How Do I Zoom on My iPhone 5 Camera

As with many of the features on the iPhone 5, the zoom function on the camera is accomplished with gestures as opposed to buttons. So to zoom with the camera, you need to pinch the screen with two fingers. This will bring up a previously hidden zoom slider, like in the image below. You can then continue to pinch either in or out to decrease or increase zoom, or you can move the slider at the bottom of the screen. The pinch gesture can be a little tricky at first, as you are technically moving your fingers apart to zoom in, then moving them together to zoom out. Once you get the feel for it, however, it makes sense. Note that you do not have the zoom option while you are recording video, however. So if you have moved the camera to the video option, the zoom feature will not be possible. If you have a printer on the same network as your iPhone 5 that is capable of of AirPrint, you can print pictures to that printer directly from the iPhone 5.
