Please could you tell me why, when, and where, you would use the zoom button on the camera.
Its obviously there for a reason but I cant see what.
I am no doubt missing out on something.
Cheers

Cameras D7500, D850, Z7ii, the two buttons are on the camera body, ie a magnifying glass symbol, one to zoom in and the other to zoom back out.
When I'm shooting macros at fairly high magnification ratios I rely on the zoom button (in conjunction with Live View) to help me nail the focus. And, again after I take the shot to be sure I've nailed the focus.
And, yeah, I'm a chimper when doing regular photography. I'm always looking down at my display after pressing the shutter button to make sure I've got what I want. That zoom button really comes in handy.

Cheers guys. Making sense now.
Just to recap, the camera is set to Live View and mounted on a tripod, the lens is set to Manual, you use zoon-in button to (say taking a woodland scene), zoom-in to a tree trunk at mid field depth and manually focus the lens on that tree trunk. Then zoom-out using other button, back to full viewfinder view and take photo, knowing that the lens is still focused exactly on the tree trunk.
Have I got it right ????
I think my last comment may have been missed. I just need to know that I am thinking correctly.
Thanks guys.
