Framing Pictures: Optical and Digital Zoom
Your Nikon digital camera offers two kinds of 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 2.5 ×.
Optical Zoom
Photos can be framed in the viewfinder or monitor using the zoom buttons.

While digital zoom is in effect, the zoom factor increases each time the T button is
pressed, to a maximum of 2.5 ×. Pressing the W button decreases the zoom factor.
To cancel digital zoom, press the W button until the zoom indicator disappears.
