark conditions with the flash lowered, or when shooting in dark conditions

using a shooting mode in which the flash does not fire

- When zooming in on the subject

Set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (A 98) when using a tripod.

Digital Zoom and Interpolation

When using the digital zoom, image quality deteriorates when zooming
in past V in the zoom indicator.
The position of V is more to the right when shooting smaller images;
therefore, when the image size is smaller (as determined by the image
mode setting;

A 64, E39), more digital zoom can be applied without

image quality deterioration.
