Zoom; Using The Optical Zoom - Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom Quick Start Manual

Zoom

Telephoto and wide-angle shooting are possible at 5× magnification (the optical
zoom limit, equivalent to 28 mm to 140 mm on a 35 mm camera). By combining
the optical zoom with the digital zoom, zoom magnification can be increased to
a maximum of approximately 15×.
Camera movement is likely to occur at higher magnifications. Stabilize the
camera with a tripod, etc. to avoid camera movement.
