Description of problem:

When using the AI Camera in iNaturalist Next, there is a button on the right side to switch to the 3x camera (or 0.5 x). However, when this is pressed, it zooms in well past 3x, at least relative to when the 3x camera is selected in the native camera app. The resulting zoom seems way too zoomed in and I would much prefer the actual 3x camera!

On a related note, when pinching the screen is used to zoom in, the magnification indicator (0.5x, 1x, 3x) doesn’t change, and I’m not sure if the camera is able to switch here or it’s just using digitial zoom on whatever camera was last selected.

Hi @coreyhusic, have you tried updating to a newer version of the app? This is a problem we tried to fix in v0.46.0, so it would be helpful to know if you’re still experiencing it in the newest version.

Thanks! Yes, it’s now working. I guess iNaturalist Next wasn’t automatically updating for some reason.
