I have a Canon M50 Mark II. The camera has digital zoom for movie/video mode, but this feature doesn’t seem to be available for still pictures. Am I missing something? Is digital zoom available to take still pictures on this camera? I know that I can use the live view screen to zoom in on still pictures to help focus, but when the picture is taken it is shot only using the optical zoom on my lens. It seems odd that the Canon M50 II would have digital zoom just for movies. The same technology should allow for the zoom to work on still pictures too, right?
I know that the digital zoom is just cropping the image and that there is a reduction in IQ, but I’d still find it useful in some situations to take still pictures using the digital zoom. And maybe it’s my imagination, but it seems that the digitally zoomed image on the live view screen seems sharper on distance subjects than when I take the actual picture and crop it.
