ELPH135 help

Will a USB cord be able to charge the camera? The USB cord from my GPS is able to transfer photo into my computer, but can it also charge the camera?

How do I disable the digital zoom function? I notice the digital zoom starts to kick in once I go over 8x, it's getting annoying because I have to keep looking back to the zoom value to make sure I don't go over 8x.

Is there a forum or section on this forum devoted entirely to this ELPH135?
