zooming in
Enlarging the view
Zooming in is adjusting a view to make something appear larger or closer.
With cameras and screens, you zoom in to see details: Zoom in on that license plate.
The phrase extends to focusing attention on specifics: Let's zoom in on the third quarter numbers.
The opposite is zooming out.
