It crashes badly when zooming on iPhone 17 Pro

8x zoom for the iPhone 17 Pro/Max: this is the first time an Apple smartphone has reached such a high level of camera zoom, and the brand is quite proud to remind us of it. iPhone 17 Pro/Max ad, demonstration of the crash zoom feature. For illustration, a funny little ad "shot on an iPhone" highlights this particular feature, making extensive use of a cinematic technique called crash zoom, which is an extremely rapid zoom from a wide shot to a small detail in the scene, usually a close-up of a face. A bit cheap, but effective if used sparingly. As a reminder, the iPhone 17 Pro/Max camera module has three 48MP Fusion lenses, including this famous 8x optical zoom telephoto lens, compared to the 5x lens of the iPhone 16 Pro. Also noteworthy is compatibility with ProRes Raw, Apple Log 2, and Genlock formats.
