If you want to take a picture with a camera that has a zoom lens, there are a few things you need to know. Zoom lenses let you get a closer look at something by zooming in. However, sometimes it can be difficult to know where to zoom in. If you want to take a picture with a zoom lens, you need to zoom out.

Zooming Out on Your Canon Camera
If you want to take a really wide-angle shot, you can zoom out on your Canon camera. To do this, simply press the shutter button halfway to zoom in, then press it all the way to zoom out. You’ll then be able to take a really wide-angle shot.
Changing the Zoom Setting
Zooming in on a photo can make it seem larger or closer. Zooming out on a photo can make it seem smaller or farther away.
To zoom out on a canon camera, follow these steps:
1. Point the camera towards the subject you want to zoom in on.
- Press and hold the button down until the camera zooms out.
- Release the button to zoom back in.
Using the Optical Zoom
The optical zoom on a canon camera can be a great asset when you want to get a close-up or a wide shot without having to move closer to your subject or take more steps. Optical zoom allows you to enlarge the image either on the camera’s LCD screen or on the image sensor. It works by using a lens to magnify the original image from the sensor. The zoom range on a canon camera is 3x to 16x.
Using the Digital Zoom
When using a digital camera, it is possible to zoom out by using the digital zoom feature. To zoom out, press and hold the Zoom In button and use the left or right arrow buttons to move the lens around the perimeter of the screen. As you zoom out, the image will become progressively larger.
Adjusting the Zoom Ratio
If you want to zoom out on your Canon camera, you can do so by adjusting the zoom ratio. By default, the zoom ratio is set to 1.0, which means that the camera is using its optical zoom to magnify the image. You can change the zoom ratio to something higher (like 2.0) to magnify the image more, or to something lower (like 0.8) to reduce the magnification.
Conclusion
When you want to take a close-up of a subject, zoom in on the camera. But when you want to take a wider shot or want to capture the entire scene, you need to zoom out. To zoom out on a canon camera, press the button on the top of the camera and slide the zoom slider to the right.
