PS SX40 Hs Question!

I haven't used the camera in a while and have forgot how to use it. I use to be able to take pics of the moon way up and make it look like I was standing beside it... but now it's not getting that close anymore. Anyone help me out as to how to get that deep zoom?

Make sure digital zoom is not turned off. If it's off, you are limited to the camera's optical zoom; digital zoom takes it much further. It one of the settings in the menu.
