Photo zooming gone crazy!

chizzer2003 · Mar 17, 2012, 04:29 AM

I've only just noticed this on my new iPad 3, and it does not happen on my iPhone 4.

Is anyone experiencing that when you double tap a photo in the photos app to zoom, does it zoom in far too much? For me it must zoom in about 100x! I don't know if this is an iOS 5.1 or iPad 3 issue. Anyone?

If the double tap is too much zoom, just spread your thumb and forefinger on the screen to zoom to whatever level you want. The double tap is a shortcut.

I had this happen but on my iPhone 4S (iPad was fine) when iOS 5.1 was released... strangely though, it seems to have fixed itself... - maybe try restarting or quitting the photos app etc

Turns out its just if you have zoom enabled, turn it off and it's fine!

Ah that actually makes sense, I'd been showing a friend how to zoom on his iPhone so probably had mine turned on!
