4.2.1.6 Digital Zoom
The Digital Zoom functionality is very useful when there are small details in the scene, but
the camera doesn’t support optical zoom and there’s no way to visually enlarge those objects.
In order to use the Digital Zoom functionality, follow the steps below:
1. Click on the video window in order to set a focal point.
2. Use the mouse wheel to zoom the image in and out (a magnifying glass is shown).
3. When partially or totally zoomed in, click any point on the video screen in order to
centralize the video window on this point. This also resets the zoom's focal point.
You cannot use the Digital Zoom functionality if your mouse doesn’t have a mouse
wheel.
You can use digital and optical zoom simultaneously. You will first zoom optically
and switch to digital zoom when you can no longer zoom optically.
