Use 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.

• 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.

• When you are using digital zoom, the camera focuses on the subject in the 

center of the frame and the focus area is not 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 (

A 63) 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 you to confirm the zoom 
position at which shooting without interpolation is possible at the current image mode setting.

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