CX6 : What is the Auto resize zoom ? / What is the different between [Auto Resize Zoom] and [Normal] for [Digital Zoom Image] ?

This function allows you to crop and record a shot image. Conventional digital zoom enlarges a portion of an image to a set magnification. Whereas, auto resize zoom saves the cropped portion of the image, the image quality is not decreased by enlargement. The image recording size changes depending on the auto resize zoom magnification.

Auto resize zoom is available only when [Picture Quality/Size] is set to 10M 4:3F, 10M 4:3N (3648 × 2736) only.

* All images below are are simulated.

Auto resize zoom

Auto resize zoom crops an image with 10M, to 5M 4:3F, 3M 4:3F, 1M 4:3F, or VGA 4:3F (same magnification) without enlargement.

As shown above, you can save the cropped image. Regardless of the magnification ratio, the image quality of the cropped image is as same as the original one. (However, when you increase the magnification ratio, the image size will become smaller.)

Zoom Magnification Focal Length Image Size
Approx. 1.0x 300mm 10M 4:3F,10M 4:3N
Approx. 1.4x 420mm 5M 4:3F
Approx. 1.8x 530mm 3M 4:3F
Approx. 2.9x 850mm 1M 4:3F
Approx. 5.7x 1710mm VGA 4:3F
* Values of the focal length are equivalent to those on 35 mm film cameras.

Digital Zoom

The digital zoom enlarges a cropped image with interpolation. The higher digital zooming, the larger magnification with the smaller area. The image size (pixel dimensions) is the same as the original one, and it looks as if it were the extension of digital zoom, however, it is grainy and has a lot of noise.
