Fancy being able to Zoom with your lovely Nokia N9 during Video Recording ? WELL NOW YOU CAN !!! 4 Steps is all it takes :

 Enable developer mode (Settings> Security> Developer Mode) if not already done.  

• Download the file camera.conf
• Open Terminal and enable root access :
  • devel-su
  • password : rootme
• Copy the downloaded file in the etc directory:
  • cp /home/user/MyDocs/camera.conf /etc/camera.conf
• Restart the device.

It 'can zoom both with the top bar like the pictures, both with the volume buttons.

To remove this tweak just delete the file by repeating the procedure from step 2 to step 5 and just type this command:

rm /etc/camera.conf
