Yeah, 'cos most zooms, apart from some point and shoot, are manually operated only, so therefore there would be no controller circuit. Panasonic Lumix G9 and some lenses

I can also get phone to display full view with out any of the controls showing

roseyposey Cream of the Crop More info | Nov 18, 2018 00:09 | #8947 Just a random shot of the dog while walking after work this afternoon/evening. Ddidn't quite nail focus I think. Cute as he is, he was in the dog box, because he had rolled somewhere, which I wasn't aware of, until we got into the car! He now smells of lavender  IMG_4240-2 Duffy by Rose McGillicuddy, on FlickrOlympus M1 MkII, Olympus M5 MkII: Lenses covering 8 - 300mm

There are a couple of Panasonic m43 power zoom lenses. I got the 14-42pz with my first m43 camera, and it was ok but not great, but it was tiny when powered off. Ultimately it was replaced by a better lens and I sold it last year with the camera. There was also a 45-175pz that I have no experience with, but I think the general opinion from those who have used it is that if you don’t need the power zoom there are better options. The zoom could be controlled from a leaver on the lens, remotely from the Panasonic app on a phone, or there were a couple of bodies that also had a zoom lever on them. I don’t think they were a market success because they didn’t stay around for long.

One of the things I just love about the M5 is focus peaking with manual lenses. My eyesight not crash hot any more, and I enjoy some older lenses - the focus peaking is ace, even if I have a bit to go to master it Olympus M1 MkII, Olympus M5 MkII: Lenses covering 8 - 300mm
