DJI Mini 3 Pro - Zoom not supported in current shooting mode

Today whilst flying my DJI Mini 3 Pro for the first time in 2 weeks I realised that the zoom, whilst shooting video is not working. However it works with stills camera. I get a message ‘Zoom not supported in current shooting mode’. My Firmware is up-to-date. Any suggestions to get it working again much appreciated.

May not zoom in 4k? Try with a lower resolution video setting.

The zoom in the Mini 3 Pro is only digital - not optical, so in many ways you are as well off doing any cropping/“zooming” in post on the 4k video, rather than using the built in digital zoom.

Don’t no much about the Mini 3 Pro but just found this on a DJI forum,

Zoom function for the Mini 3 Pro is only available in 4k 30 fps and lower. Zoom is disabled in 4k 48, 50 and 60 fps. I assume it is due to processor load.

Problem solved, thanks to you all. For some reason I noted I was shooting 4K at 50fps, dropped it down to 30fps and zoom now works. I must say though, the zoom on this model is not that great and rarely use it, but if it is there then like it to work.
