You can zoom by adjusting the field of view (fov) by:

fov = 2*atan(width/2*near*aspect)

where "width" is the world portion seen through the camera, "near" is the
near plane distance from the eye.

Subject: [osg-users] Perspective Camera Question

Hello,

I'm trying to do magnification operations with a perspective camera lens
by adjusting the camera's distance from the object.  Ex. Given a
magnification factor of 3x I would multiply my current camera distance
by 1/3.  However, the results are not what I expect, objects become much
larger than 3 times there old screen size.  Can anyone point me towards
a resource for better understanding the use of Perspective Cameras?

Yuen
