Limit zoom on D90 LCD to 100 percent?

[peterafle]

<p>O wise and generous Nikon-shamans --<br>

During image playback on a D-90, is it possible to limit the extent of the zoom on the camera's LCD display, such that it will stop at 100% or "actual pixels"? When I am zooming in to check focus or sharpness on an image I have just taken, it appears to zoom to a magnification greater than 100 percent, which seems pointless to me, since at that point, the display is pixelizing the image. If I had my druthers, I would like to see a menu option to stop the zoom at that point, but I don't see any indication in the manual or elsewhere that this exists. Perhaps this is something that could be considered in a future firmware update?</p>

<p>Alternatively can someone confirm for me that the zoom setting one-step-before-maximum corresponds to 100% or "actual pixels"? In case it matters, I shoot in NEF mode.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance, most learned ones.</p>

<p>[[Just like on the D3 and D300 there are eight zoom levels, on the high resolution screen the last two go beyond 1:1 and provide an enlarged pixelated view.]]</p>

<p>I do not think that you can limit it. It is what it is. I too, hoped you could do this.</p>

<p>Thanks for the link, Rob. So assuming dpreview is right, if I want 1:1, I should use the zoom setting *two* levels below the max...</p>

<p>dpreview is correct</p>

<p>Zoom all the way in and back out TWO steps to get to 100%</p>

<p>There is no setting to stop the review from zooming beyond 100%.</p>

<p>For the D90 I find that the 5 zoom clicks gives me a view close to 100%.</p>
