Hey SandeeWig,
In my canon XSi, I use the live view for tricky focus shots, this is where you can zoom into the scene but not actually zooming in, so yes it make sense
In order to switch to live mode:
- You need to be working in the creative mode: A-Dep, M, AV, TV & P.
- Make sure you have the live view enabled from the setting menu.
- while you are compsing & focusing press the Set button & you will switch from view finder to the LCD live view option where you can find a small box which can be moved around.
- zoom in using the most upper right button, zoom in & more zoom in then back to normal zoom.
- Focus manually - so far i couldn't have the camera's auto focus working in that mode, but I'm so happy with the manual focus.
I hope this is what you meant by zooming in w/o actually zooming.
Good luck
