Digital Zoom and Optical Zoom

Most cameras have both optical zoom and digital zoom. Optical zoom works just like a zoom lens on a film camera.

The lens changes focal length and magnification as it is zoomed.

Image quality stays high throughout the zoom range. Digital zoom simply crops the image to a smaller size, then enlarges the cropped portion to fill the frame again.

Digital zoom results in a significant loss of quality as is clear from the examples below.
