your map area is reduced. If you decrease the photo zoom level, map
text, lines, symbols, etc. are smaller and your map area is enlarged.

Measuring Distance and Area
Use the Measure tool on the toolbar to measure linear distance and area on
the map based on the units chosen in the Display tab of the Options dialog box.
The snap function snaps (attaches) the point of a measurement line to a point on a
road or another measurement object. This ensures a more accurate measurement of
distance or area.
The snap function is essential when measuring area. To measure area, you must
completely enclose the area by snapping your finish point to your starting point.
