Hi guys, got myself the SE K770i last week and when trying to take a picture today and zoom in, it wouldn't let me. When I push the zoom+ button in comes up on the screen 'Zoom not possible in this mode'

Does anyone know what it means? And if you can zoom in on pictures?

Thanks

hey scot
you have to lower your resolution say 1mp/vga to be able to zoom:)

This is because there is only a digital zoom available, i.e. the "zooming" consists of cropping the image and use only a smaller frame in the middle of the camera sensor. IMHO, it's better to use the highest resolution in the camera, and then transfer the picture to your computer and crop it there in a suitable image processing program.

Face the facts, Sony Ericsson would rather have you spend more money on one of there products if you really want to zoom in on the largest picture setting.
