How do I zoom if there is no focusing ring on the lens?

This is a fixed focal length lens. Often called a "Prime" lens. The only way to zoom with this lens is to move closer or farther away. You probably have a 10-30 zoom lens with your Nikon 1 series camera? This lens is about halfway between those settings. If you want a zoom, stick with your kit lens. This lens is sharper, and admits much more light. It's the equivalent of a 50mm lens on a 35mm camera.

There are set screw on the camera that have to be adjusted manual. For focus and zoom

What Barry said. Ring spins infinitely however, so it's less than ideal for manual focus.

There should be a switch on the cord with an on/off button. Or try turning the lens.

Non electrical, requires manual focusing and aperture control (aperture ring), also view finder gets darker

No, there is no means to fix the lens to a specific focal length. The total length of zoom ring travel is just shy of 90 degrees, end to end. The demarcation on the zoom ring, L to R as seen looking down at it as if it were attached to the body, is 24 - 20 - 18 - 16 - 15 - 14. The only hard control is the Manual/Auto autofocus switch.

It depends on the focal length of your lens and it's speed (I mean open aperture value). Try to set the zoom lens at 90 mm approximately.

The zooming mechanism is internal, responding to a zoom ring located just inboard of the manual focusing ring. The lens remains the same length no matter the value of the zoom.

Yes, you would just need to put a geared strap on the zoom ring and line up the follow focus cog to zoom instead of focus.

No, there's a tele zoom in it's accesories buy I don't recommend it, if you want to play with lenses buy a DSLR, they're pricier but it's worth it.

You can also get a cheap old manual focus lens (AI or AI-S) and you'll be able to adjust the aperture with the ring on the lens.

No. This is a solid lens, but you will need to use a tripod for low light, and a higher shutter speed if you are hand holding while zooming.

You adjust to focus (turn lens). Zoom only via phone and tap first to get best focus.

There are 2 adjustment screws on the bottom side of the camera right beneath the lens (one for zoom, one for focus); you'll need to manually twist both screws to adjust the camera's zoom
