The zoom function on my camera no longer works. What setting would have done this?

Maybe be just a software glitch. Try resetting the device by removing the battery for 30 seconds and replacing it. The device will reboot in 1-3 minutes. Afterwards try using the zoom on the camera.

Lost the Trackball Camera Zoom Function

Hole everyone,
I recently did an upgrade on to my phone, which caused the Lost of the Trackball Camera Zoom Function. I was wondering how do I get it back??
I have to manually zoom similar to how my old bb used to do by goin back n forth in the menu to click zoom in / zoom out. It was so much easier when the scroll bar was there and all you have to do is scroll up and down.
Plz can anyone tell me how to get this back or if I have to upload an app to put it back
Plz n Thank you

Hey FieryT,
Does the trackball still work? Or it just doesn't work when the Camera app is launched?
If it works everywhere else, just not within the Camera, I would suggest a clean reload of the device software.
Be sure to back up your device prior to the reload as all data will be wiped clean.
Article KB11320 will show you how to do the clean reload.
After the load completes, test the zoom on the camera before restoring any information.
It is recommended to selectively restore data. KB10339 will walk you through this process.
Thanks and have a great day!

Camera Zoom Function No Longer Works

Model 8310. This function worked for the first few times I used the camera (via trackball and upper right side buttons), but no longer works. Is there something disabled that I need to enable? Manual no help. Thanks.

Hello,
I think you can try two things : the soft reboot, and if it does not work, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can't lose data with these two reboots.
Soft reboot :
1) Hit the three following keys at the same time :
- Alt
- Left Shift
- Delete
2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.
Hard reboot :
1) your Blackberry device is on
2) remove the battery and wait for a minute
3) Put the battery back
4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.
Please tell us if it works for you.

Lost zoom function

Since I upgraded my IP4 the camera zoom function no longer is available. Any suggestions?

Yep. Select the contact in your contacts app, hit "Edit", hit "add photo"...you can then either take a photo or choose one...if in your Photos App, hit choose...select the photo...arrange & scale...hit done. These photos(assigned directly on your phone) will appear full-size when the contact calls. Photos assigned on your computer will appear as thumbnails.

Does the camera have a focus or zoom function

does the camera have a focus function or zoom function?

The camera on iPad was really designed for Facetime conversations. Keep in mind the rear facing camera is 2.3 Megapixel and the front facing camera is .7 magapixel. Neither are even close to real camera standards.

Zoom function for camera on 8300 has stopped working

For some reason the zoom function for the camera on my 8300 is not working. Rolling the trackball up or down does not change the magnification. Everything else seems fine. Any ideas as to what might have be wrong?
Solved!

Hi and welcome to the forums!
This has worked for several users.
Remove the battery and press down on the camera lens, you may feel a click.
Put the battery pack in and see if the lens was just stuck.
If it still doesn't work, I would contact the carrier and get another device.
Thanks,

Video camera zoom

Is there a zoom function on the video camera? I can find it for the still camera but not for the video.

yes if you have an OS that is at least 4.5.
to know the OS version on your device :
home screen >> options >> about.
I have 4.2.2.175 for instance.
if you want to, you can upgrade your OS by clicking on the "SOFTWARE" button on top of this page, then on the left 'BlackBerry device software'.

We have a Canon SX40Hs and cannot activate the digital zoom function. can you help?Thanks

We have a Canon SX40Hs and cannot activate the digital zoom function. I have tried changing the mode from Auto to "P" to "Tv" etc and the dig zoom function is greyed out and not accessible. Any help?
Thanks

Actually, this is a friend's camera, but yes, I went to the menu and when I got to the digital zoom option, it is greyed out (not accessible). That is the problem. I shoot in the EOS line so figured maybe there was a custom function somewhere that was causing the problem, but Power shot line apparentley doesn't have custom functions. Thought maybe digital zoom is only availabel in certain modes (pernaps not available in "green square"), but changing mode didn't seem to make it accessible either. I am just not familiar with the powershot cameras so ... any other suggestions?

Camera Zoom stopped working - trackball does nothing. Very strange fault.

I just came to take a photo using my Curve 8900 still shot camera feature.
Normally moving the trackball towards 12 o clock position zooms the shot in slightly
and moving it to the 6 oclock position zooms back out to 1:00x
But today I noticed it doesn't work at all. The trackball functions perfectly for scrolling up and down menu lists.
Also it works properly in all directions when zooming an existing photo.
It's just that the zoom function when aiming a shot to take the picture has just ceased to function.
Makes no difference what resolution it's set to. I have mine set to Superfine and 2048 x 1536 pixels and Flash and White Balance both set to Automatic. I can't even make a key press substitute for zoom such as Z as that doesn't bring the function back.
Can the trackball stop working in the camera but be working in all other applications?
I'm mystified by this one.
Hope someone knows what's happening here.

Dear Plado (That's me!)
Have you tried switching the phone off and back on again as in a Reboot?
Yes I have tried that but it made no difference.
OK have you tried turning off and taking the battery out and doing a cold boot?
No but I will do and see if it makes any difference!
Did it work ?
Yes it did, and the zoom is now back working again and shows a zoom level from 1.0 to 2.0 in .25x increments.
Well I never ! Who'd have thought it?
I'm still none the wiser as to why it needed a cold boot or why it got stuck without prompting from me.
It's just one of those things. A sort of a blob, with eyeballs that throb, just one of those things !
So thanks to anyone who felt like replying to this, the problem is solved but I'd still like to know why it stopped working.

No zoom function available on Iphoto '11

Is there anybody who can explain why there is no zoom function on Iphoto '11, except in the edit mode. Iphoto '09 has the zoom function so why not the latest version?

This is a serious problem for iPhoto 11. It was actually a downgrade from the previous version. The solution is to switch your photo files over to Aperture and abandon iPhoto. Aperture has far more features than iPhoto and iPhoto used to have features that Aperture did not have, but that is now gone. There is now no reason to use iPhoto except that it was free with your mac. I had been using both Aperture for my camera pics and iPhoto for my downloaded pics, but no longer find iPhoto useful. Currently I am converting all my iPhoto libraries over to Aperture. I have many TB of iPhoto libraries.
Fortunately, Aperture can assimilate an iPhoto library with one click. Just go to the import pull down menu, navigate over to your iPhoto library and click. Aperture is awesome and not very expensive. The solution is to dump iPhoto.

How do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?

Hi,
Im creating an interactive digital magazine for our company which will go on the iPad, but also online for computers.
The iPad (.folio) has zoom functions, but on screen (.swf) the magazine is very static and peaple can't zoom and scroll (the zooming buttons function in InDesign doesn't work here).
So, how do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?
(I read older posts regarding this problem in CS5... It's not possible for me to purchase an additional product for that. I have Flash, if there is a tutorial on how to do it, that'd be helpful too)
Thanks for your help!
Best regards!

Although the help implies this should work, and I've seen it written in a book to do things this way, it's not how I do things:
var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(content_req1);
content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
Instead, try:
var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
content_ldr1.load(content_req1);

Camera zoom-out

Hi.
I'm using Motion 4 and I'm trying to achieve a camera zoom-out with some conditions. Here's a image to explain the size and the type of zoom I'm looking for. My background images have 3072x1536 pixels and my canvas in Motion is defined to be 1024x768 pixels.
As you can see by the picture, I want to scale my camera view but I only want to do it through the upper right diagonal so that my bottom left point stays at the same place.
I've already tried to change the camera between framing and viewpoint but If I got my layers appart in 3D space they all start to phase out because of the perspective. Considering a flat image on the background, how can I scale/zoom-out my camera to do the effect on the image?
Thank you!

Walk backwards, as there is no zoom in video mode. Either that, or look for an app that provides "video zoom".

How to switch off scroll and zoom functions of touchpad on Satellite L

Hi.
Can anyone tell me how to switch off the scroll and zoom functions for the Synaptics Touchpad v7.2 .
Can't seem to do it via the Control Panel.
Any suggestions.

Hi buddy,
> Can't seem to do it via the Control Panel.
You can only disable the virtual scrolling function if the touchpad driver is installed properly. The driver provides extended functions and allows you to disable/enable special features. If you dont have installed the touchpad driver download it on official Toshiba page:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
Then navigate to control panel as the previous user wrote for disabling the scroll function.
Can you find it now?
