Just a question. Is the magnification fixed at 12x or can you zoom in and out?

It is a fixed zoom at 12x. The lens is very clear and is well supported in the case. As an example of the power of the zoom: I was at an NBA game a month ago and brought the zoom. Without the zoom, you could barely see people on the court the were so tiny and I was down pretty low in a corporate suite. But with the zoom, you could get a tight shot of 1/3 of the court with all of the action. The lens on the phone is sooo wide angle that it makes anything in the distance seem MUCH farther away than it really is. I gave up a standalone camera now; I exclusively use my camera on the phone. The zoom won't work for everything, but when you can use it you will be VERY glad you had it--especially for the price.

No, and the focus will not change either. The focus issue is an even bigger problem than the lack of zoom.

We didn't save the box it was shipped in, but in my review I stated the magnification was 3x. I probably got that number from the specs on the side of the box when we got it. Mom has used it every day since it arrived and loves it. To be certain about the magnification, you should probably confirm it with the manufacturer.

It has a max of 24x zoom and is clear all the way. More than enough for any air rifle. I had it on my AirForce Condor as well as my Remington 700. Its a great scope.

There is a indentation about mid way through the device. You'll see a series of parallel vertical striations of sorts moving from left To right. That is your magnification knob. It's really my only complaint about the device. It should've been a digital zoom.

Yes, this is a fixed lens! So you cannot zoom in and out. But it is a beautiful one!! Best I have made portaits with!!!

It can zoom up to 32x however with the "active steady shot enabled" you can only zoom 27x which I find is more then I ever need to zoom. To give you an idea you can read a bus sign across a park from over 100 yards away

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.

The image at 1000x is dark and fuzzy. It does go that far but image quality is not that great, but for me, as a mere hobby, it is acceptable. It works best at the lower magnifications. It is still a very good scope for the money.

To be honest, mine Works really nice even at 125X. About clarity in my opinin at 100x is the average. Please just learn how to use them porperly. Ive had very good moments with my binoculars for around 2 years.

It's a 4x so it's fixed. There is a part of the eye piece that does adjust but I think that's more for eye relief

No magnification and its slightly smaller than an iPad. Hope that helps. I really like it .

there is a digital zoom button you can push to zoom in, i think it's like 4x power or so. the quality goes down really far when you zoom in to the point where it's not worth using, very pixelated.

4x, which is a little bit of magnification. The zoom is not an adjustable amount by the way.

I would like a viewfinder too. I suspect it may be difficult to do one well on a 12x zoom. Viewfinders are a little inaccurate even on 4x zooms. So, it may be that the cost would be prohibitive.

I don't know the magnification, I looked on the web-site, and it wasn't there. I bought it for my husband to read maps, his globe, and other things. He says it is good for that, plenty strong. I looked through it at some very small print, with my glasses off and I could make it out. It's a very nice gift, or for yourself...

No, magnification is fixed. However it is optimally set for makeup, and does not over-magnify your face.
