    Zooming In Closer on Subjects (Digital Zoom)
    When distant subjects are too far away to enlarge using optical zoom, 
    use digital zoom for up to about 40x (ELPH 150 IS IXUS 155) or 32x (ELPH 140 IS IXUS 150 ELPH 135 IXUS 145) enlargement.
    1 Move the zoom lever toward 
    .
    zzHold the lever until zooming stops.
    zzZooming stops at the largest possible 
    zoom factor (before the image becomes 
    noticeably grainy), which is then indicated 
    on the screen.
    2 Move the zoom lever toward 
     again.
    zzThe camera zooms in even closer on the 
    subject.
    Zoom Factor
    •	Moving the zoom lever will display the zoom bar (which indicates 
    the zoom position). The color of the zoom bar will change depending 
    on the zoom range.
    -
     White range: optical zoom range where the image will not appear 
    grainy.
    -
     Yellow range: digital zoom range where the image is not noticeably 
    grainy (ZoomPlus).
    -
     Blue range: digital zoom range where the image will appear grainy.
    Because the blue range will not be available at some resolution 
    settings (=
      36), the maximum zoom factor can be achieved by 
    following step 1.
    •	 Zoomed images may look grainy under some resolution settings 
    (=
      36) and zoom factors. In this case, the zoom factor is shown 
    in blue.
