Some cameras, like several in the MZ/ZX series, support _some_ power
zoom functions but not all. The MZ-5n and MZ-S, for instance, support
the basic 3-speed power zooming, but not the zoom clip, size tracking
and other fancy functions. Also, these cameras do provide the
retract-the-lens-to-its-shortest-physical-length feature via power
zoom when the camera is turned off, a nice feature, although unlike
the PZ-1/PZ-1p, this feature on the MZ cameras doesn't also turn the
lens focus to infinity when the camera is turned off, which would
make the lens as short as possible.

AFAIK, the power zoom functions were only available on the PZ
series bodies. I found them to be basically useful only as a
gimmick even when I had a PZ-1p.
The MZ-S is also on that list, IIRC.
