Digital Zoom (DIGITAL TELE)

In “digital zoom,” images are processed digitally to enlarge the center portion of photographs to fill the frame. Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of detail visible in the photograph. Instead, details already visible are enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image.

CONCEPT By default, the COOLPIX 950 automatically enters digital zoom mode when the zoom-in (T/▲) button is held down for two seconds at maximum zoom. This automatic digital zoom is described in the Pocket Guide, “Taking Photographs: Composition and Focus.” In M-REC mode, you can choose a fixed digital zoom setting of from ⋅1.25 to ⋅2.5. Optical zoom will still be active and can be used to frame pictures precisely. You can also turn digital zoom off, preventing the camera from entering digital zoom mode when the zoom in switch is held down at the maximum optical zoom position.

Digital zoom settings only take effect when the LCD monitor is on. While digital zoom is in effect, the zoom indicator will be displayed in the LCD monitor, with the digital zoom ratio shown to its right, and the green AF lamp will blink slowly. To restore automatic digital zoom, select AUTO from the D-TELE menu.

Note

Digital zoom is not available at a multi-shot (CONTINUOUS) setting of “16-shots” (see the Pocket Guide, “Taking Photographs: Multi-Shot Photog- raphy”).
