Can the lense be adjusted by hand instead of using the zoom button

Yes zoom is handled on the lense itself. Though focus is the bigger concern. This camera will focus automatically, with a touch on the screen or you can also use a manual mode to focus as you would with an older camera. This allows for greater versatility, than "point and shoot" type cameras.

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.

This camera provides manual optical zoom; you will need to manually adjust the camera's lens at the time you install it. Underneath the camera you'll find 2 adjustment knobs, one for focus, one for zoom; you will need to twist both knobs to adjust the camera's lens from 2.8mm-12mm; by doing this, you can set up the camera's viewing angle from 40-115degrees and the viewing distance from 40-130feet

because the lens is a medium telephoto, no, and there is no zoom in or out feature I can find. extension cords are available to place the camera farther away.

No, unfortunately there is not. The ring on the lens adjusts the focal length only.

Yes there is a AE-L/AF-L button you can access with your thumb. It has two wheels to change you F-stop and shutter speeds too.

No, it does not have a manual zoom control. It does offer several settings for controlling zoom, including a unique feature called "soft zoom" to customize zoom movement so it does not seem so mechanical.

Yes you can adjust the aperture. F/2.8 is the max you can go and it can be constant as you zoom in and out. but you can lower it to say F/8 etc.

Yes you can but it's awkward and heavy. It's difficult to hold the camera/lens and adjust the focal range. I got one of those pistol grip camera handles with shutter release. Screw it into the lens bracket instead of bottom of the camera. This way you can hold the camera/lens and press the shutter button with one hand while using the other hand to steady the lens and adjust the focal range. Requires some practice but is workable.

I do not think so due to the lenses that I know do not have a "zoom motor"; only auto-focus motor. Except you are talking about "digital zoom" and not "optical zoom". Even if that is possible, you have to manually operate the optical zoom ring on your lenses.

YES!!! I would recommend the lense especially to have that option of zooming when you may not be able to get closer. With a fixed range you have to zoom with your feet. Its a really well rounded lense. IMHO

I am unaware of any manual focusing capability. It merely allows you to zoom in and out and it adjusts focus as necessary automatically.

Yes, the lens in this camera is incorporated in the body, you cant change it. I had this one a few years ago, and it takes very nice pictures, but after two years the zoom's motor broke, and fix it cost almost the same as a new camera. A friend had the exactly same problem.

yes you can- take auto focus off in settings and you can manually adjust to a point- the company I work for used it to make ID badge pictures though it is limited if you're trying to use it as a portable pocket digital camera.

There is a manual mode on the camera, as well as auto-focus. The zoom is done manually.

I disagree. The lens can be focused manually. It helps to activate the focusing aids. For example, peaking would help.

No. You can adjust many things manually - ISO. Exposure etc. the flash has two red eye reduction modes.
