Digital Zoom; Instant Playback - Minolta DiMAGE Xt Instruction Manual

DIGITAL ZOOM

The digital zoom is activated in the custom 2 section of the recording-mode menu (p. 38).
The digital zoom increases the magnification of the greatest telephoto setting of the
optical zoom by up to 4X in 0.1X increments. 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. 30).
At the maximum telephoto position, press the up
key of the controller to engage the digital zoom.
The zoom magnification will be displayed in the
top right corner of the monitor.
To zoom out, press the down key of the controller.
When the digital zoom is active, the focus frame
changes size.
