Smart zoom
Digital processing lets you zoom in the
image without deterioration.
When the zoom exceeds 3×, enlargement is
carried out using the smart zoom. When the
smart zoom is not needed, set [Smart Zoom]
to [Off] in the SET UP settings (page 116).
When you press the zoom button, the zoom
scaling indicator appears on the LCD
screen.

When the image size is [5.0M] or
[4.5M(3:2)], the smart zoom does not
work.
• When using the smart zoom, the image on the
LCD screen may look rough. However, this
phenomenon has no effect on the recorded
image.
• AF range finder frame is not shown when using
the smart zoom. The AF range finder frame
indicator flashes and the centrally-located
subject has priority to focus on.
