Digital zoom set at 1.7
Q: What is a digital zoom?
A: A digital zoom is a camera trick that goes vroom. The optical lens goes as far as it can. Then the digital zoom increases the size of the man. He’ll become somewhat blurry. Though he’s not in a hurry.

Q: When can I use it?
A: If there’s plenty of daylight don’t have a fit. Make your body steady. Take the photo when you’re ready.

Q: Will my pictures look better?
A: Think of a fuzzy Deinse Huxtable sweater. The pixels get bigger and the clarity lesser. Listen to me, I don’t lie like Vanessa.

Here’s proof, a visual, an example of my reason. Horton’s trunk with a flower in season. It’s hard to decipher and blurred it surpasses. If you stare too long you might need to wear glasses.

I have never been to Universal. Does Horton only have one eye?
Lisa responds: No, Horton has 2 eyes. Finding a subject that is of great distance and without anything in its path to demonstrate digital zoom is harder than it sounds.
