Zooming is useless? I can understand doing all enlargment on post but focus? It has a fixed what...f1.7 lens? Nearly everything is in focus all the time unless you are flying a foot away from a leaf you are photographing. I rarely zoom when doing video or even taking pics as I do that in post too but I do often zoom in just to be able to see something closer up. To each their own but I would never use the wheel for focus...and think that's why they didn't provide that function.
Zoom on the dial is indeed useless to me on the mini4 seeing as it is only digital, so is "switching focal length", along with the other settings. on a mavic it's a different matter.
no i do not find that a fixed f1.7 gives a terribly huge focus field, especially when flying indoors or close to complex structures. also using both sticks at the same time as the screen to focus is pretty much impossible, using the dial instead would be perfect.
edit: to clarify, zoom sure has its uses
but i would never use it within a recording on the mini4
if i wanna look at something in detail i can just hover and pinch the screen, i do not need to waste the dial on zoom here, is what i mean,
same goes for changing shutter speed or iso, i'm fine doing that via screen. so, to me in my situation these are useless functions. not overall and in any case.
i just think some smooth focus pulls could look neat in places is all.
