If I understood correctly, the maximum zoom factor comes from
scan_resolution/printer_resolution. For me its 8 (1200 dpi/150 dpi).
The minimum step with the mouse it 0.05 for me. So maybe your scanner
just has a high resolution?

However, with the cursor keys you should be able to select down to 0.01.
