Zooming in More Closely on Subjects (Digital Zoom)

You can use the digital zoom to zoom up to a maximum of 56x and capture
subjects that are too far away for the optical zoom to enlarge. The images
may appear coarse, however, depending on the recording pixel setting (p. 72)
and the zoom factor used.
