Telephoto camera cannot be used to record video Iphone 16 Pro

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.
