can this zoom in and out? or does it always stay 7x magnified?

It's a 7x magnifier. If it was variable zoom it would state 1.5x-7x right. So it is a fixed 7x magnification. I have two of them and I use them for competition and hunting they are good for the price.

While there are tactical sights which can change sight picture between different settings, this is not one of them... even so after using this sight over a period of a few months a 7x magnification is pretty much pointless for most targets. A good zoom, in my opinion, would be 5x at the most. If you do get this item, be sure to get a very sturdy mount for your rifle.

No zoom, I only had this magnifier for three months and sold it. It stretched my red dot. I now have the Burris 3x magnifier. The glass is way better and clear. And it adjust, it's just a little more on price but lines up good with my Eotech. I also bought the Burris flip to side mount too. Go with burris I put it up there with eotech and aim point but way cheaper.

Always 7X but beware, it is very hard to get your eye in the right spot to actually use it. The lower power ones might be easier, but I had to return mine.

I believe you have to zoom in every time. Kind of annoying when tying to get the shot of that bird that will be flying by

Yes, the optical viewfinder does zoom in and out with the lens ... you can also see my review on youtube ... type in the search block kblakney61 and look for my review on my Fujifilm X10 .. thanks .. Ken B.

I would think there is a "zoom" function or else it would be really really unuser-friendly

The zoom works to the maximum (30x ?). Until you zoom in higher than 3 or 4 x you will get the circle showing from the lens adapter tube but this can be cropped later.

No, it does not zoom. I am regretting of gotten this flash light because it's cumbersome to align the batteries correctly in order for it to work and it really drain the batteries.

No, there is not a way to zoom in or out. I ended up taping mine to the wall.

Yes the lens extends zoom. As stated there is a newer version that extends the range and comes with Tamron's version of Image Stablization

Yes it can, and it works very well. I'm very amazed by the zoom quality still.

The viewfinder does indeed zoom with the lens - I got the camera out to check. It works really well. The only time I notice that the viewfinder and the lens can get out of sync is when you're vey close to a subject (e.g. in a macro situation) and there's parallax. In such (macro) cases it's best to rely on the screen on the back.

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 allows magnifications. If you don't want it, keep it 1x. It's very simple, just turn the ring near the eye piece to vary the magnifications. 1x itself is so large, you'll rarely use 3x which will go slightly beyond normal view and we have to move the eyeballs to get the wide view at 3x. I like this product, which has given me lot of advantages, like perfect view of LCD screen without extraneous light on the screen, helps a lot in quick focussing, which is just not possible without this product!

Mine doesn't work as a zoom. What you're calling a zoom lever actually adjusts other things like the size of the auto focus or the ISO or brightness. At least on my camera, I use the largest ring on the lens to zoom. Hope that helps.

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.

No you can't! You may be able to zoom in and out on pictures, but it does not work as a regular mouse

Yes it does. It took me a while to find it, but if you click on the display button twice it should be on top. You can zoom 2x or 4x. Hope that helps :)
