zooms out
Shows more area
To zoom out is to adjust a camera, screen, or viewpoint to show a wider area, making individual elements appear smaller while revealing more context: Zoom out so we can see the whole building.
Figuratively, zooming out means stepping back to consider the bigger picture rather than focusing on details: Let's zoom out and think about our long-term goals.
