I LOVE the zoom, it's the reason I bought the camera, The only problem is, when I zoom to the maximum, it's difficult to hold the camera steady. Should I be looking at a better camera with exchangeable lenses?</P><P>The other question I have is: we were recently on an Alaskan cruise and we got to see the Northern lights. We couldn't see the lights with our eyes but when I took a picture with the camera on my cellphone we could see it. When I took a picture with my&nbsp;SX540 there was just the night sky, as we see with our eyes. Why wouldn't my&nbsp;SX540 see the lights but the phone camera would, and what level camera do I need to be able to take pictures of the northern lights like my phone camera does?</P> Wed, 04 Sep 2024 13:03:04 GMT robert91 2024-09-04T13:03:04Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/PowerShot-SX540-HS-Trouble-Taking-Pictures-of-the-Northern/m-p/497687#M19104 <P>I have a&nbsp;SX540.
