The camera essentially crops the image to give an appearance
of the subject of the picture being an additional 1.1x to 5x

HP M305 camera.

the area of the image that will be
captured, and the image enlarges
in the yellow frame.

becomes smaller as you digitally zoom. For example, 2.3MP
appears in place of 3MP, indicating that the image is being
reduced to a size of 2.3 Megapixels.

button to take the picture.
