the zoom slider bar is no longer showing on my camera for iphone 4

either double tap your screen, or pinch to zoom and the bar will show.

I have tried 50 times to get the Zoom Slider to appear on my new iPhone 5.

It *never* does.

I pinch in, out, round and round. I pinch fast, slow, medium. I am gentle, I am rough, shout, I shake, I tap, I touch, I pull, I push, I squeeze, I rotate, I caress.

NOTHING WORKS

No Zoom Slider under any circumstances. Believe me, I have tried everything.

Make sure you are on the still image camera and not the video camera, the video camera will not have the zoom option.

The Zoom Slider appears ONLY to work during CAPTURE mode, when the camera is focusing BEFORE you take a picture.

Somehow, that was not explained anywhere by anyone.
