Camera Zoom

With the iOS 5 upgrade release, zooming for the camera changed.  Previously, you tapped the screen to make a slider bar appear (could zoom in/out using the slider).  With the upgrade, you simply use a 'pinching' move on the screen when you are in camera mode.  Again, the slider bar will appear and you can zoom in/out.  Here are the steps again:

If you have the iOS 5 upgrade:

1. Open the Camera.  NOTE:  You must be using the back camera for zoom to work, zoom will not work if you are using the camera lens on the front of the iPad.
2. Use your index finger and thumb, use a pinching move on the screen, or pinch then flick them apart...both work. A slider bar will appear, zoom in/out.

If you do NOT have the iOS 5 upgrade:

1. Open the Camera. NOTE:  You must be using the back camera for zoom to work, zoom will not work if you are using the camera lens on the front of the iPad.
2. Tap or touch the screen, a slider bar will appear.  Zoom in and out.
