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.

Don’t Block the Shot

To avoid dark or partially obscured pictures, keep
your fingers and other objects away from the
lens, flash window and microphone.
