Front Camera Zoomed In (big time)

[natashyamb]

Why is it when I use my front facing camera on Instagram, Facebook and Whatsapp it is VERY zoomed in? Like only half my face fills up the whole screen when my arm is fully extended. Anyone else?! Please tell me there's a way to fix this 😔

Hi natashyamb,  Could you please let us know the model number of your Samsung device. Please check if the issue occurring when you open the camera application.

Hi, Unlike using preloaded camera application, when shooting a front or rear camera with a 3rd party camera applications, the angle of view may be narrow or the camera may not be able to capture a wide scene.
When capturing on Galaxy S10 series with the preloaded camera app, two angle of view on the front camera and three angle of view(two angle of view are available on S10e) on rear camera are supported like below.

Therefore this operation is not device faulty and if you want to capture a wide scene on the front or rear camera, please use Samsung’s camera application.

Hi natashyamb, I suggest you please try uninstalling and reinstalling the Instagram application and check by taking a photo with the Instagram and the stock camera app.
