Arrived here googling "Lumix DMC-ZS25 video initiates while zooming". Love this camera found at a thrift shop for 1/10 the original MSRP, Leica lens to boot ! Building on Peter A's and Joachim P's suggestions, carefully sprayed DeoxIt F5 (L spray setting) around the zoom ring, working it back and forth several times and then using canned air to remove / blow extra F5 out. Done with battery removed. Repeated a couple of times and the ZS25 Lumix functions as new. Worked so well, repeated this procedure on the Mode dial. This feature laden, compact point and shoot accomodates an extensive range of shooting conditions and complements the phone cam. Slowly R(ing)TM (advanced) and learning all capabilities. Thanks again to contributors to this topic.

Excellent utoob by mikeno62 dismantling a Lumix TZ100 and detailing the zoom ring assembly and zoom trigger switch @ 51 mins in. Guessing the F5 and blast of canned air is enough to penetrate to and clean / lube the trigger switch. Good luck to all.
