Rotate the zoom control to activate optical zoom.

Rotate in the direction of 

g to zoom in on the subject.

Or rotate in the direction of 

f to have a wider view.

A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor 
when the zoom control is rotated.

When the camera is already at the maximum optical zoom magnification, rotating 
the zoom control in the 

g direction will trigger digital zoom. The subject can be 

magnified up to 4× of the maximum optical zoom ratio.

When using digital zoom, the camera will focus on the center of the frame and the 
focus area will not be displayed.

Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as interpolation to magnify 
images, resulting in slight deterioration of picture quality according to the image mode (

digital zoom magnification.

Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond V. When zoom is increased beyond the V 
position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom indicator turns yellow to indicate that interpolation 
is being applied.

The position of V moves to the right as image size decreases, allowing for confirmation of the 
zoom positions at which shooting without interpolation is possible at the current image mode 
setting.

• Digital zoom can be disabled from the Digital zoom option (A 127) in the setup menu 

A 116).
