Casio EXILIM EX-Z550 User Manual page 49

• The image deterioration point
depends on the image size (page
33). The smaller the image size, the
higher the zoom factor you can use
before reaching the image
deterioration point.
• Though digital zoom generally
causes a deterioration of image
quality, some digital zoom without
image deterioration is possible with
image sizes of "10M" and smaller.
The range in which you can use
digital zoom without image
deterioration is indicated on the
display. The deterioration point
depends on the image size.
