Advice for Newbie re Canon Powershot SX60HS Zoom (1 Viewer)

[NewbieNewbie]

Hi
Greetings to all
May I ask advice re the Canon Powershot SX60HS please.
I read the online manual states it is not possible to use the zoom during a video recording.
Does this mean it is possible to zoom in first, and then start the video recording?
Or does it imply that video recording can only be done without the zoom, which effectively means the camera is useless because one can't take a long distance video of a bird in flight.
Thank you kindly
