Using The Zoom - Nikon COOLPIX B600 Reference Manual

Using the Zoom

When you move the zoom control or side zoom control, the zoom lens position
changes.
To zoom in: Move toward g
To zoom out: Move toward f
When you turn the camera on, the zoom moves to the maximum wide-angle
position.
Zoom out
A zoom indicator, focal length (in
35mm [135] format), and digital zoom
magnification are displayed on the
shooting screen when the zoom
control or side zoom control is moved.
Digital zoom, which allows you to further magnify the subject up to approximately
4× the maximum optical zoom ratio, can be activated by moving and holding the
zoom control or side zoom control toward g when the camera is zoomed in to the
maximum optical zoom position.
Moving the zoom control all the way in either direction adjusts the zoom quickly
(the zoom does not adjust quickly even if you move the side zoom control all the
way).
When using the ML-L7 Remote Control (available separately), the camera zooms in
when the + button on the remote control is pressed and zooms out when the –
button is pressed.
C
Digital Zoom and Dynamic Fine Zoom
The zoom indicator changes to blue when the digital zoom is activated, and it changes to
yellow when the zoom magnification is increased further.
Zoom indicator is blue: Image quality is not noticeably reduced by using the Dynamic Fine
Zoom.
Zoom indicator is yellow: There may be cases in which image quality is noticeably
reduced compared to cases when the zoom indicator is blue.
The indicator remains blue across a wider area when the image size is smaller.
The zoom indicator may not change to blue when using certain continuous shooting
settings or other settings.
