Zoom in Movie Mode? I cant find where it is expressly stated that zoom is functional in movie mode, i believe the 6000 describes having this feature. Any info available?

You must set the zoom level before starting movie. A quick half push on the trigger button to pause & you can zoom in or out & full push to resume video. Great camera.

the projector does not have a zoom feature. you have to move the projector to make the image larger or smaller. I use mine hooked up to my ipad, and then I can zoom in or out asmuch as I need. if you hook it up to your computer you could also zoom it.

JHam88: Sorry for the delay! I only checked its function with still pictures. I like your question! I intend, in the next few days, to actually use the movie function with the remote. I would surmise that it will work, but sometimes we all get surprised when something logically should work but doesn't. So, my response to you is that I will actually try it in the next few days and will post for you through this question forum. I will retain the Amazon query and will get back to you. Thanks for piquing my interest. That is how we all learn isn't it? My Best and be back to you soon.. Bob

Does it still capture an image? even though it doesn't click? I usually toggle with the zoom or the iso. The AF may not be adjusting correctly as it does for the shutter to actually open. Is there a red display box(es) ? or the shooting mode may not be appropriate....

You can zoom in and out while recording movies. This is a function of the lens, alone and has no bearing on camera function. Thanks, Joe Virgil Product Specialist

it does allow zoom during video mode but as far as i've tried not for photo mode.

The zoom works extremely well. The zoom is configurable to zooom slow, normal, fast.. or even more detailed with a zoom speed of 1 to 15. The rocker switch is very easy to use...if you are hold it from the top or from the side...there is a rocker switch zoom there.. and both rockers are configurable. Very nice product for video..no to so good with photos. It does have a nice feature right next to the side zoom rocker to take photos as you are doing video... The pictures are ok but it was made to do video... Very nice quality video!

no its doesnt. you dont want it anyway. it ruins the video because you hear the zoom motor in the video. thats why they usually dont enable it in cameras.

Yes...... but is not designed for it On movie mode the zoom is not smooth and the auto focus is noisy. Good for pictures Great on a full sensor camera

it's because the zoom on the video mode fails on this camera after awhile,at least it did on mine.i took prolly 10 videos at concerts and noticed i was able to zoom while recording.then all of the sudden it didn't work anymore.u have to zoom in to where u want it now and can't adjust the zoom once u push record.

Isn't there a zoom ring on the top of the projector you can move left to right to increase & decrease the image size? I'd imagine it's next to the focus ring

I dont believe you can use digital zoom if you're in the AI (auto intelligence) mode...maybe that is why? Otherwise if you're in normal or any of the scene modes, you should be able to use it (and the menu will let you turn it on).

There are three pages of zoom instructions with illustrations, and here are the basic settings: No zoom > Stretch, Letterbox, Pillar Box > Full Screen > Under Scan > 1.2 > 1.3 > 1.5 > 2.0 > 1/2 > Back to 1:1 again. I like the fact that I can maintain the proper aspect ratio when playing older movies and TV programs from DVD. If there's X/Y scaling, I haven't found it but that doesn't mean it isn't there. I don't know where to look. :-)

No it does not, because of the Sound feature. The mic would pick up any zoom lens noise. You have to pre-set the zoom prior to shooting. these types of cameras should not be considered for movies except in a pinch.

Dear. I put my camera under automatic shot and all is ok. When I put in scene mode to film some movies it works great, the image is HD, the collors are great, the quality is very very good, the sound is perfect, but monaural, it has one microphone inside, near the button shot. Maybe your camera needs some audio configurations. One disadvantage is when you select scene movies you don´t have access to the ZOOM feature, you have to adjust zoom first. Good Luck

Sharon, by default, when you turn on the camera, the camera is already in a regular picture taking mode. However, when you use your finger to turn the zoom control slider switch which is directly below the shutter button, then the camera goes into the zoom (telephoto) feature. Just slide this zoom control switch all the way to the left for regular picture taking. Anyhow, go to the Panasonic support web site and download the instructions manual. Also, in the camera menu setup features, there is a option for turning off digital zoom. I think that is what you mean (?????). Sharon, please take the time to read and really play (experiment) with all the camera features. I plan on selling this model because the images are not up to my standards. Instead, I just purchased the Sony HX200V and the images are way better than the Panasonic FZ60K. Chuck
