On the right side of the “dial function” dial is a blue magnifying glass icon. Is there a way to use the dial function to magnify? I’ve only been able to do it using the touch screen. Thanks!

You can use the dial for zooming in/out when you are in image playback mode.

However when you are in shooting mode you instead use the  button for zooming, but only get 2 steps (5x, 10x).

You can also reassign another button for zooming (incl the Dial Funct button), but the  *  button is in a pretty handy location.

What I wish is that the zoom level could be programmed to be "persistent" after the shutter is pressed (for quick and easy follow-up shots while still remaining zoomed).  It would be great for macros.
