If you bought the same one I did, it would not zoom because the camera does not go through the optics of the binoculars,it is just a camera.

As far as I could determine, the camera in the binocular has a "fixed" lens and does not zoom at all. I returned mine due to the poor quality of the photos that the camera takes...would recommend you do the same.

I can not give you an answer to your question because neither my husband or myself have been able to figure it out. We have taken one or two pictures, but it was completely by accident. Also it seem the battery is always dead when we go to use the binocular. I am careful to turn it off, but that does not help. If I was going to rate this item, I would give it -0- stars. Sorry to be so negative about it.

I am not a camera expert by any means. MP designates picture quality and zoom has to do with bringing far away things closer. I rarely use this feature. Love the camera, it works for me.

Some how it works for my husband but it doesn't really work for me. How I get it to zoom is by tapping twice on the screen. Then to zoom back out is just the same just tap twice again and it will zoom back out.

It doesn't have optical zoom. You have to know where you want it because the only way you can adjust the image size is by moving the whole projector

There is no zoom on the camera. I move the camera either closer of farther from the object and adjust the focus on the camera. I have set the camera up on something ( books, a jar, etc. ) or put the camera all most on the object.

i am not sure i understand you, but the biggest lens are notfixed, you put in the case, and it's possible to set the focus, like a zoom at an old regular camera

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.

to me its just a fancy magnify glass. I use it to keep the bright sun light out and to see the image on the screen, it does not have any adjustments on it. As long as you cover the LCD screen it is in focus, and magnifed, providing the photo is in focus

I believe you have to zoom in every time. Kind of annoying when tying to get the shot of that bird that will be flying by

First, great camera, two issues. One it is a big zoom, like you said some times in the little LCD Pic are not sharp once you view on computer screen. Second and the reason I got rid of the camera because sometimes focus is really slow and it can and will take an out of focus pictures occasionally.

You may have to zoom out a bit. At wider angles it's like looking through a tunnel because your camera's lens is capturing the insides of the Raynox. Although that's an effect I've played with once in a while rather than remove the Raynox for a particular shot, the Raynox really comes into its own as you approach full zoom with your camera's lens.

I have a Nikon D700, had the same problem. The focus plane is too close. The only way I got mine to work is in combination with an Orion Shorty 2x Barlow. This forces a 2x multiplier when you may not want it, but it does focus with it attached along with the Universal camera mount. I am currently investigating just how much extension is added by using the Barlow and will be looking for an extension tube without magnification.

Zooming doesn't always work, it depends on what program you're in. Some will zoom in/out if you use your thumb and index finger. Others will do nothing.

Try adjusting the diopter adjustment on the viewfinder- likely was off. Should view and record in focus.

If you have a high zoom camera like the 10X S10, why not just zoom in to "crop" the photo in the first place? Or, crop off-line using your image management software? That is what I usually do because I like to save the original non-cropped image anyway. I think it is a matter of personal preference. I am considering getting an S-10, so I don't know if it handles LCD in-camera cropping per se.

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.

First extend it to full length, then adjust the focus. And you can only use it for distant objects. I don't have it now but I remember it do require some trial and error.
