What happens when you digitally zoom with the zoom lens on?

The phone adapts to the lens on, focusing adapting to the image the lens gives it... nothing weird really happens, just works

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.

Hi Tabish, Once you press the zoom in, its using the optical zoom which is upto 30x. Once you reach 30x zoom, and Digital zoom is activated, it will now use the Digital zoom. You will notice a small horizontal line on the zoom icon which means that once you pass that line, Digital zoom is now in use. You can set your camcorder to use optical zoom only by turning of Digital zoom. -Vincent

This camera can be remotely controlled through a web browser or an IOS app to pan, tilt and zoom. The pan and zoom are mechanical and allow precise placement of the lens. Focusing of the lens is not controlled electronically... You have to set it by hand for a given distance, which usually isn't a problem. The zoom feature is digital, not optical. That means the image gets pixelated as you select 2, 3, or 4X. I find digital zoom to be worthless.

I could not find a way to use it.It did work very well with the non-zoom lens setting.I did have to remove the camera strap when I used this & use a strap on the housing.I hope that this answers your questions, I'm glad that I bought it.

Yes you can. If it is silent(what you are filming), you can slightly hear the lens zooming in and out. I just tried it at work!

Vignetting on a zoom lens usually goes away at about 29 mm, but will occur at shorter extensions. Use at the longer extensions and it works great.

No. You just screw it onto the lens which makes it darker. Also when you zoom out you see black edges, a round black circle, on all your photos. I never use them. Also my tripod is already broken.

The digital zoom may only be turned on in Normal, Scn1, Scn2 or Movie mode. Press 'Menu/Set' -&gt; Select Digital Zoom off/on

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. I just tried it. You can also focus with the ND side to side switch. Also, like ryuxis stated, the zoom is considerably slower.

Works very well, one thing to add, it intensifies the zoom of the lens you're using by 2x

No issue with the full 20x optical zoom. Suggest that you run a test under ideal condition i.e. with the camera on a tripod. You will get degradation when using the digital zoom at or near the max zoom.

The switch allows you to move closer to your subject, i.e. it does decrease the "minimum focusing distance" of the lens, which in effect turns it into more or less of a magnifying glass so you get far more detail than using the standard zooming function of the lens. What's cool is if you pick up some inexpensive magnification filters you can get quite fine detail of small objects in combination with the macro feature. I don't know if any elements are moved inside the lens.

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

No. But you won't need to. The zoom on this lens is 24-720mm, which is awesome. I can actually zoom in better than with my previous, detachable lenses. And the sharpness of this lens will practically cut your fingers, it's so sharp.
