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

Google it. It should be some where in your setting. I think its under accessibility or accessory for the option to turn on that feature.

To turn off the digital zoom, press the MENU button, choose the picture of the "CAMERA" tab, and choose [Digital Zoom] and the [Off] option. You have to use the the buttons on the wheel lightning or macro side to scroll through the options.

Sorry, I haven't tried that yet. On my old camera, if I remember correctly, it was instantly.

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.

The trick is to do it with the camera OFF: press the zoom button to the left and press the play button at the same time. Hold it for a second or two. This should bring up the firmware upgrade instructions on the camera's screen. Just did it on my new camera a minute ago, after being stuck for a while and downloading the firmware about five times.

You need software driver which assigns usage. However I can't find software driver on gearhead website. the little button on top that lights switches dpi

can set it by just touching the control before taking the picture and after taking a photo can use it again when reviewing a photo you have taken. For example, I used the zoom while taking photos at Worlds End, PA and when reviewing photos used it again on a photo I was looking at and discovered that were 3 actual people in a creek that I had no idea were there when taking the photo.........felt like a real paparazzi!!

I sent mine back to the company, I could not get it to work correctly. I just use the mouse and the cntr button and scroll up with the mouse, it zooms the page.

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

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 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.

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.

Hi Tabish, Once you press the zoom in, its using the optical zoom which is upto 30x. Once you reach 30x zoom, and Digital zoom is activated, it will now use the Digital zoom. You will notice a small horizontal line on the zoom icon which means that once you pass that line, Digital zoom is now in use. You can set your camcorder to use optical zoom only by turning of Digital zoom. -Vincent

You cannot. All you can do is half press the shutter button to force it to become ready for the next shot. There's no option to completely turn off the feature like the older Z cameras had.

I am not aware of the Zoom issue but most if not all of the 990i cameras to this point will need the update. The change has been made to the cameras and we need to get through the cameras that are out there yet. This firmware update is designed to correct video capture to utilize the full field of view of the sensor when in HD video mode. It also resolves the "clicking" issue from the IR filter moving after every capture at night. The filter will now correctly move twice per day: at day-to-night / night-to-day transitions.

So is that a "yes you can" or "no you cannot"? I cannot tell from the YouTube videos if they are using optical or digital zoom.
