Digital Zoom; Zooming In Closely On Subjects - Canon PowerShot SD 1400 IS User Manual

Zooming in Closely on Subjects

(Digital Zoom)

You can use the digital zoom to zoom up to a maximum equivalent of 16x
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. 73) and the zoom factor used.
What if the zoom factor appears in blue?
Images shot at zoom factors that appear in blue will be coarse.
