The Bosch/Philips Autodome G3A has a 2 second delay before entering the digital zoom region (after reaching max. optical zoom). This delay may cause the Zoom Time to expire before the digital zoom region is entered. Should this occur, click the zoom bar again but this time further to the right. Alternatively, increase the value of the Zoom Time parameter.
