Using zoom Your camera has both optical and digital zoom. Optical zoom physically extends the lens to make the subject of your picture appear closer. After you have extended the lens fully using optical zoom, the camera employs digital zoom. Digital zoom uses no moving lens parts. Tip The more you zoom in on the subject of your picture, the more small movements of the camera are magnified (this is called camera shake). If appears when you press the Shutter button halfway down, the picture may be blurry. Be sure to hold the camera still or add more light to the scene. Try holding the camera closer to your body or against a steady object, or set the camera on a tripod or stable surface. Optical zoom Optical zoom moves the lens between wide angle (1x) and telephoto (3x). HP Photosmart R927 Digital Camera 15
