Setup Menu
  Digital  Zoom  Image
If [Normal] (the default option) is selected for [Digital Zoom Image] , 
digital zoom will enlarge image data from the center of the frame to 
create a picture at the current image size, creating a slightly grainy 
image. To record pictures taken with digital zoom at actual size, select 
[Auto Resize]. The size at which the image will be recorded varies with 
the zoom ratio.
To use auto resize zoom, hold the zoom 
lever at z (Telephoto) until the camera is 
zoomed all the way in, then briefly release 
the zoom lever and turn it to z again.
Image size changes each time the zoom 
lever is turned to z. The current size is 
displayed above the zoom bar.
The auto resize zoom is enabled when 
 4 : 3 F or   4 : 3 N is selected 
for [Picture Quality/Size] (GP.67), and the digital zoom is enabled in 
other cases.
