Nikon S6400 manual Using the Zoom, When Using a Tripod, Digital Zoom and Interpolation, Zoom out

C When Using a Tripod

•We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations.

-When shooting in dim lighting or when the flash mode (A59) is set to W (off)

-When using the telephoto setting

•Set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (A104) when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.

Using the Zoom

Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom.

•To zoom in closer to the subject, rotate the zoom control to g(telephoto).

•To zoom out and view a larger area, rotate the zoom control to f (wide-angle).

When you turn the camera on, the zoom moves to the maximum wide-angle position.

•A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor when the zoom control is rotated.

•Digital zoom, which allows you to further magnify the subject up to approximately 4× the maximum optical

zoom ratio, can be activated by rotating and holding the zoom control to g when the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position.

C Digital Zoom and Interpolation

While using digital zoom, the image quality decreases due to interpolation when the zoom is increased beyond the V position. Since the position of V moves to the right as the size of an image decreases, selecting a smaller image size in the image mode setting (A69) allows you to zoom in further without decreasing the image quality due to interpolation.
