did anyone notice that when using the built in camera app on the iphone 16 pro running ios18.0.1, the telephoto camera cannot be used to record video. It works only when taking photos. No matter which resolution or fps it still uses digital zoom
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
It turns out that when the Record Video is set to 4K at 120 fps, you lose the 5x telephoto setting.
Going back to 4K at 60 fps restored this capability.

I have no problems using the 5x telephoto to record a video on my iPhone 16 Pro with the included Camera app. Have you tried restarting your iPhone?
Try restarting and checking your iPhones settings.

Same here. I did try restarting the phone. 5x telephoto is unavailable for video and cinematic recording but is available for slo-mo and time-lapse. This is disconcerting and I wonder why when I google this issue only this page comes up.
nice to see the issue resolved
