Samsung S24 Ultra, camera zoom question, and notification sound for Facebook...

[t_rose]

I have two questions that are not related at all. I do a lot of videos for work, husband bought me the top of the line phone because of the camera. I was recording a video and needed to zoom in. I'm used to a smooth transition for zooming in, (previously had the s20 ultra) but there is no option for that? I have explored the settings and forums and can't find anything about it. My video settings only allow for .6 & 1 zoom. And it's a hard shift. This is not acceptable for my video work. Can anyone assist?
Second question is really not that big of a deal, but I can't figure out how to get the default Facebook messenger sound back. I downloaded it, but can't choose it when I set up the notification sound.

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

On my P8P I can pinch to zoom. Don't know if that works on Samsung.

While I can pinch to zoom,I only have the 2 options and it's a hard shift not smooth transition.

Turn off super steady mode. It's the yellow icon at the top of the screen to the left of the 9:16

With all 4 settings it remains the same. I've looked and played with all kinds of settings to see if it changes, but it doesn't. Should I report this as a defective phone?

@EazyD33 mentioned turn off the yellow steady mode

Will look like this with more video quality and frame rate options.

Oh!!!! That's the one setting I didn't mess with because my hands shake and I don't always have my stabilizer with me. Thank you so much!

Some others have noticed this too. You can try turning off Auto lens switching:

Camera -> Settings -> Camera Assistant -> toggle off Auto lens switching

Samsung changed how to enable individual app notification sounds. Here is how to reenable them.

GoodLock Camera Assistant also has a setting to add more zoom options.

Annoyingly a lot of features in general that were on previous samsungs are now in GoodLock.
