For some reason, i can't zoom in at all on video record, however for taking photos it works fine. I tried using the wheel to zoom in and tried to press the volume up/down button as well as tapping on the screen for options but couldn't find anything.........it seems i can only do that for taking photos.....
you should be able to zoom once BEFORE you start recording.
Tap your screen, the zoom slider will appear, zoom once then hit record.
it's digital zoom anyways... for photos, it's not good because you are just cropping the sensor, yet extrapolating to get 3mpix
for videos, not sure how it works, because the sensor ignores pixels to record only 320x240(or 336x????) - 0.08mpix out of a 3mpix sensor
i have same this problem how i can fix it i wamt use zoom with record video
there is update for camcorder or there is other software i can download it for video cam
thanks

Any and every video camera app I tried has some sort of built in image stabilization and this makes any footage useless for me. Corner warping and distortion is very visible a lot of times.
Yes this same problem also with me, AS the time we need the images the distortion occurs and image get vanished.
Change your shot mode to auto, but I believe your pictures will no longer be as HD as they could be but should be fine just fine.
Hi everyone,
So I just have noticed that using camera app on recording video mode (both front and rear camera) the view is way too zoomed in. I heard that it's something to do with video stabilisation, but I can't find a setting to turn off it. Well for rear camera is okay, the zoom is not very big, but when I open front facing camera, the zoom is way to big for proper use.
What's strange that using Instagram record mode, there is no extra zoom. So is there possible to fix this on default P20 camera app?

Hi i noticed that in front camera,
It zooms when I enter video mode. It looks more far from me but it gets very close when i enter video mode.
By doing this it really screws angle of the recorded area.
How can i fix it ?
Hello, when i take pictures with the back camera, i can choose aspect 4:3 or 16:9 and it look fine. But when trying to record a video, only offers 16:9, 1:1 or full, but in all aspects it wayyy zoomed in , I have to put in panoramic mode to look a bit more decent but it look distorted. Is this normal?
Hi @_Elixir,
This happens when "Video Stabilization" is ON, it’s part of the feature. If you don't like it, turn it off on "camera settings" (gear icon on the top) and restart the camera app. But you'll must have a steady hand to record the video without shaking.
