Digital Zoom

Unlike optical zoom, data from the camera's image sensor are processed digitally with digital
zoom. Details visible at maximum optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly
"grainy" image.
l
High-sensitivity Shooting Mode
In high-sensitivity shooting mode (c 33), sensitivity is increased to reduce blurring caused by
camera shake or subject movement under low lighting.
l
Anti-shake Mode
In anti-shake mode (c 42), [Vibration reduction] (c 107) and [BSS] (best shot selector)
(c 88) are enabled to reduce blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement, and
the flash is disabled. With [BSS] enabled, the camera takes shots to a maximum of ten, they
are compared, and the sharpest picture (picture with the highest level of detail) is saved. A
higher sensitivity is set, and the shutter speed will be faster, even for shooting subjects in the
same brightness, than in L (auto) mode. This mode is not suited to shooting under low
lighting, but is suited to shooting under natural light when the camera is zoomed in.
