Updated on:
Some digital camera manufactures advertise a camera’s zoom capability as a total zoom. When you see a total zoom listing, it is the digital zoom multiplied by the optical zoom. For instance, a camera touting a 20x total zoom could be a digital camera with 4x optical and 5x digital zoom.
