Having just bought this camera, partly because of its zoom capacity, I was surprised to see the range shown on the screen not stop at 40X but continue to 160X. I just took photos of trees in the distance at 40X, 80X and 160X, and they seemed to be eq...

Thank you again, John. That's helpful. My one remaining question: When the screen shows a photo that I have taken, can I fill the screen with that photo to see it better for evaluation? Also, if I can fill the screen with a photo, would I again use t...
