IPhone :: 4 With Real Optical Zoom Or Useless Digital Zoom?
Jun 7, 2010
It was just announced that the IPhone 4 will have zoom for the camera, but will this be real optical zoom, or will it simply be "digital" zoom? Digital zoom is so stupid - I can duplicate the effect of digital zoom by cropping the photo with photoshop afterward. Not only is digital zoom in effect the same a cropping a photo, but because the photo was cropped from the get-go, you have LOST information that you might have wanted. What if you "zoomed in" and took the picture, but mistakenly chopped off the top of your subject's head? That portion of the head was actually being perceived by the camera's sensor, so you could have had a complete photo, but it is now lost forever thanks to digital zoom.

What is the point of a digital zoom? How is it different than just cropping the image down and enlarging it, since the zoom actually adds no visual acuity to the picture, it's basically just performing a photoshop enlarge.

Does the iphone 4 have 5x digital zoom for hd video recording? In the keynote Steve says 5x digital zoom is "built in to the camera app" (52m 32sec in to the keynote) but it's not clear whether this feature applies to the HD video recording?

When switching the camera from photo to video mode, is the video supposed to be zoomed in a little more than the photo? In other words, the photo mode will take wider shots than the video mode. Is this intended or how can I fix this? It doesn't look like the video mode has a digital zoom to mess around with.

I would like to confirm if Digital Zoom is NOT possible at 5 megapixel, nor at 3 or 1 megapixel with Elm camera. I am able to zoom-in & zoom-out only in VGA mode. With Yari, I am able to zoom-in & zoom-out even at 5 MP. Could somebody please let me know why the same is not possible with Elm?
The current firmware version on my Elm is "R7BA076" and camera software version is "3.8". If I upgrade it to "R7CA06" with camera version "3.9", would I be able to zoom-in & zoom-out at 5 MP?

I have recently bought an Xperia Ray. The problem with the phone is that sometimes it just freezes when I try to take a photo or use the digital zoom on the camera. I have to take out the battery to start the phone. I have already restored the phone once, to see if the problem will go away, but it hasn't.

It seems to have occurred recently and am wondering if it is related to the recent Nokia camera/beta camera updates. I'm running 8.1 DP but I don't believe I was having this issue before and I don't believe I have had any recent big falls or jolts to the phone that might cause mechanical problems and I believe the zoom works fine in still pictures.

Given that if you go anywhere near it, it jumps towards the start of the track. However, if you disable it, then you can't focus the camera. Any workarounds?And while we're on the topic of the Music Player, I find it pretty bad that you can't exit out of the application and then have it pick up playing where you left off. I don't mean let it keep going in the background - I mean actually leave the Music Player. This seems like pretty basic functionality. Makes listening to podcasts on the phone very tedious. Am I missing something? Is there a way to pick up where you left off?

For those of you with an iPhone 4, open your camera app. Compare the zoom for pictures vs video. Why does video appear to be more zoomed in? It doesn't detract from quality, does it?

I just got my Iphone 4 but I noticed when taking video the camera tend to zoom in more by default versus the camera default. Is this normal? ON my 3GS the video and camcorder zoom are at the same level.

I had my iPhone 4s for about 1week (1st ever Apple product) before upgrading to iOS5.1. I'm not sure if it was possible before the upgrade but is it possible now to zoom into a photo more than about half way?
I have also noticed the lag that is present after the upgrade, both with typing and zooming, and yes I have done a complete phone reset.

Something I noticed... When I switch from photos to videos on the back camera, it automatically zooms in a little bit with videos. Anybody else getting this problem? It wasn't like this on my 3GS.

Last week, I used the flash and zoom on my camera, everything was normal, the buttons were there. Now When I open the camera icon, I have just the button for the switch mode( front and back), no more zoom or flash options/buttons at the top of the screen camera.

I have an iPhone 5S and just upgraded to Yosemite, apparently a big mistake after reading a lot of support items.Â
My phone keeps going into a zoom or huge text mode and I cannot get it back to normal. I also have an iPad that I send and receive messages on so not sure if that is causing a problem, it never was a problem before this upgrade.
