Digital Zoom - Sony α SLT-A58 Instruction Manual

• Do not shoot a strong light source, such as the sun. The internal mechanism of the
camera may be damaged.
• When you import AVCHD movies to a computer, use "PlayMemories Home"
(pages 64, 178).
• When you continue to shoot for an extended period of time, the temperature of the
camera rises and the image quality may deteriorate.
• When the icon appears, the temperature of the camera is too high. Turn the
camera off and wait until the temperature of the camera drops. If you continue to
shoot, the camera turns off automatically.
• Since the shutter speed and aperture are automatically adjusted, the shutter speed
will be higher and the movement of the subject may not be smooth under bright
conditions. Selecting manual focus and adjusting the shutter speed or aperture may
make the movement smoother (page 102).
• A value for ISO sensitivity between ISO 100 and ISO 3200 can be selected when
you record movies. If you start movie recording with a value of ISO 3200 or larger
selected, the ISO sensitivity is switched to ISO 3200. When you finish recording
your movie, the ISO sensitivity setting returns to the previous value.
• When [ISO] is set to [Multi Frame Noise Reduct.], [AUTO] is temporarily selected.
• You cannot select [Soft Focus], [HDR Painting], [Rich-tone Mono.], or [Miniature]
in [Picture Effect]. When movie recording starts, [Picture Effect] is temporarily set
to [Off].
• [Clear Image Zoom] cannot be used during movie recording.

You can use the digital zoom feature during movie recording. The quality,
however, will deteriorate because image processing is performed.
