Phone auto-zooms when starting a video recording

I've had this phone for 9 months now and it's possible that it's always done this and I haven't noticed it but today when I started recording a video, I noticed that it zoomed in a bit before it started recording.

It only seems to do this when in "Superior Auto" mode. If I switch to 4k recording, it doesn't zoom.

I'm wondering if this started with an android update (perhaps to Lollipop or something) because I'm sure I would've seen it before. Or perhaps it's a setting that I've inadvertently changed. In any case, I'd like for it to not zoom when I start recording. Anyone else seen this? Anyone know a way to change it?
