I think I can answer your "zooming-in" question briefly without it needing to go to a whole new thread.

You don't cut off part of the image, you stand further back when you use the zoom on your lens, so you still get the whole painting (along with part of the easel, wall, etc.)

Ever seen a "fish-eye-lens" photo in a magazine, or a shot taken with a really wide angle lens? That is an extreme version of what most point-and-shoot camera lenses do when the zoom setting is not used. The un-zoomed setting is a wide angle setting. It bulges out everything around the edges of the shot.

To eliminate that effect zoom in a few notches on your camera. (You may want to read the camera manual. Zoom in until it is between a 50mm to 100mm setting on your lens.) Stand far enough back that you can still see the whole painting in your viewfinder and click away!
