Disable camera zoom? [answered]
asked 2016-10-20 01:20:49 +0300
I only use the camera zoom by accident. Is there a way to disable it, to make an accidental pinch do nothing?

Yes, it is possible. You will need to edit a file in root, this means using terminal, or I can make a patch for you. If you choose the patch option, this means you will need to install Patchmanager from Openrepos.
Which would you prefer?, edit yourself or apply a patch?
Here's the file and line the requires a simple edit to get the effect you want;
/usr/share/jolla-camera/pages/capture/CaptureOverlay.qml Line 113
The original line looks like this;
onPinchUpdated: {
camera.digitalZoom = Math.max(1, Math.min(
The line needs to look like this;
onPinchUpdated: {
camera.digitalZoom = Math.min(1, Math.max(
Save the file and fire up the camera, zoom should now be disabled although the zoom bar/indicator still shows, it doesn't move.
IF you are not keen on editing the file yourself, let me know and I can make a patch.

Thanks.
It seems that one can make not only the zoom function, but also the dialog, disappear by clearing onPinchUpdated and onPinchStarted before it. So, my file now says
onPinchStarted: {
}
onPinchUpdated: {
}
