Which term describes the process of increasing the camera's magnification?

Explanation:
Zooming is the term for increasing the camera’s magnification by adjusting the lens to a longer focal length (or by cropping in digital zoom). This narrows the field of view and makes the subject appear larger in the frame. Pan and tilt are camera movements—pan moves horizontally, tilt moves vertically—while focus changes the sharpness of the image but not its size. Optical zoom keeps image quality while magnifying; digital zoom crops the image and can reduce clarity.
