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.

Newer Panasonics like the TZ5 will zoom slowly in video, owing to new quieter zoom motors.

It's "CoolPix L110" btw. From the User Manual, page 73, under "Recording Movies" - number 3, 4th bullet: "Digital Zoom cannot be used while recording movies. If digital Zoom is used before recording, it will be cancelled when recording starts." Optical zoom works fine, though :D

Yes. Not only can you use the zoom you can also take pictires while you are recording a movie. You can also capture individual frames from the movie afterward.

M. Lau is incorrect; The S6 certainly does zoom while in movie mode. I can send you a sample video if you're interested.

very interesting. i've had my TZ5 for a couple of yrs, and used the digital zoom frequently, always in Normal mode, (I know it won't work in iA mode.) Recently, it refuses to work in normal mode-- stays grayed out, even with 3 mp manually set. However, in Scene 1 mode I am able to use digital zoom, just like before, (combined with optical and ez-zoom, giving me a total of 67.5X). I don't understand the change. Any ideas? Firmware update?

Hi there Chris - Yes there are two recording modes - voice-activated and continuous recording. With the continuous recording mode it will record sound and video. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

wrong......there is option for zoom in movie mode but it is the digital zoom so not as sharp but it does work.

Yes. You can zoom, but you can't adjust the zoom once you've started recording.

There's a "+" on the camera just above the record button. Hold it down BEFORE you turn the camera on. The plus also increases the volume or zoom.

You can, however, zoom in and out BEFORE you begin recording.... you just can't do it WHILE you're recording. So if you want to record something zoomed in 5x, just be sure you zoom in before you begin recording.

This camera does do video...pretty well too. But, at VGA resolution it is only good for Youtube, and will not look very good if you try to view it on TV. Step up to the SZ-16 model if you want full HD video, and super zoom at a great price...otherwise recognize this camera for what it is...an awesome pocket camera for everyday or traveling when the cost is not a great tragedy if it is lost or stolen.

I will check again, but mine would not zoom in or it when trying to shoot video!!!!

Except for I bought this model and mine records audio and video together. It's an option in your video recording menu to allow audio & video to record together. Only allowing video, however, allows for much more recording space

Thanks again david.I remember reading some of the flash based camcorders record on .MOD files, which are somewhat hard to work with.This will be my first camcorder purchase in a long while (my last was a sony digital-8...), so your advice is well needed and appreciated.

I think this is a timly update from panasonic now, I have FZ28 its a nice camera, with these few addons i am sure FZ-35 will be a best seller, recording in Stereo with MP4 for small size was desperately needed. when you buy, dont forget to buy 8Gb Class-6 memory card with a Tripod and Camera Case. these are must have., enjoy

Hello! It does have a zoom mode with the software it comes with. However, it only zooms in "Video" mode and not "Picture" mode. Enjoy!
