Camera zoom

[Alfaman]

I was recently on holiday, so taking far more pics than usual. I noticed that the max zoom on the camera was 30x.

I'm sure when I first got the phone it was far less than that. Would a recent update have anything to do with that?

@Alfaman: The Galaxy S20 featured 30x Space Zoom at launch, so this isn't something that has been added in a recent update. You can start using 30x Space Zoom by opening the Camera app and tapping Photo. Pinch your fingers on the screen to zoom in. You can also slide your finger along the bottom to increase and decrease the zoom. You may need to steady the phone for a few seconds to allow the frame to come into focus. Once you’ve zoomed in, tap Capture.

Many thanks for that. I only recently upgraded to this phone from an S8, so the 30x took me by surprise. Overall its a very impressive camera.

Many thanks for that. Excellent feature.
