But I honestly don't know why you aren't able to turn it off. Turning the dial to the left while the M Zoom is flashing after hitting the Zoom button should allow you to turn off M Zoom, and just have auto Zoom (which would be indicated by the M disappearing, just leaving Zoom).

Best of luck.
Thank you so much. Everything you are saying makes sense and mirrors what the book says (even though this topic is only covered by two tiny little paragraphs.) In the meantime, I looked on-line and Canon's website has become more helpful. I will e-mail them this weekend and ask because I simply cannot get that stupid M to turn off. - regardless what the exposure is, I need to know how to turn it off.

have a great weekend and thank you very much for your help..
