Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom. Rotate 
the zoom control toward 

g to zoom in, increasing the 

size of the subject. Rotate the zoom control toward 

f 

to zoom out, increasing the area visible in the frame.
• The zoom position is set at the maximum wide-

angle position when the camera is turned on.

• A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the 

monitor when the zoom control is rotated.

When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position, rotating 
and holding the zoom control at 

g triggers digital zoom.

Digital zoom can magnify the subject up to about 4× beyond the maximum 
magnification of the optical zoom.

The camera focuses at the center of the frame and the focus area is not displayed 
when digital zoom is in effect.

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

A 45) and 

digital zoom magnification.

Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond V when taking still images. 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 160) in the setup menu
