Which android application allow you to use the camera's optical zoom? I want to download an app that has more manual controls and hdr

I don't know. but I hope that you are having better luck with the camera than I. It is very slow. I press down on the shutter and nothing happens, then a half a second later it fires. not good.

No, the camera does not have zoom. Zooming in the app is not the same thing.

No you can't! You may be able to zoom in and out on pictures, but it does not work as a regular mouse

For Android, Tiny Cam (or TinyCam), free, has a paid version Tiny Cam Pro as well. I use the free version and you can see multiple cameras at the same time, then single select individual ones to set various controls. I tried a few different products including the Foscam app, went back to Tiny Cam.

There are a series of hand held mounts for the camera, but the camera doesn't zoom. I've used it as a hand held camera but there are applications that you may find limitations.

Nope- its a horrible camera. I had the same problem. The only way to zoom is move the camera itself.

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?

Missy,Please see: http://www.digitalsecrets.net/Sony/AdvancedKnow5-SZ.htmlIt's a bit complicated, but the simple version is that Sony's Smart Zoom tries to limit your digital zoom to a level that doesn't degrade the image quality significantly. Please note that this doesn't have anything to do with optical zoom. It's simply making sure that you don't over-do the digital zoom to the detriment of the image (which is easy to do with some cameras). I don't use digital zoom as I do that cropping in PhotoShop Elements (not too expensive) or Picasa (free).

Theoretically yes. I have an android box, that brought with Creative Labs webcam. However webcam has no zoom function, and I'm looking for software that would zoom my camera.

Yes, there is, when you install the camera they provide you with a link to the app.

Look up "canon chdk". It's a firmware that you load from your sd card. I'm getting optical zoom in my SD800IS, along with many other features, like shooting in raw, and control over shutter speed. For those cameras with aperture control (mine just has a NS filter), you can even adjust that.Still, I really like the looks of the SX1 coming out. I'm going to start saving for Christmas now.

You should be able to from the Google Play store, however, with a .3 mp front camera, I would expect the quality of your image to be poor.

There are apps to make them better than default android camera, afterfocus was 1, theres a $20 fish eye lens too better range and angles. Don't know, with both the pictures were ok, not an $800.00 camera ok, but a typical phone picture ok. Focussing is the most pain, must have the victim fit into the blue circle only then the face is clear lol.

Its an add on, has nothing to do with zooming, however, you can't zoom with the front camera

Not sure what format it records under, but the android app is KMEye and yes it supports PTZ but I haven't tested it as my cameras aren't equipped.

I think the Amazon info points out a zoom button, but check out the review on Engadget.com:http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/They have galleries of in-use photos.

In the default camera settings, not too good. Too bright and washed out. But with the update to Android 4.2.2, there are many more settings and features on the camera. You may be able to find settings that are pleasing to you. However, even with a 5 MP camera, tablet cameras will not give pictures as good as a dedicated camera or even a modern smart phone. It has a 4X digital zoom. As you zoom in quality suffers.
