Zoom Shot. A zoom is technically not a camera move as it does not require the camera itself to move at all. Zooming means altering the focal length of the lens to give the illusion of moving closer to or further away from the action. The effect is not quite the same though.
Camera s with figures in this column have a digital zoom that increases the magnification of the optical lens by the quoted figure. To do this it uses part of the CCD so the resolution is reduced to allow for the increase magnification. Digital zoom is a method of decreasing (narrowing) the apparent angle of view of a digital photograph ic or video image, quality is reduced except for optical zoom.
