Can you zoom in and out on this lens? I film in a small room so if it is super zoomed in that would not work.

No. This lens is a fixed focal length and you can only adjust the aperture and focus.

Hi. The lens is a 30mm prime, wich means 30mm is its only focal length, there's no zooming.

No, this lens is fixed at a focal length of 30mm. If you're in a small room on a crop camera, you're going to want something wider, and if you want to be able to zoom, you're looking at the sigma 10-20, the sigma 18-35, the canon 18-55, or the canon 15-85. Look into those lenses.

It does not zoom. It's fixed at 25mm, which is equivalent to 50mm in 35mm lens terms. At that focal length, it's a perfect all around lens - street shooting, medium portraiture, it can do it all. Quite sharp, I think. Like it a lot.

Actually, yes you can zoom while shooting video. I just purchased this camera and it zoomed in and out for me while recording. The previous answer is not correct.

sorry Elaine but you can't zoom in or out. If you click on options video capture filter (c) Then camera control it's there but it wont let you use the funtion I don't know why it's a fix setting .

wow... you're using the 75-300 and need more zoom? First try cropping your pictures and see if you can still get decent results... otherwise you're going to have to get better lenses which aren't going to be cheap.

You could mount it on a base for pan and tilt, but no zoom. The lens is fixed.

No, this lens does not zoom. It is amazing but you might want to look at the Panasonic 35-100mm 2.8 lens.

This lens does not zoom in, it is a fixed focal length. You can get pretty close to your subject with this lens but it's not adjustable.

Yes, you can zoom in when recording video. But you do have to turn off the microphone in setting or it won't work.

Thanks for the info Corey! I agree that zooming during recording can get a bit nauseating if done too much/too fast but it is a nice feature to have in certain instances. At least the zoom works before/after like it does on my old 3.2MP Cyber-shot. Thanks for clearing that up.

it will not stay on focus ring- so I guess it for zoom only. Good question- if people can get it to stay on the focus ring they must have a wide ring. wont stay on any my canon lenses.

Sorry for the delay as i was out of town. I just tried it out and yes you can zoom in recording mode.

this lens does not have an adjustable zoom. What u c is what u get. Better 4 still shots. Focusing is another issue. on a moving subject u would want to use A I Servo mode while holding shutter button 1/2 way down then fully down to snap pic. Im not fully exper with this lens but i believe it would b difficult to to obtain non blurry pic if not exper'd. With practice I SUPPOSE ONE COULD MAKE IT WORK. Just my opion

There is no zoom or pan. You can move the camera manually if you wish to view a different area of the room but pretty much where you have it set is where it stays.

Hi Erica- I like this camera a lot. I mostly usethe camera for shootingthe interior of rooms. The wide feature of the lense is excelent, I have not used the zoom to shoot distance.

This zoom is a difficult one to use. Set to M, then you have to go into light settings on your menu....you have to experiment with the different shuttering by dialing thru the light exposure settings, shutter speed settings, and focusing adjustments. It is a real trial and error, but after a while the settings will begin to fall into place according to your style cameras.

No, it doesn't control zoom lens. What they are indicating is that you can zoom in on the photo or live view.
