Can we click images in video mode? Also is Digital Zoom enabled in video mode?

As far as I remember, there's a mode you can take a picture with a short video. Anyway you can play the video you take and print screen to get the image you need later. Yep, you can enable digital zoom in video mode.

Yes, you can click images in vedeo mode, and use the digital zoom. However, quality of digital zoom is not that great.

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

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....

wrong......there is option for zoom in movie mode but it is the digital zoom so not as sharp but it does work.

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.

Yes. You can zoom, but you can't adjust the zoom once you've started recording.

You can digitally zoom any image, but it has no lensing for magnification built-in. It's essentially an old-fashioned focal-plane camera, writ 'digital'.LS

No it doesn't. You can get a program to do digital zoom, but that is just blowing up the picture and making it fuzzy.

Yes, found on page 11 "Scene modes" of the User Guide. There are twenty scene modes listed. Unfortunately my camera was stolen but fortunately have my pictures in my laptop.

HeidiI don't think I'm more advance with this unit than you are at this point!I have not tried the zoom feature and I can't help you there regarding whether the text stays on the screen.I was playing with the basics of the screen formatting last night.I did mess around with the settings and got the "boxing" to be reduced and the image enlarged. I believe this was under Setup\TV Settings, and then I selected the 4:3 PS that you described.This seems to work pretty well for me.

sorry to disagree but yes you can pause video in certain modes. you click ok and at bottom of lcd screen it will show you to push on +/- on right side of wheel. it don work in all modes.

All the early reviews so far have mentioned that they give you full Program, Aperture priority, Shutter priority, and Manual options when shooting video. They even let you use scene effect modes like monochrome while shooting video.So yes, manual controls for video are available. The only limitation I have heard with video (besides no audio-in jack) is that the in-camera Image Stabilization feature is disabled while shooting video. Using a lens that has it's own image stabilization works as expected though.

Go into Playback mode and push "MENU" button. Select "SET-UP". Then select "IMAGE DISP"...here you will find Zoom (Continuous) to turn on or off.

I have tried and can't get it to zoom in and out during video recording. Hope this helps.

There are three pages of zoom instructions with illustrations, and here are the basic settings: No zoom > Stretch, Letterbox, Pillar Box > Full Screen > Under Scan > 1.2 > 1.3 > 1.5 > 2.0 > 1/2 > Back to 1:1 again. I like the fact that I can maintain the proper aspect ratio when playing older movies and TV programs from DVD. If there's X/Y scaling, I haven't found it but that doesn't mean it isn't there. I don't know where to look. :-)

You should be able to zoom in and out using the zoom rocker on the top right of the camera. It's a small black rectangle that has the letters 'W' and 'T' near it.
