Zooming In On Your Subject; Using The Zoom - Olympus 225690 - Stylus 600 6MP Digital Camera Advanced Manual

Zooming in on your subject

Using the zoom

You can zoom in on your subject using the optical zoom and digital zoom. With the
optical zoom, the image is enlarged on the CCD when the lens magnification is
changed, and the image is formed by all the CCD pixels. With the digital zoom, the
area at the center of the image captured by the CCD is cropped and enlarged.
Because digital zoom takes a small area of the picture and enlarges it, the picture
becomes grainy as the digital zoom magnification increases.
The following zoom magnifications are available on this camera.
