Digital zoom#

Digital zoom is a preview punch-in. It magnifies the monitor image so you can check focus and framing — it does not change the optics or the recorded sensor area.

Controls#

From the terminal:

Command What it does
set zoom <float> Set the zoom factor, e.g. set zoom 2
set zoom Cycle through the configured zoom steps
inc zoom Step to the next zoom level
dec zoom Step to the previous zoom level

You can also map these to a button or rotary encoder in settings.json.

Settings#

The zoom behaviour lives in the preview section of settings.json:

  • default_zoom – the zoom factor applied at startup (default 1.0).
  • zoom_steps – the list of factors that set zoom, inc zoom, and dec zoom cycle through.
