6.5 x magnification, and digital zoom to 13x. i.e. only the 2 options, and nothing in between. A lower magnification option would have been nice, but I'll get used to it.
There was no reduction in image quality when using the digital zoom, as the sensor is full HD, but the screen you look through is only 800x600 pixels.
It also has a picture in picture feature whereby the magnified image of the crosshair centre is displayed at the top of the screen, so you can have both wider field of vision, and a fully magnified crosshair centre for precise shot placement. I didn't use it, as it wanted to keep it simple on the first outing.
Early days. I also still need to update the date and time as someone pointed out.
