    Thanks a lot – you’ve saved me a lot of frustration with this feature. Isn’t it annoying when a feature you depend on just disappears…….

    New zoom sucks!!

  • Miško

    Thanks! It works…

  • Steve.Rand

    Yup, thanks. I should probably have tried that myself.. but I was tapping like I did before IOS5 but it wouldn’t show… pinching kinda makes sense, but will suck when you’re taking pictures one-handed (bike riding, fishing etc…) oh well!

  • Mike T

    Amazingly simple – I thought I lost the zoom by upgrading to 5.0.1.  Thanks

    I tried the pinch with 2 fingers, doesn’t do anything, any idea what’s wrong?

      you need at least ios5 for that to work. if you have ios4 or less then there is a little zoom bar at the bottom

        Thanks jonathan you’r the best, you have so many good tutorials on apple stuff.
        Just to add, in ios4 if the zoom bar is missing you need to touch the screen at the bottom for it to appear.
