Using The Zoom - Nikon Coolpix 55200 Quick Start Manual

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 (A58) 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.

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 (A64) allows
you to zoom in further without decreasing the image quality due to
interpolation.
