Using the optical zoom does not degrade the image quality and clarity.
Use the digital zoom when you want to zoom more than the optical zoom
range.

Focusing may become unstable when you record with a fast zoom or
zoom into a subject standing too far away. If this occurs, use the manual
focus function. (Video recording mode only)

The minimum distance you can have between the camcorder and subject
while maintaining sharp focus is about 1cm (about 0.4 inches) for wide
angle and about 1m (about 40 inches) for telephoto. If you want to shoot
the subject close to the lens at a wide angle, use the Tele Macro function.

Frequent use of the zoom function consumes more power.
The camcorder can record the sound of the zoom mechanism.
