Does this zoom while taking a video? When taking pictures how is it with movement?(My last camera blurred with the slightest movement)

the photos are not blurry because of the image sensor. I have had good results!

The zoom is awesome on this camera it looks great once it focuses,however when something is moving and you're zoomed all the way in it is hard to get a good focused picture.

It will record audio during video. Ive not triewd zooming so cant answer your second question. I have to say that as time goes by,m Im less enthused byb this camera. It was cheap, being an old model, but I dont think Id buy it again. It takes too long to zoom in or out and serches way too long to focus in lower light conditions.

Sure, the TZ1 does it, but it won't be around forever and has, in most ways, been surpassed by the TZ3.So I guess what I meant by my first post was: Do any OTHERS, besides the TZ1, allow zooming while doing video?

Welcome! Video was taken using a Nikon Cool Pix P100 camera not the zoom 2QHD although the zoom can take hi-definition video that is decent. The sound was edited in later.

It does a good job with video, as it's HD, at 720p. However, it doesn't seem to adjust focus well, if you change the telephoto setting while filming. It's better to stop recording, adjust your teldphoto lens to where you want it, then re-focus before recording again. I have not uploaded to YouTube yet, so I can't comment on that, but it should work OK.

Yes it does although I have not made videos. I have a good camcorder so I only need this for pictures. But I love the pictures. The zoom is fantastic. I also have a big Canon DSLR but this is my go to camera for on the go now. Yes it's bigger than most point and shoots but the zoom makes it worth it.

I haven't used the video all that much but seems OK to me. Yes, you can zoom in and out during video recording.

sorry Elaine but you can't zoom in or out. If you click on options video capture filter (c) Then camera control it's there but it wont let you use the funtion I don't know why it's a fix setting .

Yes it does, and quite well too! The definition is great and the zoom is awesome. But I suggest that you invest in a tripod or a monopod to steady the camera if you are going to video from a distance.

Note that many of the small cameras in this class that DO allow zoom during video produce noise while zooming that many users have described as anywhere from annoying to unacceptable. I am torn on the issue personally. I can see both sides.

D. Barnes is correct. Although I'm very new with the camera, I am amazed at how well the stability worked with telephoto movie. When photographing our grandson's football game, the camera was set to full zoom, and the view finder shown the movie as shaking terribly. I was certain it would be unviewable (a word?). But after downloading, it was quite amazing how steady the movie appeared. Impressive.

It does have zoom, but that's where I ran into problems. Mine suddenly doesn't focus in zoom. Don't buy it, get a panasonic hx- wa03. I have one of these also. Awesome camera, awesome zoom. But I ran it over with the truck and it's getting repaired.

I also consider this an important feature. I was decided to buy this camera, but when I was in the store checking whether I could zoom while in the motion picture mode and I discovered I could not do so, I gave up... It's a pitty because apart of that, the camera is nearly perfect for me...Ken Techbuyer, maybe you should have start recording instead of only selecting the motion picture mode? This camera has no zoom while recording movies.

Hi: Nope, I haven't had any blurred images using the zoom feature. I don't have a clue for a remedy.. But you can adjust the ASA (like film speed) like to 1600, 3200, etc. making it faster & less need to use a flash in dark places & for Fast Action Pics. Otherwise I can't answer your issue. Good Luck. Rosie in Portland.

I very much like the zoom, which allows so much flexibility. I do use it at full zoom quite a bit, though.

no its doesnt. you dont want it anyway. it ruins the video because you hear the zoom motor in the video. thats why they usually dont enable it in cameras.
