Digital zoom

When the zoom exceeds 3x, 
enlargement is carried out using digital 
processing of the image. The image can 
then be enlarged up to 6x using the 
digital zoom feature. Because picture 
quality deteriorates when digital zoom 
is used, set “DIGITAL ZOOM” in SET 
UP to “OFF” when this feature is not 
needed (page 97).

The DSC-P31 does not have an optical 
zoom. It has only a 3x digital zoom. 
There is no Digital zoom item in SET 
UP.
When you are using digital zoom, you
