Digital Zoom. I noticed that if digital zoom is turned on, I can no longer move the focus point. Is this normal?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "digital zoom"?. With the 14 - 42mm X lens with electronic zoom I can use "manual focus". I have not tried other auto lenses which have the manual zoom ring in addition to the electronic zoom.

Oh, I see. Sorry, but I have no experience with that. If I need a tighter crop I do that in the computer.

I too, have the open button that I slide and the flash comes on automatically. I changed my battery before I thoroughly tested mine but the problem with mine was the zoom would no longer retract. I finally just gave up and got a used one which I am totally happy with now. Like Ms. Jump stated though, Kodak has excellent customer service. Sorry, I wasn't much help on your issue.

no, there does not seem to be any zoom or focus options. it was simple plug and play install.

Did the focus lock? Make sure focus sensor is on something it can grab. Try manual focus to test mechanism.

As MDA pointed out, the nodal point moves on all zoom lenses, whether or not the external barrel extends/retracts. I have shot panoramas with this lens's big brother (f/2.8) and been very satisfied with the results. I think this is a non-issue.

My Daughter has this Camera and now her auto focus isn't working on it, so she has to manually focus it. I'm wondering if it is the lens or is it the body of the camera. She only has one lens so she hasn't been able to trouble shoot the problem and since she's away at college I'm unable to do anything about it at the moment. Anyone have any ideas?Thanks

There is a indentation about mid way through the device. You'll see a series of parallel vertical striations of sorts moving from left To right. That is your magnification knob. It's really my only complaint about the device. It should've been a digital zoom.

I used this lens for one year until yesterday without any problems. Just yesterday I am experiencing the same issue: quite focus hunting when zoomed out at 70+ and when it stops it is not on focus! Any idea?

Perfectly? 1. Have you been able to use the LCD display to set a timed interval exposure? 2. did you try to use the grip's arrow buttons to move the focus point while in live mode?

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 think there can be many reasons for this - could be sharp in the small viewer but not so sharp when expanded -- could be due to camera shake, too slow shutter speed, or possibly the camera didn't grab the object you wanted to be the main focus. I will place the subject in the middle of the screen and half depress the button -- then move the camera to the composition I want, which holds the focus where I intended. It may not be the best autofocus on the market. But on the whole it's a one of a kind camera, a keeper for sure.

I found that, when I touch the camera to zoom, it wobbles and moves. So for I found it easier to use the remote that came for my camera for zooming. Panning I place my thumb on the bottom of the camera and pan the camera. There are a couple videos on YouTube that show how to do that. Hope this helps.

The P Q10 is like most digital cameras, you change the focus by centering the view finder on an object and lightly tapping the shutter button. This will force the camera to refocus on that object. I don't believe there is a way to manually adjust focus like you adjust zoom. Practice with the light tapping on different objects in your field of view and it will become natural to shift your focus on anything in your field of view.

It is not motorized. You have to manually adjust it if you want to zoom in or adjust your focus center.

Would not go so far as to say it is normal, only that it has been experienced before :) and at least in my case has not apparently affected operation of the camera. However, for all I know this could have something to do with the fact that this camera has trouble staying in focus taking video sometimes. I'll never know - it's out of warranty now and there are still more pros than cons versus the alternatives available at the time so I'd have kept it anyway. :)

That is a great question. I tried to figure that out by checking the difference camera modes without success. I pushed E-Zoom on the top behind the zoom toggle button which bumped up the digital zoom to 16X. However, the digital zoom was inaccessible for me, also.I am sure that it is some simple solution....

No thats not normal. But make sure the focus ring is in the right position. Push it forward for autofocus, pull it back (toward the camera) for manual focus.
