Was getting a similar issue where the pressing the narrow / wide S switch... it would zoom in, in steps... I'm not sure if this is an actual feature, but when I was stepping in my zoom the RE FOCUS constantly blinked, and the image was blurry... The laser wouldn't fire in manual or auto. When I bound the manual lase option to my hotas to get around the issue... the pod just did the same stepping style zoom pressing the lase key.
