Hello!

I was just wondering if somebody knows if is possible to zoom in when trying to scan a barcode from a perspective app.

We have some targets far way that we would like to scan with a tablet but they are so far away that a little zoom in may help to get the scan done.

Thanks!

Will the image resolution not be the same - just cropped and magnified? What device / OS does the table use?

yes, I'll provide more context. when using the actual camera app on a let say iphone iOS 17.6.1 to scan a QR code, I can zoom in to the code, press the screen so the camera can focus on it, I can even lower the exposure of the camera if the reflection of the code is too bright, etc. I'm not saying I would like to have all the camera functionality, but when using the perspective app with the barcode read event, it opens the camera with a white square that can be modified in its size, but nothing else, the focus on that is fixed and the zoom is fixed so the camera is having a hard time focusing on a far away QR Code.
