Top right of the screen these should be a +/- button. Click that and a wheel will appear on the left hand side of the screen move it up and down to zoom in and out.
I think you wanted to know where the zoom function is whilst actually recording? The answer unfortunately is this is not possible
very few digital cameras include a zoom function while recording video

Yeah sorry. I thought he meant camera. Zoom on video is not possible. Probably because when you use digital zoom it decreases the resolution.
...
thanks for the replies
i wish you could zoom in and out when video recording like my older nokia phone (which is like 4 years old!!!)
i wonder why this was left out....either way, at least i know to stop "trying" to look for a zoom option whilst in the middle of video recording
You shouldn't use digital zoom, it just decreases the resolution instead of actually zooming in.

hy developers as we all know arc does not have the zoom function in 8MP picture capturing and in HD video recording
and its not pause the video while recording i mean there was no pause video option while recording
please can you modify the arc camera settings for these two things for 2.3.3
thanks for your time
please developers say something on this topic
can you make this possible
i think zoom cant be added...........even if the digital zoom is added it will not make any sense.........digital zoom is crap

Agreed, much better too take a shot then zoom in afterwards, less chance of blur etc
you are not right nokia n8 has a perfect digital zoom at video recording !!!! no blur!! very clear image!!!!
@mikemilos
Nothing can compare to optical zoom. Another point to note is that the N8 has a larger sensor and better optics. That's still the top dog when it comes to phone cameras.

The new Update sony ericsson is releasing for Xperia arc introduces Camera Zoom/Photo Zoom up to 2.62x i think. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1199597 for more information
Zoom funtion is working on new 4.0.A.2.368 but as stated above it is really blurred (and don't work in video mode).
Digital zoom is crap.
It's just taking the pixels in the middle (the zoomed area) and blowing them up.
You can't beat physics.
Video/picture samples on the new 4.0.A.2.368 build:
I was wondering how close you need to be to the subject to get a good quality 1080p video? Is the digital zoom any good I guess is what I am trying to find out.

No. Not at all. The picture gets horrible. But the pinch to zoom thing is still sweet, and I use it sometimes.
Light is the most important on any video the more light youhave the less the cam has to amp up iso and gain whitch makes it noisy .i dont think video has zoom or anti shake.
Edit only 1080 p has no zoom others have digital zoom not optical ,

Yes 1080 is not as good as I wad expecting. No zoom. I'd rather record in 720 so I can zoom. Still a really good camera/camcorder.

hello
Is there any way to improve the camera's zoom?
it can improve a rom?
photos are very nice but the zoom is not clear and very weak
B.R.
Dont think there is a way to do that. If you want good zoom probaly better off with a actual camera

The short answer is no. Your phones camera, like most smartphone cameras only has digital zoom. This is essentially the same as cropping an image using photoshop or some other photo editing software.
If you want to be able to zoom and have crisp photos, the only option is to buy a camera with OPTICAL zoom.
As a rule I have found you are much better off ignoring zoom on your camera completely, and editing it later on, and if you do use the digital zoom feature, use as little magnification as possible.
Any software updates/changes could the algorithm slightly, and in my opinion, it rarely makes much difference, and being Sony has a digital camera/SLR arm (they also bought Minolta a while back), I would suspect they have tweaked for quality already.
I ask because I previously used the desire hd and there was a very good zoom

DHD camera is not as good as arc in the first place, and the zooming function make it worse..
I had a DHD with 2.3.4 rom and zoom was very good and clear
Take the photo and zoom afterwards with a pc or an app if zhe zoom of the cam isn't good enough for you.

I agree that digital zoom is not as good as optical but it has its used on the Xperia ARC. You will actually get me details zooming in than taking a full size picture which you enlarge later on.
Try the following to test this, it will only work on motives close by. Place a book 1-2 meters away from you. Take a full size picture and then take a one where you zoom in on the book. You will actually be able to read the text on the book on the zoomed picture while the enlarged full size picture will show the book as pixelated and it is difficult to read the text.
There is no difference on motives far away between the zoomed picture and enlarged full picture.
I am not sure why the objects close by contain more details when zooming than enlarging a full picture. My best guess would be that SE has some logic buildin on the photo chip that on the zoomed picture correlate pixel readings on the sensor and not just cropping and enlarging the final picture.
Please let me know if you experience the same, I am very puzzled that the zoomed picture for objectives close to the camera contain more details than the full size picture.
Hi All,
I have Camera Zoom FX on my HOX, but can't seem to find a way of taking pictures while recording HD video, like you can on the standard camera app.
Does anyone know of a way?
Cheers

Probably not possible, it would need to be built into the app to work
They probably wouldn't, as I assume it takes quite a bit of power to be recording video and still have spare resource to take a picture, I know hox does do this, but a lot of other phones simply couldn't, and it would make their app look bad if they put in a feature that didn't work on 90% of the phones out there

It's very difficult to record live concerts even with specific stuff at specific places so with a phone it's impossible to have good sound.

well when zooming it tries to get sound from zoomed place i think as long as you dont zoom in concert its okey.. but say you takinga video to a person talking just one and zoomed on him you get better sound and louder it tries to catch the sound from zoomed placed or person on screen. thats a feature thats how it is.
