That explains it! But clicking with the middle mouse button on the map
and moving it also changes the zoom... but I guess a stylus does not
have one...

... but "+" and "-" keys also work (they work in plain Marble as well,
so I think this is not a Digikam specific feature). Just make sure the
focus is on the Marble widget (left click it once to be sure).

Wow, 4 ways to change the zoom...
