zoom
Hello,
could you help, please?
Can we use the word 'zoom' to mean 'close-up' , for example:
(describing a photo) It's a zoom on a flower.
It's a close-up of a flower.
Dictionaries say 'zoom' is just a camera lens, but maybe this word is also used to mean 'close-up'.
Thank you for your help.

If you zoom in, you move in for a close-up; if you zoom out, you move out for a wider view.

I don't believe I've heard someone say "This is a zoom-in of a flower," though.
I would understand the meaning, but I haven't heard it used as a noun.

It's a verb. If you zoom in (verb) on a flower and take a picture, you'll have a close up shot (noun).

i agree with that.
But the first post seemed to be asking about its use as a noun. I think we are in agreement that it should not be used that way.

I think you're right. I looked at "zoom on a flower" and thought there was a missing "in."
