The right side of the bar shows the digital zooming zone. The zooming zone appears when you move the zoom lever.

With the digital zoom, the image is digitally processed more than the intelli or optical zoom modes. As a result, the image resolution may deteriorate.

The image quality may deteriorate depending on how much you zoom in on the subject.

Maximum zooming may result in lower image quality.

The zoom range will change depending on the aspect ratio of the video.
