What happens when you digitally zoom with this lens on?

The one that I have leaves a black ring on the outer edges of the picture. It is something inside of the telescopic lens that has the defect. However, I did only pay $12 for it and you get what you pay for.

The idea of purchase a óptical zoom lens is not use never the digital zoom for have berree images. After pf I purchase this lens, not use never digital zoom

Yes. Just like most macro lens extentions there is a fish eye effect. Zooming in will bring it down some but the lens is curved to create the effect so it will take digital altering in the end for a non-warped image.

Missy,Please see: http://www.digitalsecrets.net/Sony/AdvancedKnow5-SZ.htmlIt's a bit complicated, but the simple version is that Sony's Smart Zoom tries to limit your digital zoom to a level that doesn't degrade the image quality significantly. Please note that this doesn't have anything to do with optical zoom. It's simply making sure that you don't over-do the digital zoom to the detriment of the image (which is easy to do with some cameras). I don't use digital zoom as I do that cropping in PhotoShop Elements (not too expensive) or Picasa (free).

To turn off the digital zoom, press the MENU button, choose the picture of the "CAMERA" tab, and choose [Digital Zoom] and the [Off] option. You have to use the the buttons on the wheel lightning or macro side to scroll through the options.

If you mean Zoom the lense YES. If you mean remove the lens and swap it out for anothe lens NO. I reaaly don't know by Move the lense.

No, it is a fixed lens. However in the GOPRO software for your computers, you can digitally zoom there.

I do not think so due to the lenses that I know do not have a "zoom motor"; only auto-focus motor. Except you are talking about "digital zoom" and not "optical zoom". Even if that is possible, you have to manually operate the optical zoom ring on your lenses.

Does the lens make a noise when it auto focuses or zooms? I make YouTube videos and if my camera zooms in the middle of me talking in a video that would just be distracting and awkward. :/

Mine did the same thing but pretty much all the way thru the zoom function. I sent it back and ordered the HS50EXR glad I did, zooming is real smooth, focus is faster ect. Well worth the extra cost.

The camera does provide 2X digital zoom according to my google search. I personally don't/wouldn't use a digital zoom as you will lose detail. Digital zooming does not increase the amount of detail captured, only increases the size of the pixels. It does pretty much what you would accomplish if you were to hold a magnifying glass to your monitor. The better way to achieve a "digital zoom" is through cropping after the fact in the software you use to adjust your photos. It accomplishes the exact same thing with the exact same loss of quality as the digital zoom yet allows you to have better control over the portion of the image you wish to "zoom" or crop.

I could not find a way to use it.It did work very well with the non-zoom lens setting.I did have to remove the camera strap when I used this & use a strap on the housing.I hope that this answers your questions, I'm glad that I bought it.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "digital zoom"?. With the 14 - 42mm X lens with electronic zoom I can use "manual focus". I have not tried other auto lenses which have the manual zoom ring in addition to the electronic zoom.

The lenses are manual zoom, so you turn the ring on the lens itself. If you have a prime lens, like the 30mm, there is no zoom.

The zoom is totally manual...you control it manually. I think your question is: does the lens keep the subject in focus as yous change the zoom focal length? Yes it does.

No, you have to preset the zoom before going down. Other then that, definitely use flash attachment.

Mine doesn't work as a zoom. What you're calling a zoom lever actually adjusts other things like the size of the auto focus or the ISO or brightness. At least on my camera, I use the largest ring on the lens to zoom. Hope that helps.
