movie zoom with A100IS? Can anyone confirm whether or not you can use the manual zoom while shooting in movie mode on the A1000?

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

nope, no zoom while shooting video on the w290. It seems like a simple enough feature that it should be more common, but i guess manufacturers aren't really worried about it since zooming during a video shot tends to make the viewers' eyes hurt, so most people don't do it. Plus, the act of pushing the zoom buttons with your fingers on a camera this small would cause it to move around quite a bit while you're zooming, further adding to your viewers' headaches.

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 not used the movie mode on my camera yet. Check the "reviews" at amazon for this product, they are quite detailed and you find your answer there. Dan

I haven't tried the A1000. The image quality of the A590 is very good for a compact camera. The A590 has manual controls, aperture priority, and shutter priority auto settings. I think this is an advantage.

What are your expectations? I know one of the Fotodiox models mounts to an A35 camera and to old Canon FD mount glass. My A35 meters light through the FD lenses. You must focus and zoom manually just like on the old Canon AE-1. If you expect auto-focus, no, it will not work. Does the A100 have the same mount as an A35? Your old FD glass most likely have better optical quality than any new digital lenses until you get north of a $1000/lens.

So is that a "yes you can" or "no you cannot"? I cannot tell from the YouTube videos if they are using optical or digital zoom.

yes, the Canon PowerShot A1300 has an optical viewfinder, as well as the LCD screen, so you can line-up your shots either way you prefer. And, the viewfinder "zooms" with the optical zoom lens on the camera.

I dont own a fuji finepix, but I can say that No the Stylus 9000 zoom function does not work while in movie mode. Once you pick a particular zoom and start recording your stuck with it until you stop recording.

Yes. Not only can you use the zoom you can also take pictires while you are recording a movie. You can also capture individual frames from the movie afterward.

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

The focus is manual in still and movie. The zoom and focus are combined. You just turn the dial until you get the zoom and focus you like. It works great. We really love this camera. BTW, we have had multiple Kodak and Sony cameras and we like the Fuji camera the best. Hope this helps with your purchase.

Hi Tabish, Once you press the zoom in, its using the optical zoom which is upto 30x. Once you reach 30x zoom, and Digital zoom is activated, it will now use the Digital zoom. You will notice a small horizontal line on the zoom icon which means that once you pass that line, Digital zoom is now in use. You can set your camcorder to use optical zoom only by turning of Digital zoom. -Vincent

Yes as far as I remember you can select when to use 21:9 mode with the zoom feature as you stated. Some movies automatically default to it.

I am using a laea4 on my a7 with a tamron 70-300 and you can use optical zoom, clear zoom, and digital zoom. you can set a custom menu such as c3 and go to it at anytime. I was quite impressed with the images using all three. Hope this helps, Luke

Yes, you can zoom in when recording video. But you do have to turn off the microphone in setting or it won't work.

Just the opposite, I think - the power zoom is quiet enough for video, and on the low speed (by tilting the rocker switch just a little bit) it's nice and smooth. The "manual" zoom isn't mechanically linked, it's still power zoom, just controlled by a ring. It's harder to use while shooting video without shaking or tilting the picture.
