224 The “Recording” (Camera icon) Menu Settings

Figure 5-67: Optical Zoom (left), Clear Image Zoom (center), and Digital Zoom
(right) compared.

Where would such a feature be useful? Here are some ideas:
1. If you’re in the back of an auditorium and you really want a closer shot
of the star.
2. If you’re a tourist and you won’t be pixel-peeping later on.

Figure 5-68: Left: Close-up of original image, cropped and upsized in
Photoshop. Right: Close-up of 8x with Digital Zoom. This is an extreme test but
definitely shows that the digital zoom beats cropping and upsizing in
Photoshop. This is a better implementation that what graced the original RX-
100.
