Zoom level values #623

Open A5tanA opened 9 months ago

A5tanA commented 9 months ago

Hello, I have a canon powershot SX740HA. I would like to know where can i find a relation between the alowable zoom values (0-127) and the zoom level at which the camera sets. For example, if i follow a linear relation, it doesn't work fine. So i wanted to know if they are tabled somewere else or if it is possible to know at least in 5x zoom steps. Thanks in advance

I am not aware of such a table currently. I also do not have a camera for cross checking. perhaps someone else has

Ok, no problem. I had found hints of those tables existing on this link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Computing/2010_November_8) but I didn't find any. In the end, I will probably opt for trying some values of zoom and registering where the zoom bar will set, hoping that at least that one follows a linear relationship with the zoom multiplier. Thank you for the answer anyway!
