I've read where users say this cam has a zoom, but manufacturer says nothing about zoom; only about pre-set focus. Can one actually zoom in?

There is a digital zoom but no optical zoom. Meaning, if you zoom in you loose quality--you loose resolution. This is not a problem if you record video at a higher rate than you are publishing.

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!

No there is no zoom, you can set the resolution for 1600x1200, 1280x960, 640x480, 320x240 and 160x120. It has a self timer, flash, brightness control, white balance, color effects and multishots and also night mode. I hope this helps you some, if you have any more questions please feel free to ask!

Did you try zooming in? Cause that's really all you can do. These cameras are not the top of the line I am going to add one that can do what your asking but it's about 300.00 ouch

The zoom is on the camera itself, I don't think it can be controlled from your DVR. You have to set the camera up to the zoom you want when placing it, the focus is also set on the camera, not DVR

No, there's a tele zoom in it's accesories buy I don't recommend it, if you want to play with lenses buy a DSLR, they're pricier but it's worth it.

This is not a vari-focal camera. It will not zoom in. Excellent camera for what it was constructed for w/ a wide viewing angle.

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

can set it by just touching the control before taking the picture and after taking a photo can use it again when reviewing a photo you have taken. For example, I used the zoom while taking photos at Worlds End, PA and when reviewing photos used it again on a photo I was looking at and discovered that were 3 actual people in a creek that I had no idea were there when taking the photo.........felt like a real paparazzi!!

..this camera has very nice Zoom, i use it at work all the time.. as with any cam or scope the longer the focal length the smaller the field of view, and, the harder it is to keep the subject in that FOV.. btw this cam also does Macro images very well, for a point and shoot cam im happy with it.. the Android OS just makes it that much better..

Yes you can zoom while shooting videos. I'm not a professional but this is the best camera for zoom and has a sports feature that makes awesome photos! I can't brag on it enough. Best money spent on a camera!!

Hi Patty, no, this camera has a zoom lens connected to the camera body. This is not an interchangeable lens camera. Thanks_Mitch

Hey,The zoom in this camera is manual, controlled by the wheel (around the lense). It also has digital zoom, but no rocker as the typical point and shoot.

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.

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.

NO; according to Logitech, you can only zoom In & OUT. the focus is supposed to be automatic.

Manual focus as well as an auto focus feature... When zooming in it locks in the subject and captures an amazing photo.... It has a nice stabilization feature that captures a subject in movement as well... Hope this helps
