On Gitlab they announced that there’s a fix that should be integrated in e/OS 3.1.
Now I’m quite curious when 3.1 will be released.

Yeah me to. Can’t wait for some fixes
Camera zoom works for me on the 3.1.0-rc build.

How did you get that version? I’m on 3.0.4 and it says that I’m running the latest version.
According to forum rules, test builds should not be discussed.

I reckon it’s just a glitch which’ll get dealt with sooner or later. Even when working, the camera zoom, relying as it does on digital magnification, isn’t up to zooming in on distant objects, like a little bird in a tree. However, once a picture has been taken and saved to the gallery one can at least zoom in on a detail and perhaps crop and save the resulting new image. I often use zoom to be able to read very small print and the FP6 camera lens is perfectly OK to capture all the details. So I reckon that, given the device’s specifications, whether it works or not when taking a photo, zoom is irrelevant, at least for my purposes.

You are right that there is no optical zoom available in the camera sensor. But you can’t post process with the current image settings as you cannot select the full 50MP size the sensor is capable of. So currently you are stuck with the 12MP and no possibility to get more details when zooming in after the picture is taken. So the software fix still is needed (but I’ve read it’s already in the dev version).

Does anyone know when an update for the Fairphone 6 camera app can be expected? I read something about the second week of August.
As you wrote ‘expected’ and ‘second week of August’ and since that is passed, you can expect it any day.
Have you all activated “Camera2” - Api in settings of OpenCamera / does zoom work when you activate it?
I’ve read the 3rd week now due to sudden discovery of bugs.
No it doesn’t unfortunately.
Both of them modes don’t.
Where did you read that?

Well - this would be week 33.
Meanwhile it’s week 34.
Weak.
