Mavic 3 Cine

[Trident]

I need just one question answered please, the other conversations here talk more about the Mavic 3 Pro Cine, but my question relates to the Mavic 3 Cine.
What exactly is the setup of the zoom camera, on some sites it says 7x on others 7 - 28x and DJI manual says Format equivalent 162mm, but still does not say x7 optical like the Pro has.
Is it a 7x OPTICAL on the zoom part of the orig DJI Mavic 3 CINE?

The Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 cine don't have any zoom lenses.
Their cameras are identical and have two fixed focal length lenses, one a wideangle and the other a moderate telephoto.
There is no optical zoom, any zoom is digital zoom.

I think I worded that wrong - I'm aware they are fixed focal lengths, but really just wanted somewhere to see it said that 7x Tele camera was indeed Optical 7x, not some form of hybrid.

Per above, it's definitely not an optical zoom.

Two separate cameras with two separate lenses and sensors.

Sensor 4/3 CMOS, Effective pixels: 20 MP
Lens FOV: 84° 35mm Equivalent: 24 mm
Aperture: f/2.8 to f/11

Sensor 1/2-inch CMOS
Shutter Speed Electronic Shutter: 2-1/8000 s
Lens FOV: 15°
Format Equivalent: 162mm
Aperture: f/4.4

Although the tele camera has a tiny sensor it is capable of producing surprisingly good results in good light.

The lingo DJI has addopted with using term ZOOM has been source of confusion for many. There is no optical zoom in any DJI current multicamera drones line up, period.
Their 3x and 7x "zoom" nomenclature refers to multiplication factor of the main camera focal length which in M3 and M3P case is 24mm. The 7x (so called zoom) is 7x24=168 rounded down to 162mm fixed focal length camera.
In case of Mavic3Pro there is also 3x "zoom" camera which is again no more, no less than 3x24=72 rounded down to 70mm fixed focal length camera, and the 7x is actually 166mm tele camera in M3P.
The only zoom in these drones is digital.
