Fairphone 6 - camera zoom does not function

Help Fairphone 6

Yesterday I received a fairphone 6. With default android installation the camera works fine, including zoom.
Today I installed e-os for FP6. Everything went well, except that zoom does not function for the camera. The option is there, but it does not zoom in or out. Switching between different camera-apps doesn’t change anything.

Thanks in advance for helping out!

Just a preventive warning: if you intend to reinstall Faitphones OS, do not lock the bootloader, there seem to be a bug somewhere causing a hard brick at the moment

Nor does video recording with 60fps or higher.

It would be fantastic to have the Fairphone camera app available on e/OS. Or for the Fairphone team to help the guys over in Murena to make their app fully support Fairphone’s 6 camera.

Hi everyone,

I just bought a Fairphone 6 with /e/OS preinstalled directly from Fairphone.

I’ve been testing the camera and I noticed that zooming doesn’t work when taking photos. I checked the camera settings, but I couldn’t find any option to enable or use zoom.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

This seems to be a known, common issue with /e/OS on the Fairphone 6.
I would recommend taking a look and keeping an eye on this topic over on the /e/OS forums.
