Canon Powershot SD770 IS?

Question

Can you zoom on this camera while you are recording a video? I know that many cameras can not do this but i am not sure if this camera is the same.

Answer 1

Short answer: No. Zoom is locked during recording, but it can be set before.

Long answer. In general, video mode has about the same set of restrictions as shooting photos in automatic mode. For instance, you cannot manually set ISO speed nor exposure compensation. Flash is also not usable in video recording mode. Otherwise, many cool features, such as macro mode and image stabilizer, work in video recording mode as well.

Answer 2

nope you cant. i think you can zoom and then start the video. but during no. at least not on the powershot sd i had and i figure they are relativley the same.
