iPhone 12 Pro - Camera Zoom Defaults to 2.0, Can't access .5 Zoom either.

When I open the camera (despite toggling about every setting possible in Settings) the camera defaults to a 2.0 zoom. I can manually zoom out to 1.0 but am not allowed access to the .5 Zoom. Pretty frustrating for a $1000 phone that I bought strictly for the advanced camera.


Please assist ASAP.

Hello EShay777,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We understand you want to access the 0.5x zoom and will do what we can to help.


To not preserve settings on the camera, make sure it's not selected in Settings > Camera > Preserve Settings for it to be set as the default.


0.5x should be an option This will explain where to look under 'See Beyond the Frame': About the Camera features on your iPhone


Thanks and have a wonderful day.
