I have had th SS550 for almost a year and a half now, and I must confess I have not taken the time to really learn the camera. For my needs, point, click download to pc then I am done. Recently though, the zoom feature has stopped workng. (for those of you familiar, right where you click to take a picture there is the manual zoom lever and the camera has a built in digital zoom. When i move the manual lever the zoom does not respond? Digital zoom is turned on but does not work neither. Is there a setting in the camera that turns off the manual zoom as there is for the digital zoom in the menu functions? Or is this repair time? :( On another note, i can't turn on Date Stamp, the option is greyed out to even hilight the option. Related? I have tried resetting the camera to default, Have actually read the manual, an Canon's website has been not help.
Digital Zoom is best ignored in any camera it simply blows up a section of an image already taken, You can do that far better with an image editor in the computer. As for the Optical Zoom - it does indeed seem to be repair time- As it is only a year and half old- may be Canin will be sympathetic and offer a cheap swap out.
