Turn on digital zoom - Canon PowerShot SD960 IS Digital Camera

You can maximise it .. but remember digital zoom deteriorate the image quality.. better to use only optical zoom and then crop in the computer

There are certain modes that you simply can't get digital zoom in (such as widescreen mode). If that isn't the problem, perhaps it's not enabled. According to the manual which I believe is here: http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/7/0300001567/01/PSSX10IS_CUG_EN.pdf on page 54 of the manual (p56 of the PDF) it shows that the digital zoom can be enabled in the FUNC menu (in a record mode). The description of digital zoom, including the safety zone, which might explain why you can't get digital zoom under certain circumstances, is on page 68. Note that there's a big chart on page 286/287 that shows what features are available in each mode - I have a feeling that this could be your problem.

First, the digital zoom feature is not available in AUTO mode.

If you're not in AUTO mode, is the digital zoom turned on in the menu? Check the "DIGITAL ZOOM" entry in the Shooting menu.

You can turn on/off the digital zoom. While on shooting mode, press MENU button and go to left end tab menu items. Navigate to "Digital Zoom" and select the desired¡red setting: ON or OFF. Remember that digital zoom can't be used if the screen is turned off.

Solution: Procedure for setting Digital Zoom PowerShot A520

Digital Zoom When the LCD monitor is on, images can be zoomed with the combined optical and digital zoom functions as follows (figures are approximate): 5.7 times, 7.1 times, 8.9 times, 11 times, and 14 times 1. Press the <DISP.> button to turn the LCD monitor on.
2. Turn the shooting mode dial to any Shooting mode except for or .
3. In the [ (Rec.)] menu, select (Digital Zoom).
4. Select [On] using the or button and press the <MENU> button.
5. Press the zoom lever toward and hold it.

• The lens will zoom to the maximum optical telephoto setting and stop. Release the lever and press it toward again to further zoom the image digitally.
• Press the lever toward to zoom back out.

6. Shoot the image.

• Shooting procedures are the same as for the mode.

• The digital zoom cannot be used when the LCD monitor is off.

• images become coarser the more they are digitally zoomed.
• Since camera shake may become a factor when using the digital zoom, the use of a tripod is recommended.
• Digital Zoom is disabled when the [Postcard Print Mode] is selected as a image quality setting.

IF this fails, your camera is in need of service.

first of all why do you want to use digital zoom? it distorts your pictures! but if you insist, check the settings because it is possible to turn digital zoom off

Three things: First, it is possible to disable the digital zoom feature on your camera. See the attached picture for instructions on how to make sure that digital zoom support is turned on. Second, digital zoom is only supported when you have the LCD turned on. Third, digital zoom isn't really a zoom. It is simply taking a smaller picture, and then stretching it out. Instead, you should take the picture with no zoom, then crop the photo using your PC to get it to the size you like. Keep in mind that digital zooming and cropping are technically the same thing. Both lower the amount of information you are capturing, and both will reduce the overall quality of the photo when you print it. I recommend Preclick's photo organizer (for Windows). It is free and can be downloaded from www.preclick.com.

When DIGITAL ZOOM is set to ON in the MODE MENU, the lens can zoom into the Digital Zoom portion of the zoom by pressing the zoom (T) button. When you see the zoom indicator on LCD enter the red portion (towards Tele), the image in the viewfinder will become closer. However, since the D-630 is using the digital portion of the zoom, the lens doesn't physically zoom, it takes the existing image and enlarges your image using an electronic program. This can result in a “noisy” or “grainy” look to the image. This is normal when using the DIGITAL ZOOM. The DIGITAL ZOOM can be turned OFF to prevent you from using this portion of the zoom. Locate DIGITAL ZOOM in the Mode Menu and set it to OFF.
