On CCD, it's 5X, 10X, 20X and 40X for a standard model, and 2X, 4X, 20X and 40X for a low-magnification model.
In multi-screen mode, magnification on the monitor varies depending on the monitor you use. For example, on a 17" monitor, the following is a guide for on-monitor magnifications in multi-screen mode.
When 5X is chosen: 145X
When 10X is chosen: 290X
When 20X is chosen: 580X
When 40X is chosen: 1160X
Furthermore, digital zoom (1.4X, 2X, 2.8X, 4X, 16X) is possible in full-screen mode.
