Rotate the zoom control to activate the 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.
• When the camera is turned on, the zoom is at 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 2× 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 the optical zoom, the digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as interpolation to 
magnify images, resulting in slight deterioration of picture quality depending on the image mode 
(

A74) and digital zoom magnification.

Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond V when taking still pictures. 
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 (

A152) in the setup menu (A141).
