Were on the digital zoom or the teleconverter? If you try the 1.5x (pg 132 of the user manual), you'll have a little more leeway with light so can use faster shutter speed. The 2x choice is hard to control hand-held.
Sorry if we've already discussed this by PM; I can't remember which conversations I've had with whom!

Linda, I'm on page 132 and when i go into that menu on my camera the only options for Digital Zoom are 'Standard' and 'off' I don't get the option as it appears in the manual.

Thanks Linda
I was alone in the woods and thought i heard a deer. I just kept still against a tree looking for movement. In a few minutes I saw a big bird land in the tree canopy and zoomed in to see it was an owl. I took a dozen shots but when i moved to try to get an open shot with no leaves, he left.
I believe this is a "Barred Owl".

I was hunting mushrooms and found him in the tree. He was pretty high up there. Taken with Canon SX50 full zoom.

best answer I could find but I'm still unsure what the camera is doing.
Using the digital tele-converter
With the [Digital Tele-Converter] setting, the focal length of the lens can be increased by a factor equivalent to 1.5x or 2.0x. This makes it possible to increase the magnification without compromising the brightness of the lens even more than increasing the magnification to the same rate in ordinary zoom operations (including digital zoom), enabling you to shoot with a faster shutter speed, thereby minimizing camera shake and subject blurring.

Took this today with my new Canon PowerShot SX50 HS. I'm really struggling with the menus and focusing.

Thanks for the replies. I had both printed at a kiosk at Walgreens and took them to work. Most like second one, but I like the first more. I was very happy with the 5x7s i had printed there.

I've been a lurker here for over a year and I really enjoy the information shared here. So I purchased the nikon 18-300 for my D3100 and picked it up at the post office and was driving home and saw this heron along the river when the ice was going out about a month ago. So this is the first shot with my new lens, fresh out of the box.
just taking off
