This problem is caused by the camera backend reporting no zoom capabilities when the phone is switched to video recording mode. This has been reported as bug #1517050
The UI is simply (and clumsily) reporting that it can't zoom. The short term fix is probably to disable the zoom UI entirely when no zoom capability is reported by the backend (possibly with some indicator that zoom is unavailable, to prevent the user to think that pinch to zoom is simply broken) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1388876 Title: Pinch to zoom not supported when taking video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/camera-app/+bug/1388876/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
