Why the 'Zoom' Feature on a Phone Camera Decreases Quality
We’ve all done it. Saw an opportunity for a cracking photo, grabbed the phone, launched the camera app, pointed, and then being so far away, tapped to zoom in to get a clearer shot of something in the distance. It works great for digital photography, but try to print a photo, you’ll notice obvious snags in the quality of the print. The reason is that phones don’t yet, all have optical zoom technology. It’s coming, but until then, you need to know what you’re working with.
