Zoom
In capture modes that allow zooming, do any of the following:
- On the Viewfinder screen, slide two fingers apart to zoom in or together to zoom out. You can also freely zoom in or out while recording video.
- Tap the zoom ratio button to switch between
1x and
2x zoom.
- Press and hold the zoom ratio button. When the zoom slider appears, drag the round button up or down the slider to gradually increase or decrease the zoom level.
