Mike,
What lens are you using? Some zoom lenses have "barrel distortion" at the
shortest focal length (sides of a square bulge out) and "pincushion distortion"
at the longest focal length (sides of a square curve in). If that's your
problem, it should minimize at the centre of the zoom range.
That's assuming you're digitizing from flat artwork. If you're trying to
digitize images from a monitor, you'll get the effect you describe with any
lens if the camera is too close to the screen.
