When Using a Tripod
• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations.
- When shooting in dim lighting
- When shooting with the flash mode (A50) set to W (off)
- When using the telephoto setting
• When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Vibration reduction to Off in
the setup menu (A78) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.
Using the Zoom
When you move the zoom control, the zoom lens position
changes.
• To zoom in closer to the subject: Move toward
g (telephoto)
• To zoom out and view a larger area: Move toward
f (wide-angle)
When you turn the camera on, the zoom moves to the
maximum wide-angle position.
• A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor
when the zoom control is moved.
• Digital zoom, which allows you to further magnify the
subject up to approximately 4× the maximum optical
zoom ratio, can be activated by moving and holding the
zoom control toward g when the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom
position.

Digital Zoom and Interpolation
While using digital zoom, the image quality decreases due to
interpolation when the zoom is increased beyond the V position. The
position of V moves to the right as the size of an image decreases.
