I believe this camera does not have any digital zoom pre-picture. You can go and zoom in on the picture after you've taken it in the review menu by clicking the zoom button. Most of the newer cameras don't come with digital zoom, because it is pointless, and hurts your images immensely. It stretches the pixels in the image, causing a very blocky looking photo with low picture quality. Also, if you really want to digitally zoom a photo you can do it in a processing program such as photoshop.

Digital zoom is essentially like taking a sheet of paper to a xerox machine and blowing up the image to make it larger. But the larger you get, the fuzzier the edges, the more pronounced the errors. Digital zoom blows up the image. It makes the image pixelated, it increases camera shake, and it washes out the color.
Simply put, it's a marketing ploy to make customers think their camera is better than it actually is. One is much better off simply taking the picture at the max optical distance and then blow it up in a photo editor like Photoshop Elements.
Turn off the digital zoom in the menu settings. And if you can't, ignore the feature altogether. It's worthless.
