[] Digital Zoom and Interpolation
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as interpolation to magni_/
images, resulting in slight deterioration of picture quality.
Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond _'_. 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.

When an image size is small
