Advice/help on Sanyo 8200 cameraphone

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.sprintpcs (More info?)

Can anyone tell me where I can get detailed instructions on the zoom
mode for the Camera on my Sanyo 8200?

When I bought it, I knew it had a camera and Flash. But recently I've
been reading that the camera has a built in zoom also.

I originally saw this advertised, but then read the same on the Sanyo
page itself.

But no where in the guide that came with the Camera, OR in the user
manual for the 8200 that one can download off of the Sanyo site does it
go into detail on how to use the zoom feature.

Actual Camera use is easy, But I don't see any menu setting, or button
for Zoom.

NO! It's NOT!

I already figured it out though with some help from Bob Smith.
