to cause text or other graphics in a window or frame to appear larger on the screen Explanation: In IT, zoom into means "to cause text or other graphics in a window or frame to appear larger on the screen". But in photography or camera, it means "to direct a camera (on to an object etc) and use a zoom lens to make it appear to come closer". http://www.thefreedictionary.com/zoom Zoom into it means a do a close-up of the object. |

zoom in to Explanation: I think that the English needs correcting. The verb is "to zoom in". The magnification gives the effect of getting closer to a selected area of the display - like zooming in with a plane perhaps. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2009-10-16 12:41:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If "to zoom into" is accepted, the next step on the slippery slope might be "to zoom outof"! |
