Step 2 - Frame the Picture
Ready the camera
Hold the camera steadily in both hands. Photo-
graphs can be framed in the monitor or the
viewfinder.
Frame your subject
Your Nikon digital camera is equipped with two
types of built-in zoom: optical zoom, in which the
camera’s telescoping lens can be used to magnify the
subject up to 3 ×, and digital zoom, in which digital
processing is used to further magnify the image up
to 4 ×, for a total of 12 ×. Use the zoom buttons to
frame your subject in the center of the monitor:
• Press the
l
(
W
) button to zoom out from
your subject, increasing the area visible in the
frame.
• Press the
O
(
T
) button to zoom in on your sub-
ject so that it fills a larger area of the frame.
• When the camera is zoomed in to maximum
magnification, holding the
O
(
T
) button down
for about two seconds will trigger digital
zoom. The zoom indicator will turn yellow,
and the green (AF) lamp next to the viewfinder
will blink. Use the
O
(
T
) and
l
(
W
) buttons
to adjust zoom in the digital zoom range. To
cancel digital zoom, press
l
(
W
) until the
zoom indicator turns white.
