It's why they offer full manual. You'll still feel a lil resistance but you'll do no harm in this mode unless ya get waay out of hand. You can sense it. Use the force, Luke. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/manually-zooming-in-servo-mode#post-50708 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 13:56:01 +0000 NathanBlair 50708@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hey, I own a Panasonic AG-HVX200. Somebody asked me this today, and made me curious...</p> <p>With this camera, of course there is a manual zoom mode, which allows free movement of the zoom ring for quick snap-zooms. But also, when you set it to Servo, you are still able to manually zoom with the ring, it's just a little stiffer. The question is, does it harm the mechanics of the zoom lens to operate it by the ring when its set to Servo Zoom mode? </p>
