Hitachi Camera

I just brought a Hitachi HDC-1097th digital 10MP. The problem is when the video mode, it zooms in, but when her recording, the zoom button does not zoom so I can not shoot close-ups of objects. Please help me solve this problem I can not return or sell the item!

Sorry ..
Most digital point-and-shoot can not zoom while recording, it's not in their design.
If you have any doubts, go to the store and ask them to prove any point and shoot, while recording.
