Zoom; Using The Optical Zoom - Olympus CAMEDIA C-755 Ultra Zoom Reference Manual

Zoom

Telephoto and wide-angle shooting are possible at 10x magnification (the
optical zoom limit, equivalent to 38 mm – 380 mm on a 35 mm camera). When
taking still pictures, you can increase zoom magnification to a maximum of
approximately 40x by combining the optical zoom with the digital zoom.
During movie recording, the digital zoom magnification is 2.5x.
Camera movement is likely to occur at higher magnifications. Stabilize the
camera with a tripod, etc. to avoid camera movement.
