Zoom Factor
The image deterioration point
depends on the image size (page
55). The smaller the image size, the
higher the zoom factor you can use
before reaching the image
deterioration point.
IMPORTANT!
• When shooting with the ART SHOT Crystal Ball scene, the maximum zoom factor
is 2.0X.
Shooting with Zoom
HD Zoom
Allows greater zoom capabilities by cutting out a portion of the
original image and enlarging it, without deterioration of image
quality.
SR Zoom
Applies super resolution technology to suppress image
deterioration.
Digital zoom
A digital process is used to enlarge the center of the image, so
there is deterioration of image quality.
