Can you zoom in/out on iPhone 5 video camera?
Hi,
I'm not sure if I've been imagining this the entire time or does zoom feature exist in iPhone 5 video camera?? I swear I've used it before - not during a recording, but I've been able to zoom in before I make a video recording and now it's gone!! :S
I've had this problem with my previous iPhone 4 - and the solution was to tap the screen so that it zooms out into its respective ratio (allowing zoom function to work on video recordings). This is not the case for iPhone 5.
Just recently I clicked into the camera app to take a photo and noticed the area (where the picture is supposed to be captured) is relatively smaller - so there was a black boarder all around and I had to tap/shake it so that it would go back to normal...! That's also when I noticed the zoom function was missing in video mode.
Is it just me or does anybody else get the same issue? Really frustrating to explain because I distinctively remember when I first got my iPhone 5 I was glad that I can zoom in on the video no problem but now it doesn't work! I've been reading forums and some say it's possible to zoom in/out (for videos) and some say it's not possible. I'm reluctant to download an app for that simply because it's inconvenient and if zoom does exist I would much rather use what is built-in. Please help!!!
iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.2
