Digital Zoom and Interpolation
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom
uses
a digital imaging process known
as
interpolation to magnify
images, resulting
in
slight deterioration
of
picture quality.
Interpolation
is
applied at zoom positions beyond
8.
When zoom
is
increased beyond the 8
position, interpolation
is
initiated and the zoom indicator turns yellow to indicate that interpolation
is
being applied. The position
of
8 moves
to
the right
as
image
size
decreases, allowing for
confirmation
of
the zoom positions at which shooting
without
interpolation
is
possible at the
current image mode setting.
