Glossary Digital zoom: Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of visible detail. Instead, details visible using optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image. Discharge: The capacity of rechargeable Ni-MH batteries will drop if they are repeatedly charged without first being fully discharged.
