I tried to setup a camera as like a telescope in my world so people can see
stuff from far away using the zoom feature. But all it showed was a bigger
picture of what people can already see from that location. I want to be able
to have objects and textures download that you can see through the camera
from far away.

Far more of a visibility problem. Should be some sort of work-around,
especially in worlds that may be game-like and request all *players*
pre-loading the world cache.

Yeah...i was hoping it wouldnt be like that. Thats what you call digital
zoom where it just enlarges the picture actual zoom is when it zooms in so
you can see farther. Hopefully they add true zooming to cameras in a later
build.

Actually, if it were a digital zoom type thing, the image would get
pixellated as you zoom in. Since that doesn't happen, it is in fact akin
to "optical" zoom, because you can see more detail when you zoom in
(more detail of objects within vis range).

The issue here is with the visibility setting, not how zoom works.
