There isn't one. The nexus has a fixed lens so it would only be capable of digital zoom ( the same as just zooming in to a picture you've already taken).
Optical zoom is not possible on the Nexus S. I have tried Camera Zoom FX app, and I would rather move my phone closer to the object than use the pixel zoom -- it degrades the pic too much.

Polaris camera only has no zoom in camera mode, only 2x zoom in movie mode
Ruduce camera down to 1 megapixal and you should have 2x digital zoom
Thats because the image that the camera can capture is 3 mp big, so it has a fixed widh and height.
When you reduce the cuality to 1MP for example, you can take a 3MP photo, but only capture a part of the size of a 1MP, thats the "zoom" you get...
I hope my english is understandable...
Chears.
anyone know how i can do this with jf1.42 rc33 rooted g1
No video recording yet (except through third party application - namely "Video Recorder" - imagine the creativity), and since the camera lacks a zoom, you will never be able to zoom it. Just crop your pictures.
you should be able to digitally zoom your camera just not optical

digital zoom = cropping
no real need to implement a zoom feature that pixel-ates the photo even more than it already is
can u tell me why video recorder force closes when i hit record

because it is a not so good program. when i tried it my camera shutter got all screwy. had to reset the phone
easy answer: wait for cupcake or a POST RC33/9(UK) cooked build
i think this cupcake thing is becoming a hoax

I agree. I don't know why so many ppl are wanting camera zoom, cause it will never be optical zoom. Anyone that know anything about cameras knows the only way to go is optical zoom. And like you said, if you want digital zoom, just crop your photo.

Optical zoom is better, but a good software zoom which tries to interlace the picture would work too?

You're better off "zooming" using a real photo editor, just crop and enlarge and the quality will be much better than what the phone could ever manage. The only thing digital zoom would possibly be good for is for those who don't want the hassle of cropping/enlarging the pics themselves using an external program on the PC.
at least for video recording digital zoom should work. coz u dont use the full resolution of the chip anyways and the frame is always rendered down to a lower resolution.

There should be. Currently sent my Nexus s for repair so cant check but i watched a video demo in youtube and i think i saw there is zoom.
No, camera zoom will not be present in ICS but if you really want it Get Camera Zoom FX from market, it has digital zoom.

i don't know how to say , it's just like you took a picture and then zoom in , it doesn't real zoom in like professional camera , it just zooms in like you looking at picture in the computer by use scroll wheel.
the picure which i took is fuzzy , exactly like you zoom in photo in computer at high rate !

That's the only kind of zoom you're going to get on a mobile phone in the near future. It's called digital zoom, and that's what pretty much all mobile phones (including Galaxy Nexus) have.
I think the feature will be available to only capable devices as far as i know our Nexus doesn't support zooming although it might be possible that in ICS they implemented digital zoom which is of less quality
There's no point in a digital zoom, you're simply cropping a section of a picture.
Without a lens that can zoom, there's no point in zooming.
I thought it was confirmed that the base firmware reports to the rest of the system that camera doesn't support any type of zooming, including digital on the Nexus S.
The Galaxy Nexus does though. Sometimes digital zoom is better than no zoom when you want to quickly focus on a particular subject and that you don't want to fiddle with desktop editing software.

well-said
Well today is the day I realized the Nexus S have no zoom function in its camera and I went like what???
I've been Googling, XDaing and see a lot of mentions, but never seen the real answer to this matter.
Is there a way to make a zoom on the Nexus S?
Please share... share directly the app, fix method, tool or whatever please.
Thank you in advance.
There is no zoom and never will be.

Digital zoom is no different than zooming in on the picture post processing.
The NS will never have zoom.
Does anyone know how to mod stock camera to change camera zoom. I have 6x zoom but would like to have 10x like the other models?
Why do you need digital zoom? It's the same as if you would zoom into the picture afterwards in the album app

Good question!
The only reason I can think of is if you want to frame a picture to post immediately on social media.
Otherwise it's far better to save the whole picture. Then you can cut and zoom to get exactly what you want, either with a phone app or later with Photoshop or similar.
