Nikon’s new patent has manual and electronic camera zoom
On DSLRs, you zoom by twisting the lens, while on point and shoot cameras, you usually just press a button. Now a new Nikon patent, leaked via Nikon Rumors, shows a new way from Nikon to zoom a lens, both manually and electronically.
The new patent, filed in Japan, offers the usual manual zoom via the lens, while a second option has a button on the back side which zooms the lens in electronically.
