[] Digital Zoom and Interpolation
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as interpobtion to magnify
images, resulting in slight deterioration of picture quality,
Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond ,J_,, When zoom is increased beyond the ,-_
position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom indicator turns yellow to indicate that interpolation
is being applied. The position of ,-_ 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.
