Digital Zoom and Interpolation
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as interpolation to
magnify images, resulting in slight deterioration of picture quality.
Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond V. When zoom is increased beyond the V
position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom indicator turns yellow to indicate that
interpolation is being applied. The position of V 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 (A 95) setting.
• The digital zoom (A 125) can be turned off in the setup menu (A 114).
