Top right of the screen these should be a +/- button. Click that and a wheel will appear on the left hand side of the screen move it up and down to zoom in and out.

I think you wanted to know where the zoom function is whilst actually recording? The answer unfortunately is this is not possible
HTC Sensation XE (T-MOBILE )

HTC DESIRE (More E-Bay fodder)
TOUCH HD ( E-Bay Heaven)
T-MOBILE MDA PRO (lost to E-Bay!)
T-MOBILE VARIO ll (also gone down the E-Bay road)

Yeah sorry. I thought he meant camera. Zoom on video is not possible. Probably because when you use digital zoom it decreases the resolution.

Default ...

thanks for the replies
i wish you could zoom in and out when video recording like my older nokia phone (which is like 4 years old!!!)
i wonder why this was left out....either way, at least i know to stop "trying" to look for a zoom option whilst in the middle of video recording

You shouldn't use digital zoom, it just decreases the resolution instead of actually zooming in.
