Sorry for the delay as i was out of town. I just tried it out and yes you can zoom in recording mode.

I have tried and can't get it to zoom in and out during video recording. Hope this helps.

I wanted to do a followup to my original question about zooming while shooting a movie. This camera does not adjust the focus as you zoom in and out while filming. You must adjust your focus first, then shoot your movie at that adjustment. My Canon TX1 (I no longer have it) gave me very good quality HD movies with the ability to zoom in and out without recording the sound of the zoom and the adjustment as you zoomed reset beautifully --- I was spoiled by this camera.

My sister got just this, I was testing the features, it does zoom while in recording mode.

I believe you can. One reason I liked this camera was because it had so many options. You can find the manual online and check out specs. It is a great little camera but does not have wide screen. I also do not like that the view finder is on top. It makes it hard to see what you are filming if you have on high tripod. I recently bought the new zoom Q. 4 and was impressed with the sound and camera lens. The wide angle made it nice to get whole stage. I have some video examples of both on you tube I can send link.

Actually, yes you can zoom while shooting video. I just purchased this camera and it zoomed in and out for me while recording. The previous answer is not correct.

Unfortunately, form my experience there is no way around it during recording. However, this camera has built-in editing functionality. You can stitch the snippets together into one continuous piece. It's quite easy. Then there is also the video editing software included with the camera.

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!

I don't use the digital zoom and agree with the comment below that it's better to do that with a video editor... I use the Q2HD to record our bands live performances. Decent audio and video quality for the price... battery life is a little short if you don't have an outlet available for the DC adaptor.

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

Yes you can zoom in, even when taking video and the image still looks great. Have fun on your trip!

For the Video Secu variable zoom camera, no, You set the zoom and focus to the coverage you need, You would have to have a more expensive camera, near the $300 range that can be controlled via Pelco/RS422 signals.

Yes you can. If it is silent(what you are filming), you can slightly hear the lens zooming in and out. I just tried it at work!

Yes, the webcam control software which starts when the cam is on has the ability to zoom in.

Yes you can use the 4x optical zoom while shooting video. I just verified this with my camera in hand.
