Why is there not a ‘preserve’ setting for camera zoom? I typically record using 0.5 zoom on the rear camera, at 4k 30fps, quite necessary for self-recording shots whilst moving. I find myself having to manually select 0.5 zoom each time I record. Surely this setting should be implemented for a more smooth UX?

Third party apps offer that feature. I would look at Blackmagic Camera. It’s features are far superior to Apple Camera app. Blackmagic is also free. Another app is Final Cut Camera.
