S23+ zoom capabilities

[derohanes]

I have an S23+ and curious on the zoom capabilities. I have 3 questions:

1. When zooming on the slider, at what "x" value does it switch over to using the optical zoom lens. For example, at 100x how much is optical, and how much is digital zoom?
2. Is there a way to pick optical zoom only?
3. What is the mm telephoto lens equivalent of 100x?

Good luck with an answer

According to GSMArena which are normally accurate, optical zoom is 3X so anything beyond 3X is digital zoom

I think it has a dedicated 10X camera lens. From that point on, zoom would have to be digital. That is strictly a guess but was my understanding of the similar lenses on my S21ultra.
