Hi there! I’d love to help you with the zoom issue you’re experiencing in the Fjorden Camera app on your Mac running OS X 10.15.7. Could you tell me a little more about how the zoom acts erratically? For example, is it jumping around suddenly, not responding when you use the zoom controls, or zooming in and out by itself? Also, are you using any additional hardware like the Fjorden Grip or just the app on its own?

Once I have these details, I can guide you through some steps to fix the problem. Meanwhile, a good first step is to close the Fjorden Camera app completely and restart it. You can do this by right-clicking the app icon in the dock and selecting Quit, then re-launching it. This usually clears minor glitches.

Let me know what you observe about the zoom behavior and if you’ve tried restarting the app already!

Will not stop zooming when control is released

Thanks for the extra detail—that continuous zooming after you release the control definitely sounds like something we want to fix right away.

Since you’re on a Mac running OS X 10.15.7, here’s a step-by-step approach to troubleshoot this zoom behavior in the Fjorden Camera app:

1. Check for Stuck Inputs: Sometimes, the zoom control (like a scroll wheel, trackpad gesture, or external accessory) might be sending continuous signals if it’s stuck or malfunctioning. Try disconnecting any external devices (like the Fjorden Grip or a mouse) and use the app’s on-screen controls to see if the issue persists.

2. Restart the App: Completely quit the Fjorden Camera app (right-clicking the icon and selecting Quit) and reopen it. This clears potential temporary glitches.

3. Update the App: Make sure your Fjorden Camera app is updated to the latest version. Updates often include bug fixes for issues like this.

4. Reset App Settings: Some apps have settings or preferences to control zoom behavior. Check in the app preferences for any “zoom smoothing” or sensitivity settings, and try resetting these to defaults.

5. Check for OS-level Gestures: Your Mac’s trackpad or mouse settings sometimes influence zoom gestures. Go to System Preferences > Trackpad (or Mouse) and temporarily disable gestures related to zooming or scrolling, then test the app again.

6. Consider Reinstalling: If the issue remains, uninstall Fjorden Camera completely and reinstall it fresh. This can fix corrupt files or settings causing the problem.

If you happen to be using the Fjorden Grip accessory, there’s also a known request from users to disable the zoom control entirely because accidental touches cause similar issues. While the option is not standard yet, I can check if there’s a hidden setting or a firmware update to help here7 9.

Could you let me know if you’re using any external hardware like a grip or controller with Fjorden Camera? Also, have you tried any of the above steps already? This will help me tailor my advice better.

Is there a known bug with Fjorden app zoom control?

Thanks for asking about a known bug with the Fjorden Camera app zoom control from October 2023. Based on the latest available reports and community discussions, there doesn't appear to be a widely acknowledged or officially confirmed bug specifically related to the zoom control continuously zooming after releasing the control in the Fjorden Camera app as of late 2023.

There are some user concerns and feature requests about zoom control behavior, especially involving the Fjorden Grip accessory and zoom lever, but no direct mention of a continuous zooming bug like the one you're experiencing4 2.

Given this, the issue might be isolated or related to your specific hardware or software setup. I recommend the troubleshooting steps I outlined earlier, including checking input devices, updating the app, and resetting preferences.

If the problem persists, you could contact Fjorden support directly at [email protected] or through their community forums for more tailored assistance.

Would you like me to guide you through any of those troubleshooting steps again or assist in contacting Fjorden support?

Are there user reviews discussing zoom problems in Fjorden app?

I found some user reviews that mention zoom issues with the Fjorden Camera app. One reviewer on the App Store says that when they use the zoom lever in auto mode, the zoom sometimes won't stop and gets stuck on the last lens position, making it pretty unusable for them. This sounds very similar to the continuous zooming issue you're experiencing5.

Other reviews generally praise the app and grip ergonomics but do not focus heavily on the zoom problem specifically. It looks like this zoom control behavior has been noticed by at least a few users, especially in auto mode.

Based on this, it seems the zoom control glitch isn’t entirely isolated but also not widespread enough to be a confirmed bug officially acknowledged yet.

Would you like help with some further troubleshooting or tips to work around this? If you’re using the zoom lever in auto mode, trying manual zoom mode or adjusting app settings might help reduce the issue. Let me know!

Are there user reviews discussing zoom problems in Fjorden app?

Are there user reviews discussing zoom problems in Fjorden app?

Thanks for your patience! Yes, there are user reviews discussing zoom problems in the Fjorden Camera app. One review on the Apple App Store mentions that the zoom feature “seems broken” because when using the zoom lever in auto mode, the zoom sometimes won’t stop and then gets stuck on the last lens position, making the app pretty unusable for that user5.

This aligns with the continuous zooming issue you described. While it’s not a widespread complaint, it has appeared enough in individual reviews to be noted.

Would you like me to guide you through some specific workarounds or troubleshooting steps to try next? Or help escalate this to Fjorden support for further investigation?

How to troubleshoot zoom issues in Fjorden Camera app?

Hi! To troubleshoot zoom issues in the Fjorden Camera app on your Mac running OS X 10.15.7, here’s a clear step-by-step guide:

1. Restart the App: Sometimes simply closing the Fjorden Camera app completely and reopening it can fix temporary glitches. On your Mac, right-click the app icon in the dock and choose Quit, then launch it again.

2. Disconnect External Devices: If you’re using external controls like the Fjorden Grip or a mouse, disconnect them temporarily. Sometimes stuck or malfunctioning inputs can cause the zoom to act erratically.

3. Check for App Updates: Make sure you have the latest version of the Fjorden Camera app. Developers often release updates that fix bugs such as problematic zoom behavior.

4. Adjust Zoom Mode: If you’re using auto zoom mode, try switching to manual zoom mode in the app settings. Some users have reported better control and less erratic zoom in manual mode.

5. Check Trackpad or Mouse Settings: On your Mac, go to System Preferences > Trackpad (or Mouse) and temporarily disable zoom-related gestures. This prevents your system from interpreting unintentional pinch-to-zoom or scroll gestures that may interfere.

6. Reset App Preferences: If the app has options for zoom sensitivity or smoothing, resetting these to default can help.

7. Reinstall the App: If none of the above helps, uninstall Fjorden Camera completely and reinstall it fresh to clear potential corrupted files.

If the problem continues, this might be a more specific hardware-related issue or a rare software bug. You can also reach out to Fjorden’s support team at [email protected] for specialized assistance.

Fjorden app user complaints zoom

Thanks for asking about user complaints on zoom functionality in the Fjorden Camera app. From what I've found, some users have reported issues specifically with the zoom lever, especially when used in auto mode. For instance, a common complaint is that the zoom feels a bit flimsy and, more importantly, that the zoom lever sometimes gets stuck or doesn’t stop zooming properly, which can make zoom control frustrating. This has appeared in reviews on the Apple App Store2.

Additionally, a few users mentioned that the zoom control works automatically with Fjorden and certain camera apps like Pro Camera but found it doesn’t integrate well with others like Lightroom1.

Overall, while many reviewers praise the grip and camera accessories, zoom control glitches remain one of the more frequent points of user concern.

If you're facing this specific zoom problem, I’d recommend trying some troubleshooting steps like restarting the app, disconnecting external accessories, and switching to manual zoom mode in the app settings, which can sometimes help work around these issues. I’m here to guide you through any of these if you’d like!

Are you using the zoom lever mainly in auto mode or manual mode? That might help me tailor the advice better.
