I've discovered a pretty good way of using Zoom with Air2
I know someone has posted clicking icon and scrolling using finger, but I discovered another way that might be smoother and easier to use.

Hold function button down and use scroll wheel to Zoom simple and pretty good.

I saw a video on that a little bit ago. I haven't got my MA2 yet, but man, seeing these features does make me anxious!! Thanks for sharing hallmark007!!

It really is a major step up from the mini, and value for money is exceptional.

It's supposed to be delivered tomorrow so it's almost like Christmas LOL!!

thanks, learning all the time!

Good to know, thank You!

Thanks hallmark007!!

Tip!!!  Take your finger off the scroll wheel before releasing the Fn button.  If your finger is still touching the wheel, your gimbal  will probably move too.

It's a great hidden feature mate - think I'll try doing a manual mini dolly zoom

Very good tip, thank you.

Hi. Thank you for creating this informative post. This information will be a great help to our valued DJI co pilots who owns DJI Mavic Air 2. Thank you for your valued support.

Doing my firmware update tomorrow, looking forward to the new features.   This wheel Easter egg is really cool, so you have to maintain pressure on the fn button whilst scrolling with the wheel?

thanks again

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the tip!

Great tip....but I'm having a hard time making it work on my MA2.  I hold down and make sure 4K 25fps is checked but nothing.  What App should I be using (currently I use the DJI Fly App).  Also, here is a shot from a video which clearly indicates "Zoom" on the screen - notice it has 4 menu bars.  Mines only has 2 and does not have the bar where zoom is shown????  Please advise.  Thanks.

This is from an older FlyApp version.
Have a look on the bottom right, it has moved there and tap on the resolution, there you will find zoom.
Otherwise refer to the current version of the manual.

Is there an option for photo?  The video works great!

Nope, but you can crop the picture in post.

You would think both abilities would be available but it sounds like the only one is the video version.  it is strange to not have the zoom available in the photo as well since it is not a mechanical change on the camera but software.

You are fully right, but DJI never implemented it for photo mode, but a lot other useless funktionallity .

Only works in movie mode, not for taking stills.
