Zooming
Before taking a photo or video, you can first use the onscreen zoom bar to zoom in or
out of your subject.
When you’ve just opened the camera or switched between photo and video modes,
the zoom bar shows on screen for a few seconds. To display it again so you can zoom,
do the following:
Tap anywhere on the Viewfinder screen. Then slide your finger across the
zoom bar to zoom in or out.
In photo mode, tapping on the Viewfinder screen moves the focus to your
tapped area. To avoid moving the focus, press the VOLUME UP or VOLUME
DOWN button to zoom.
When you’re recording video, the zoom bar is always shown onscreen. You can freely
zoom in or out while recording.
