zoom feature

Camera's closer look

A zoom feature is any control that magnifies or reduces the view of something—typically images, documents, or maps on a screen.

Most software and devices include zoom features accessible through pinching gestures, keyboard shortcuts, or on-screen controls: Use the zoom feature to read the fine print.

Cameras have optical zoom features that adjust the lens, distinct from digital zoom that merely enlarges pixels.
