Using a Tripod
• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in the following situations:
- When shooting in dim lighting or when the flash mode ( A54) is set to W (Off).
- When using the telephoto setting.
• Set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (A98) when using a tripod to stabilize the
camera during shooting.
Using the Zoom
Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom.
• Rotate the zoom control to g to zoom in so that the subject
fills a larger area of the frame.
• Rotate the zoom control to f to zoom out, thus increasing
the area visible in the frame.
• The zoom position is set at the maximum wide-angle
position when the camera is turned on.
• A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor
when the zoom control is rotated.
• Digital zoom, which allows you to further magnify the
subject up to approximately 4× the maximum optical zoom
ratio, can be activated by rotating and holding the zoom
control to
g when the camera is zoomed in to the maximum
optical zoom position.

Digital Zoom and Interpolation
While using digital zoom, the image quality decreases due to
interpolation when the zoom is increased beyond the V position.
Since the position of V moves to the right as the size of an image
decreases, selecting a smaller image size in the image mode setting
(
A63, E32) allows you to zoom in further without decreasing the image quality due to
interpolation.
