Using the Digital Zoom

Using a combination of 3 times optical zoom and 4.0 times digital zoom permits zoom photography up to 12 times to suit the subject and the distance. Digital zoom is a compelling feature, however, the more an image is enlarged (zoomed), the more pixelated (grainer) the image will appear.
