Olympus E-PL1 question

[al_pacino]

The Oly PL1 has digital zoom capabilities? I mean, if I use it with a prime lens, can I zoom (digital zoom of course) directly from my camera?

 

[woof woof]

I don't know...

Digital zoom is just cropping so you are probably better off doing that on a pc anyway as the screen is much bigger and you'll be better able to see what you're doing.

 

[al_pacino]

Yeah, but it takes more time... The digital zoom would be usefull for me from this point of view...

 

[al_pacino]

So, anyone knows it? Can I zoom (digital zoom), with an Olympus E-PL1, if I have a prime, fixed lens, attached?

 

[Willo]

No you can't. For a start there is no zoom function on the camera only lens.

Zoom with your feet.

That's the way.

There is a Live View zoom function which you use when focusing manual focus lenses, but that's all.

Zoom with your feet.

That's the way.

This. You want to sacrifice the great image quality you get with (most) primes, and ruin it with digital zoom?

 

[AJQS]

Get a bigger prime?

 

[al_pacino]

I'll just zoom with my feet. That's for a healthier life, I think...

Good old boy

Zooming with your feet is better for honing your photography skills anyway.
