If you have a camera in your hand and you zoom in on something, you can still see further than it, how is this possible when you are holding it further than your eyes, and it is zooming in?

You may be referring to the concept that your field of vision is much wider than most camera lenses.
However, a camera with a zoom lens is capable of capturing object details which cannot be seen by a person who has 20/20 vision.
The human eye's visual receptors are not as capable as some of today's highly sophisticated cameras, in terms of capturing details of objects which are located at extreme distances.

I believe that our brain compensates for distance and reasons out the reality of 'further' better than an inanimate camera, without the power of reason.
But that's just what I think -anyway that is the answer I'd give to a Grandchild while I was looking it up. LOL

Cameras are produced in such a way that we can see a greater range and to see more the camera shot has to look smaller.For instance if you want to see you full reflection in a mirror you move backwards when you move backwards the mirror appears to be becoming smaller but you get that full range from had to toe.So the camera is trying to give you that full range with the small picture.

I camera can still see that far, but it doesn't capture light as good as the human eye does, that's why they have a flash.

God is better than the camera makers.
