How do I get the zoom to work, it says push/pull type on the user guide and I have no idea what to do.

Pull lens for close range and rotate inner focus for either near or far, extend the lens for zoom and again rotate the inner focus.

The push/pull refers to the 600-1300 magnification. Loosen the knob and you can extend or shorten the lense. Once you have the proper magnification, there is a locking knob that tightens and holds the magnification. In order to focus I use the black ring under the Opteka logo with the inner focus marking. It takes some practice to get a great picture. I would also recommend getting a tripod to support the weight. If you have other questions, let me know.

You can adjust zooming as follows: 1) Power the unit. 2) Press the Right Arrow and the OK/ENTER buttons simultaneously. 3) At the "Setup Option" screen, press the Left Arrow button & the OK/ENTER simultaneously. 4) Press the Right Arrow button twice to highlight "WinRange" and press OK/ENTER. 5) Press the Right Arrow button to Zoom-Out or the Left Arrow Button to Zoom-In. 6) Press OK/ENTER button to finalize setting. 7) Press Convert/Mode button to Exit setup option.

I too have one of these that has the same problem. Seems like Olympus should do something about this problem as it seems to be more common than one would think. I have cleaned mine, blew it out etc and nothing works. Just keep getting the zoom error. I agree that their diagnotic check is way too high. Maybe a class action suit would take care of our problem??

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.

The zoom function is part of the flash, not the remote trigger. You can only adjust power levels remotely.

I'm sorry but I don't have a zoom hq2.The user guide is available as a download. I would try the Mixcraft website.

I cannot tell you how the zoom works, because I bought two of these flashlights, and neither of them worked. I have sent them back to Amazon. I am getting a full refund.I am glad Amazon stands behind their merchandise.

Sorry, Nicole, I sent the Digital Reins back to Amazon~ couldn't get a good photo, it was blurry...and the guide booklet wasn't legible. Other customer comments were also negative. Good luck!

We had the same problem and after hours of trying to figure it out, We finally did. Simply push and the center button in. The one you use to steer the camera.

According to the Drivers link button on the Zoom website the answer is yes but you have to download 3mb of new drivers from there to make it work. See link in isagmagic's post.

Make sure in the settings that the zoom lever on the camera body is set to zoom for the lens. You can also set it to digital zoom and nothing. Maybe yours is set to nothing. Also check the "manual/servo" switch on this lens is set to servo

You need to use auto focus if you don't want to manually focus in and out on close ups or long distance shots. It sounds like you zoomed to fast and it couldn't adjust fast enough or you have it set to some weird manual setting. This happened to me that's why I am trying to offer advice.

I had the same problem for a while. it was some sort of "zoom lock". Finaly came on and displayed the warning "Zoom Lock". Eventually had to replace the camera. Sorry if bad news.

There is a manual mode on the camera, as well as auto-focus. The zoom is done manually.

Hey justin, yeah the scrolling is sensitive, its kind of hard to control. But the software thats used with the mouse lets you tweak and adjust, like -double tap(front or back of touch area) to zoom in or out. -switch between apps -go to start screen(win 8, no clue what it does in Win7). I recently switched to double tap to zoom much easier for me then the touch scroll. Also double tap to zoom is a little slower.

Thank you for the response. But that is not it. I have walked through all the "Aspect' setting and the problem still exists in each area. It is very bad in the zoom setting.
