Hey Shawn,
I just did up the little tests you were asking about, and the results are below.
As for the zoom time, in the custom functions menu, there is an option for a "high-speed zoom" setting:
- When disabled, zoom to max takes approx 2.30 seconds.
- When enabled zoom to max takes approx 1.25 seconds.
And the following is a chart of zoom percentages of when the camera's aperture is stopped down to the corresponding values.
| 0 to 19 | 1.6 |
| 19 to 41 | 1.8 |
| 41 to 54 | 2.0 |
| 54 to 64 | 2.2 |
| 64 to 73 | 2.4 |
| 73 to 80 | 2.6 |
| 80 to 92 | 2.8 |
| 92 to 97 | 3.2 |
| 97 to 99 | 3.4 |
