Digital zoom function
This camera has a digital zoom function.
Digital zoom enlarges the image by digital processing, and it starts to function when
the zoom exceeds 3 (MVC-FD85)/8 (MVC-FD90).
Using digital zoom
• The maximum zoom magnification is 6 (MVC-FD85)/16 (MVC-FD90).
• Digital zooming deteriorates the picture quality. When digital zoom is not necessary, set
[DIGITAL ZOOM] to [OFF] in the menu settings (page 33).
