Canon PowerShot SX540 HS Manual

74

The focal length of the lens can be increased by approximately 1.6x or 

2.0x. This can reduce camera shake because the shutter speed is faster 

than it would be if you zoomed (including using digital zoom) in to the 

same zoom factor.

 

●

Press the [

] button, choose 

[Digital Zoom] on the [ ] tab, and then 

choose the desired option (= 29).

 

●

The view is enlarged and the zoom factor 

is displayed on the screen.

 

●

The digital tele-converter cannot be used with digital zoom 
(= 38) or AF-point zoom (= 52).

 

●

The shutter speed may be equivalent when you move the zoom 
lever all the way toward [

] for maximum telephoto, and when 

you zoom in to enlarge the subject to the same size following step 
2 in “Zooming In Closer on Subjects (Digital Zoom)” (= 38).

 

●

When you focus manually, the AF frame mode (= 75) is locked 
to [Center] and AF frame size is locked to [Normal].

 

●

Focusing is possible when using the digital zoom (= 38) or 
digital tele-converter (= 74), or when using a TV as a display 
(= 148), but the magnified display will not appear.

 

●

To focus more accurately, try attaching the camera to a tripod to 
stabilize it.

 

●

To hide the magnified display area, choose MENU (= 29) > 
[

] tab > [MF-Point Zoom] > [Off].

 

●

To deactivate automatic focus fine-tuning when the shutter button 
is pressed halfway, choose MENU (= 29) > [

] tab > [Safety 

MF] > [Off].

Edges of subjects in focus are displayed in color to make manual focusing 

easier. You can adjust the colors and the sensitivity (level) of edge 

detection as needed.

 

●

Press the [

] button, choose [MF 

Peaking Settings] on the [ ] tab, and 

 

●

Choose a menu item to configure, and 

 

●

Colors displayed for MF Peaking are not recorded in your shots.
