Digital zoom causes the picture to lose quality as it crops the image and then enlarges it to fit in the frame.
Optical zoom lens changes focal length and magnification as it is zoomed.
Explain what is meant by the term mega pixel.
One of the most common terms used in digital photography is megapixel. It comes from the word pixel which in computer lingo, means, 'a dot.'
