Snapshot Tutorial

• The deterioration point depends on

the current image size setting (page

35). The smaller the image size

setting, the higher the zoom factor

you can use before reaching the

image deterioration point.

• Though digital zoom generally

causes a deterioration of image

quality, some digital zoom without

image deterioration is possible with

image sizes of “6M” and smaller. The

range in which you can use digital

zoom without image deterioration is

indicated on the display. The

deterioration point depends on the

image size.

• When “HD/STD” is selected as the movie mode, minimal deterioration up to a

zoom factor of 27X is possible only for STD shooting.
