The 0.39-inch OLED viewfinder has a resolution of 2.35 million dots and diopter adjustment. The Nikon Coolpix P1000 has a pop-up flash as well as a hot shoe for attaching an external flash. The shutter button also has a zoom lever, and it can be programmed in an interesting way, which we'll get in to in the next section. The zoom lever lets you make minor adjustments to the zoom level. ‘Snap-back zoom' is useful, as once you press it, the viewfinder zooms out a little for you to re-frame your shot, and once you release it, it snaps back to that zoom level. The left side of the lens has a button for a ‘snap-back zoom' feature and zoom lever. The Nikon Coolpix P1000 has a plastic build and can be heavy to handle

The front of the lens has a ring around it that lets you adjust focus in manual mode, but it can also perform different functions like exposure compensation, ISO or white balance adjustment, depending on what you set it to. This is something that couldn't be helped, considering the purpose it's trying to achieve. The camera is front-heavy due to the 17-element lens array, so it's not the most ergonomic design. The hand grip is chunky, with plenty of rubber inserts, giving you the feel of a DSLR. The plastic body feels sturdy and has a subtle texture that allows for a good grip. It's also quite heavy at 1.4kg and the design of the lens and placement of some of the buttons require you to use it with two hands at all times. In fact, it occupies a similar volume to a Canon 5D Mark III with a 100mm macro lens.
