Zoom controls and commands are only supported on drones and cameras that have zoom capabilities. Check the spec sheet or DJI app for your drone camera. If you don't see any zoom controls in the DJI app, you know it will not support zoom for those settings.

Zoom Commands
Zoom commands can be used within a mission. The camera must be set to the specific settings that allow zoom.
There are 2 different zoom command types that depend on the drone / camera and camera settings.
-
- Camera Zoom Ratio - use this command if you can only set the zoom in DJI apps by selecting 1x, 2x, 4x, etc. Only supported values are accepted per each drones / cameras capabilities.
- Camera Zoom Percent - if you see a slider in the DJI app, you can set any percentage.
