Press the zoom buttons to activate the optical zoom.
• The subject fills a larger area of the frame: Press 

g 

(zoom in).

• The area visible increases in the frame: Press 

f 

(zoom out).

• When the power is turned on, the zoom is at the 

maximum wide-angle position.

• A zoom position is displayed at the top of the 

monitor when the zoom button is pressed.

If the zoom button 

g is pressed continuously when optical zoom is set at the 

maximum telephoto zoom position (maximum optical zoom), digital zoom will be 
activated.

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

• The focus will be at the center of the frame and the focus area will not be 

displayed when the digital zoom is in effect.

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

A61) and digital zoom magnification.

Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond V. When the zoom is increased beyond the V 
position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom indicator also turns yellow.
V moves right as the image size becomes smaller, allowing you to confirm the zoom position that 
can be used to capture still images without image degradation before shooting at the current image 
mode setting.

• Using Digital zoom in the setup menu (

A94), it is possible to set the digital zoom so that it does 

not operate.
