(

)

button can be used to zoom in on pictures to a
maximum of 10×. The following operations can
be performed while pictures are zoomed in:

Creating a Cropped Copy

If a

icon is displayed in the monitor during

playback zoom, the portion of the picture cur-
rently visible in the monitor can be saved to a
separate file. Pressing the shutter-release but-
ton displays the dialog shown at right; high-
light Yes and press the center of the multi
selector to create a new picture containing only
the area visible in the monitor.

Depending on the size of the original and the zoom ratio at the time the copy was
created, copies will be

2,592 × 1,944

(COOLPIX L3 only),

1,024 Ч 768,

640 Ч 480,

320 Ч 240, or

tures from the original pictures.
