Comparing optical
and digital zoom
Get closer and capture distant subjects in impressive detail with
optical zoom, which delivers higher quality results than a standard
digital zoom (such as the one found in most mobile devices). If you
need more zoom power, ZoomPlus, an advanced digital zoom, lets
you get even closer without any noticeable loss of quality.
