Galaxy S25 Ultra Camera JITTERY Zoom

[TJay311]

Is anyone else noticing the "smooth zoom" making a big jolt when zooming from 2x to 3x? It's most noticeable when in video mode.  It also happens when zooming from 2x to 5x. I'm pretty sure it's when the camera switches between the different lenses.  It happens when I use the smooth zoom bar and also happens  if I just press the 3x button or 5x button on the camera control screen. Very frustrating. I sent my phone back to Samsung and they sent me a replacement but it operates the exact same way. Thanks

I noticed the camera is a bit jittery at times, however the jitters are smoother and faster than previous phones.

I'm looking to upgrade from my S22 Ultra. How does the S25's rear camera's compare?

I use camera assistant in the goodlock app and my volume buttons for zooming, have you tried that?

This is good feedback 👌 @TJay311 

May I suggest to send this also via the feedback section via your Samsung Members App.

Hello 👋 @adams22 

Welcome to the Samsung Community Forum. 

I own the Samsung Galaxy s²² Ultra and the Samsung Galaxy s²⁵ Ultra and although I submit we all see photos differently in my 👀 I think the results have been improved. 

Maybe go to a Samsung Experience Store or Highstreet Store that has the phone on display to try the camera.

Does it make it smooth to swap between zooming? I have not activated this feature for fear that I accidentally use them.

It's better than when I use the screen

[Star_girl]

I will give it a try.

It's not really a constant jitter. The entire screen "jumps" when zooming from 2x to 3x. It's a very noticeable shift. The entire screen shifts.
