Zoom Tools

Use

You use these tools to magnify or reduce the magnification of images and scenes, display them as they best fit within the viewport, and display them in their standard view.

Note that for 2D images, this standard view is the image’s actual size. For 3D scenes, it refers to the scene’s standard camera view.

When you zoom in on a scene, the camera angle (FOV) is narrowed to magnify scene. When you zoom out from a scene, the camera angle is widened to reduce the magnification.
