S25 camera - optical/digital zoom question

[Pearson100]

At what point does the camera switch from optical zoom to digital zoom?

Thanks.

@Pearson100 The S25 model has 3X optical zoom on the 10M camera.

higher than 3x zoom, like 4x or even 10x or 30x all of these are digital zoom

only 3x or lower considered as optical zoom for your S25

the best one was S23U, this was the latest model with 10x zoom periscope telephoto, S24U and S25U both only have 5x zoom periscope telephoto
