The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max offer customizable camera zoom settings to easily switch between standard, ultrawide and precise zoom levels. Kurt “CyberGuy" Knutsson shows you how.
First you'll need to flip your camera using the steps above so that it's not pointing at you. Once the camera is flipped, you'll be able to zoom in and back out.
Typically, for an interchangeable lens camera, the most cost-effective way to reach that far is to go with a zoom like a 100–400mm (and pair it with a 1.4x or 2x teleconverter) or a 150–600mm.
Furthermore, Google’s Pro phones have good 10x cropped zoom, but the camera app doesn’t offer a 10x button on these devices. So you’ll need to pinch or use the slider if you want a 10x shot.
While the camera is still available second-hand at around $500 its latest iteration, the Nikon Coolpix P1000 offers 125x optical zoom for even more incredible zoom detail.
If you're not seeing the new version of Google Camera in your Play Store updates, you can sideload version 8.8.224.514217832.10 from APKMirror to get the new zoom controls.
Samsung is using the technology in its newest Galaxy phones, announced Wednesday. All the S24 models have a 50-megapixel main camera that'll shoot lower-resolution shots at 2x zoom.
