From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]:
zoom
To show a smaller area of an {image} at a higher
magnification ("zoom in") or a larger area at a lower
magnification ("zoom out"), as though using a zoom lense on a
camera.
Unlike in an optical system, zooming in on a computer {image}
does not necessarily increase the amount of detail displayed
since this is limited by what is actually stored in the image.
Similarly, you cannot zoom out beyond the full size of the
image.
