Digital Zoom - Minolta Dimage Dimage Xi Instruction Manual

Digital zoom

Assisting the optical zoom is a 2X and 4X digital zoom. The digital zoom is activated in the custom
section of the recording-mode menu (p. 28).
The digital zoom increases the magnification of the greatest telephoto setting of the optical zoom in
0.2 steps up to 2X or 4X. Although the images recorded with the digital zoom are interpolated to the
set image size, the quality of the images may not be equal to images taken without the digital zoom;
the greater the power of the digital zoom the lower the image quality. The effect of the digital zoom is
visible on the LCD monitor only. The digital-zoom function is canceled if the LCD monitor is turned off
(p. 52).
Activate the digital zoom in the custom section of
the recording mode menu.
• The digital zoom will remain active until reset
on the menu.
At the maximum telephoto position, press the
zoom lever up to engage the digital zoom.
• The zoom magnification will be displayed in the
top right corner of the monitor.
• To zoom out, press the zoom lever down.
When using the movie-recording drive mode, the
4X digital zoom is active even when the 2X zoom
is set.
When the digital zoom is
active, the wide focus
frame and spot focus area
(p.50) are enlarged.
