camera on, the zoom moves to the maximum
wide-angle position.
• Rotating the zoom control all the way in either
direction will adjust the zoom quickly, while rotating
the control partially will adjust the zoom slowly
(except when recording movies).
• A zoom indicator is displayed atthe top of the
monitor when the zoom control is rotated.

[] 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 pictu re quality according to the image mode (_ 71) and
digital zoom magnification.
Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond _ when taking still pictures.
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.
