The digital zoom may only be turned on in Normal, Scn1, Scn2 or Movie mode. Press 'Menu/Set' -&gt; Select Digital Zoom off/on

Hit the "Menu" button on the back of the camera. The first item on the screen is "Digital Zoom". The default setting is "Standard" but if you click to the right and you'll see where you can select "Off".

I think so? I'll try it in my g5 when I go home, and give you my findings. Because I am using the power zoom function, & it works to my lumix lenses, so I'll try that specific lens. So I tried it & the toggle switch is only for ez zoom (extended zoom) that you can use for all lenses.You will know if it is a power zoom when it has the PZ letters before or after the model of the lens usually in the pancake lens.

You need to use controller on the camera. It doesn't work with PTZ option. Manual control located right before the camera on the wire.

Jeffroar, have you had any luck in determining a solution? I just got my FZ100 last week and have been struggling with the same issue. Without the flash I'm amazed at how well it captures true color/light, but when I open the flash to "brighten up" my shot the resulting image is much darker. Any thought (Les or others) on if an external flash would help here by extending the range?Thanks - Rich

I just tested it, and you can zoom during movie mode.Oops--I have CHDK on my memory card.CHDK gives your camera many new features that Canon 'forgot' to enable (such as motion detection, interval scripting, exposure bracketing, etc.).Zoom was probably disabled because it adds a lot of noise, so Canon only gives you digital zoom in movie mode. If you want optical zoom, put CHDK on your memory card. This will also give you an option to mute it during zoom. Alternatively, you could edit it after on your computer.google for CHDK for more info. This makes Canon point-and-shoots much more featureful than other brands and sold me on this Powershot (a great camera for $75).

Are you asking or telling? I noticed I had to long press before I could zoom on mine. Hope this helps

Not sure. Mine never worked properly and the zoom function was non-functional.

HeidiI don't think I'm more advance with this unit than you are at this point!I have not tried the zoom feature and I can't help you there regarding whether the text stays on the screen.I was playing with the basics of the screen formatting last night.I did mess around with the settings and got the "boxing" to be reduced and the image enlarged. I believe this was under Setup\TV Settings, and then I selected the 4:3 PS that you described.This seems to work pretty well for me.

You have to be shooting at a low megapixel rate...i think it is 5 or lower to get the zoom to work.

In the Settings Menu (the one with the wrend picture on the left tab) look for IS MODE. Turn it on and zoom all the way in. Then turn it off and you can tell the difference.

Hi again. Just tried mine out while recording a video and zooming in and out just as you asked, and it's silent. Sorry -- it does seem that you've got a lemon.

No it doesn't. You can get a program to do digital zoom, but that is just blowing up the picture and making it fuzzy.

To turn off the Zoom >press the Menu button on the back of the camera. You will see a icon with a camera and under it is a list of options, Digital is the 3rd one down > press the left side of circle around Func. Set to turn off.

Yes, much better better than a paperweight! I wonder why no one at Zoom directed me to this. I'll give it a try when I get to work on Monday - thanks for the tip. Any idea what the button press sequence would be to highlight the "OK" as shown after copying the file to the SD card and restarting the machine?

I too, have the open button that I slide and the flash comes on automatically. I changed my battery before I thoroughly tested mine but the problem with mine was the zoom would no longer retract. I finally just gave up and got a used one which I am totally happy with now. Like Ms. Jump stated though, Kodak has excellent customer service. Sorry, I wasn't much help on your issue.
