Zoom Options

You can use the Zoom Options to determine various functions that relate to the
initial set up of the lens and the aperture variations relative to the Zoom position.

Digital Tele

Sets the Digital zoom setting.

Startup Position Sets the initial Zoom position.

Fixed Aperture

Fixes the camera aperture during
Zoom operation to ensure consistent
exposure with external flash units.

— Digital Tele —
The Digital zoom function digitally enlarges the center of the image so that it fill the
entire frame. The Digital Zoom only functions during shooting if the Monitor is turned on.

Shooting Mode

On

Hod down the (optical) Zoom button for more
than 2 sec. after the Zoom has reached its highest
telephoto setting. The Digital zoom function (p. 63)
then starts up automatically and the image in the
Monitor is zoomed by up to 4.0x.

Off

Digital zoom function does not operate.

— Start-up Position —

Last Position

When you turn the camera on, the lens
moves to its Zoom position at the time
the camera was last turned off.

Wide

When you turn the camera on, the lens
zooms in to the wide-angle setting.

Tele

When you turn the camera on, the lens
zooms up to the telephoto setting.

• The start-up position for Zoom applies when shooting in both

and

modes.

• The start-up time is shortest for the telephoto Zoom setting.

— Fixed Aperture —

Off

Aperture varies with zooming.

On

In Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual Exposure mode,
the camera memorizes aperture when zooming
begins and the aperture value remains fixed
throughout zooming. Note that with the fixed
aperture setting, zooming may cause the exposure
to exceed the exposure control range of this camera.

Note: Exposure in Fixed Aperture setting
Since the exposure will vary as the field of view changes, the exposure may exceed
the control range of the camera when you use the zoom with the Fixed Aperture
setting. To avoid this, use a Fixed Aperture setting of approx. f/5 to f/7.

Speedlight Options

This menu controls settings for built-in Speedlight and for external
Speedlights.

Variable Power

Adjusts flash output level.

Int Flash Off

Suppresses firing of the built-in
Speedlight.

Shot Confirm Lamp

Turns the shot confirmation lamp
on and off.

— Variable Power —
Flash output can be adjusted through 12 levels—from –2EV to +2EV in
1/3-EV steps.

— Int Flash Off —
This setting allows you to take photographs with multiple external
Speedlights. When the Int Flash Off setting is not selected, you can
take pictures using multiple flash units, including both the built-in
Speedlight and an optional external Speedlight. When this setting is
selected, the built-in Speedlight flash is suppressed and only the
optional external Speedlight(s) fire. In this situation, the flash modes for
the optional Speedlights can be selected using the Flash mode button
on the COOLPIX995 when the built-in Speedlight is raised.

• When Int Flash Off is set to On, ‹ (optional Speedlight indication), the Flash

mode indication for the optional Speedlight, and fi (built-in Speedlight Flash
suppressed) appear on the Control panel. The Flash mode indication for the
optional Speedlight and fi (built-in Speedlight Flash suppressed) also appear on
the Monitor.
