Can't get the menu to come up or get it off of digital mode

Hi Keith, The link below is the user manual for the Pentax Optio E30 Digital Camera, On page 56 it says
• In Green Mode, you cannot change the information displayed on the LCD monitor by pressing the 4/W button.
• You cannot use the [A Rec. Mode] menu or Capture Mode Palette in Green Mode. If you try to display the [A Rec. Mode] menu or Capture Mode Palette, - (key lock icon) appears.
• If you switched to Q mode from Green Mode, you cannot display the [H Setting] menu by pressing the 3 button. If you try to display the [H Setting] menu, - (key lock icon) appears.
• When the camera is turned off in the Green Mode, it turns on in the Green Mode next time the power switch is pressed.
THIS IS YOUR CAMERAS USER MANUAL.....CHEERS..

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.

Press the shooting mode button in shooting mode to display the shooting mode selection menu and set the shooting mode to Auto (the green camera). Press MENU to display the shooting menu. Navigate to "Image Mode" if necessary and press OK. Take your pick of sizes here, then press OK to save the change and then MENU to exit the menu.

Press the shooting mode button in shooting mode to display the shooting mode menu and set the shooting menu to Auto mode (the green camera). Press MENU to display the shooting menu. Use the arrows to select "Image mode."

Check the recording mode you are using. This option is available on Auto, Scene and Macro modes only. To set this, press Menu/Set button to enter the REC mode menu and select the recording option to set.

While in capture mode, hit the green (delete) button.

You can change modes from here. :)

Turn on the power with the mode switch in the camera position. Press MENU to display the menu. Select Mode (REC Mode) menu item with the left & right arrow buttons on the control button. Select the "normal" setting with up/down arrow buttons. Press MENU to turn off the menu. I believe the pictures already taken in burst mode are retained in the camera. Please update the question & let us know if the information given was useful to you - Good Luck!
