Does this camera support Digital Zoom - so if you use a 12-50 lens Zoom lens it can be Digitally Zoomed to 24-100 for example.

If the lens is marked 12-50 is equivalant 35mm focal length will in fact already be 24mm-100mm. It will do digital zoom but remember any software zoom will not result in any increase in detail. It only crops and enlarges.

The camera does provide 2X digital zoom according to my google search. I personally don't/wouldn't use a digital zoom as you will lose detail. Digital zooming does not increase the amount of detail captured, only increases the size of the pixels. It does pretty much what you would accomplish if you were to hold a magnifying glass to your monitor. The better way to achieve a "digital zoom" is through cropping after the fact in the software you use to adjust your photos. It accomplishes the exact same thing with the exact same loss of quality as the digital zoom yet allows you to have better control over the portion of the image you wish to "zoom" or crop.

Yes, Digital Tele-Converter is described on page 84 in the User Manual: www.olympusamerica.com/files/oima_cckb/E-M10_MANUAL_ENGLISH.PDFI've never tried it until now, because I prefer to crop the image afterwards (with photoshop) if necessary. (This has the same effect in terms of image quality.)

Yes, it does support Digital Zoom. It is called Digital Tele-converter. You can find complete details at Olympus web site: http://www.olympusamerica.com/files/oima_cckb/E-M10_MANUAL_ENGLISH.PDF

Yes there's a 9600 and I believe a 9700. The zoom is better on the others not much. I have the 9600 as well. Honestly I think I'm done with these camera and models. I always have a problem with pictures being white washed, blurry, lighting, lens issues....on a nice sunny day they're great. Otherwise you take your chance I wouldn't buy it and if you do then get the insurance. I'm about to send mine in to get fixed.

Make sure in the settings that the zoom lever on the camera body is set to zoom for the lens. You can also set it to digital zoom and nothing. Maybe yours is set to nothing. Also check the "manual/servo" switch on this lens is set to servo

Yes. Specifications show that for the zoom, the 35mm equivalent is 24 mm to 120 mm. Standard is 50mm, so that should be plenty wide for your needs. This is a sweet little camera!

Yes. You can zoom, but you can't adjust the zoom once you've started recording.

Yes, but you have to learn how to zoom, wait for the focus, use the green 'hold' button on the top right, then click. The focus takes about a second, then shooting the pic takes a second. It is not very fast, but good for the price. You have to practice with the zoom. 100 yards is about the limit of its range to get a clear photo. The faster models like the Nikon or Sony are about $100-125 more and have the range. Bottom line, this camera is not designed well for long-distance photos at 100 or more yards. I have taken some at that distance that came out OK. Others didn't, even though I thought I was focused. Go to Google and look up the reviews. It's a mixed bag.

The short answer is "yes." The optical zoom is 21X. There is also an additional electronic zoom that extends the total zoom to 42X. Since the camera capability is 16 MP, you can get good (non grainy) photos at 42X. In decent daylight, you can easily shoot at 42X without a tripod.

Well, it only has digital zoom, and no real optical zooming (the lens does not move). I never use digital zoom, as it makes an already grainy image (from this camera anyway) even less sharp. If I wanted to "zoom" I would do it in post-processing in your computer's video editor, as you can crop at will.

As per Nikon - it is the 35mm equivalent of 22.5-675mm. I have found the zoom when fully extended - I am sorry but don't know the technical of that point - it is best to use a tripod. Even a small tripod works fine. I haven't had ANY trouble with any of the zoom features digital or otherwise for a point and shoot; actually am very impressed. Hope it helps.

No issue with the full 20x optical zoom. Suggest that you run a test under ideal condition i.e. with the camera on a tripod. You will get degradation when using the digital zoom at or near the max zoom.

Hello Tachi1Yes, most digital cameras must be set to Manual (M) or Semi-Manual (P) modes when using manual lenses or adapted lenses.No auto features are supported, thank you!

I dont believe you can use digital zoom if you're in the AI (auto intelligence) mode...maybe that is why? Otherwise if you're in normal or any of the scene modes, you should be able to use it (and the menu will let you turn it on).

Yes, optical zoom is now 24-70 (was 28-100) but aperture only goes from 1.8-2.8 as opposed to 1.8-4.9 on the older lens. Many enthusiasts prefer the faster aperture and 24mm wide over bigger zoom range.

I'm not sure what a zoom # is. It is very nearly a 4x optical zoom ( not digital ). It will give you a field of view ( based on the 35mm film camera or FF field of view ) of 90mm to 350mm due to the m4/3 sensor size which roughly has a 2X crop factor (while a Canon 6D or Nikon 7100 has a 1.6X crop factor).

From SD990 Users Manual (p 100):'You can use the digital zoom, but the optical zoom cannot be used. If you want to shoot at the maximum magnification, you should adjust the zoom to the maximal factor before shooting. The sound from the zoom will be recorded'So really, it is just like many other cheaper P&S; cameras, you can only use digitial zoom in movie mode. Digital zoom will degrade image quality considerably.Here is the link to the manual: http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/0300001398/PSSD990IS_IXUS980IS_CUG_EN.pdf

The digital camera is software driven from a computer attached by a USB cable. The software has a zoom function that varies the magnification greatly. I don't know the maximum magnification possible with the camera.

No the camera doesn´t have ZOOM, I download software camera zoom fx and with this software the camera has zoom.
