Digital Zoom - Minolta DiMAGE F300 Instruction Manual

Digital zoom

The digital zoom is activated on the auto-recording mode menu (p. 38) and in the custom 2 section of
the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 56). The digital zoom extends the power of the telephoto
position of the optical zoom by up to 4X in 0.1X increments. The transition between the optical zoom
and digital zoom is seamless. When the digital zoom is active, the image magnification is displayed
on the monitor and the focus frames change to a single focus area. The autofocus mode is set to sin-
gle-shot AF (p. 64). The digital zoom is canceled if the LCD monitor is turned off.
Digital zoom images are interpolated to the set image size. There can be some loss of quality with
images taken with the digital zoom.
