can anyone tell me what the ZP value on the right side of the zoom bar the lcd display is? I understand what the Z value on the left is but next to it it has a ZP value that just stays at 0. I've looked in the manual but unless I'm missing something there's nothing about it.

ZP = Zoom Preset.

Slide the Focus / Zoom Preset Position switch to Off and it goes away.

ah yes of course... If I didn't have the critical thinking skills of a six year old that probably would have been pretty obvious : ) Thanks chris!
