      IMPORTANT
      When digital zoom is set, the following conditions will apply:
      • Still photo shooting is not possible.
      • Since movie digital zoom processes the image digitally, the image will look rougher at higher magnifications. Noise, light spots, etc., may also become noticeable.
      • When movie digital zoom is set, the scene icon will not be displayed.
      • When movie digital zoom is set, the maximum ISO speed will be ISO 6400 (it cannot be expanded to H: equivalent to ISO 12800). Also, magnified view is not possible.
      • the camera will focus with [FlexiZone - Single] (fixed at center).
      • If you use movie digital zoom, contrast-detection AF will be used regardless of the lens used. The AF speed will therefore become slow.
      • Movie Servo AF will not work.
