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 (t;I
95)
setting.
