If you reconfigure the sensor without cropping you do not end up with a zoomed image, just with a reduced resolution one. With a fixed focal length in order to zoom you need to decrease the sensor size, therefore cropping, so digital zoom
aaah interesting. Then the resolution is increased, but how does it affect the overall image quality since you have the same amount of photons in more wells ?

Not if you default to reduced resolution mode, then you can reconfigure to an increased one ;)
