"Zoom Out" refers to the action of changing the perspective or scale of a view, often used in photography, video editing, and digital mapping. By zooming out, a broader context is revealed, allowing viewers to see more of the surrounding area or the bigger picture. This technique can enhance understanding by providing additional information that may not be visible at a closer range. In digital applications, such as Google Maps or photo editing software, zooming out can help users navigate or edit images more effectively. It allows for easier planning, organization, and analysis by showing relationships and patterns that might be overlooked when focusing on a smaller area.
