Using the Zoom
When you move the zoom control, the zoom lens
position changes.

• Rotating the zoom control all the way in either
direction adjusts the zoom quickly.

zoom control toward g or f.
The function of the side zoom control can be set in
the Assign side zoom control in the setup menu
(A57).
• A zoom indicator is displayed on the shooting
screen when the zoom control is moved.
• Digital zoom, which allows you to further magnify
the subject up to approximately 4× the maximum
optical zoom ratio, can be activated by moving and
holding the zoom control toward g when the
camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom
position.

The zoom indicator changes to blue when the digital zoom is activated, and it
changes to yellow when the zoom magnification is increased further.

Dynamic Fine Zoom.
• Zoom indicator is yellow: There may be cases in which image quality is noticeably
reduced.
• The indicator remains blue across a wider area when the image size is smaller.
