yes...you can zoom. No size limit....record until the card is full. Not sure on image stabilization but I think it does.

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.

Hi again. Just tried mine out while recording a video and zooming in and out just as you asked, and it's silent. Sorry -- it does seem that you've got a lemon.

I have my Z712 set to auto zoom while recording or taking pictures and YES you can adjust the zoom before and DURING the process of recording. I LOVE IT! It is much easier to have the camera auto zoom than to attempt to do it myself while recording. My daughter was on a swim team and I would record her events........once I programmed the auto zoom, it made watching her event much nicer and I could change the zoom if I wanted. During playback, I didn't hear the noise of the zoom focus, but then again, with a bunch of screaming and yelling parents in the background it was hard to tell.

Bill,Thank you for the information. I also looked at some HD solutions from your typical consumer digital camera's but was turned off by the short recording time and large storage space required. It seems you cannot use the zoom feature at all with the DMC-FX35K while shooting video with it. For $199.99, I think the Vado HD is your best choice for HD video recording. Cheers!Oscar V.

Video is nice but it is not to the level of a true video camera. However, for the type of videos most people want for simple things it is fine. I got the camera for my nephew and his wife after their son was born. They have taken many pica and videos with the camera and are pleased with the quality of both. As for zoom-the answer is yes. The video will zoom to the capacity of the camera. Hope this helps!

Yes, you can. However, it is limited to record on and off.You cannot zoom in or out.

Directly from the Z712 Manual:"Use optical zoom to get up to 12X closer to your subject. You can change optical zoom before (but not during) video recording."

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

You can zoom in and out while recording movies. This is a function of the lens, alone and has no bearing on camera function. Thanks, Joe Virgil Product Specialist

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

Does anyone know if while zooming in during video if you hear the audio noise of the camera zooming in during playback?

I believe you can. One reason I liked this camera was because it had so many options. You can find the manual online and check out specs. It is a great little camera but does not have wide screen. I also do not like that the view finder is on top. It makes it hard to see what you are filming if you have on high tripod. I recently bought the new zoom Q. 4 and was impressed with the sound and camera lens. The wide angle made it nice to get whole stage. I have some video examples of both on you tube I can send link.

Sorry for the delay as i was out of town. I just tried it out and yes you can zoom in recording mode.

The default recording mode (and display for the screen) is wide screen, which is a 16:9 aspect ratio. In short, yes it does both record and display in wide screen mode.

You can move the camera itself. There is not a zoom option that i am aware of.
