Apple iOS 7 users will finally have the luxury of zooming in on video subjects while recording, it has emerged.
Following whispers and speculation over the last couple of days, videos have appeared from developers testing the new feature within the first beta release of the new, rethought mobile operating system.
Apple Insider is among those posting videos, claiming the feature is fluid and works in the same way as with stills photos.
"Simply place two fingers on the screen, and expand them to zoom in, or pinch them closer together to zoom back out," the site wrote.
Tap-to-focus coming too
The confirmation follows reports earlier this week that the feature would be included. The iDownload blog also posted that a slide appears to assist zooms once you've started to zone in on the target.
That site bemoaned the lack of a persistent slider, but as this is only the first beta of iOS 7 there's a chance one will be added before the consumer version debuts this autumn.
Alongside mid-video zooms users will also be able to tap to focus on subjects during the recording, the site wrote.
