Optical zoom

Optical zoom works like the zoom on a traditional film camera,
with physical lens elements moving inside the camera to make
the object of your picture appear closer.

In buttons to move the lens
between wide angle and telephoto
positions (1x to 3x).

Digital zoom

The camera essentially crops the image, then uses interpolation
to enlarge the image to give the appearance of the object in
the picture being from 1x to 5x closer.
