I confirm that the zoom bug mentionned in https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/issues/3027 is fixed with this PR. It also fixed a similar issue with exposure.

Thanks a lot @ShivamKJJW 🙏🏻

Does this only affect zoom? Isn't this a CameraX bug then?

[mrousavy]

I appreciate the PR, but I don't want to monkey-patch broken behaviour in CameraX - this will lead to an unmaintainable mess.

We should rather file a bug report in CameraX and wait for a fix there.

I am not sure either that it is a bug from CameraX module itself. It seems that whenever camera state changes, the extra props needs to be set again if a custom behaviour is needed. By default camera initialises with the default zoom level of the device. Seems to be default android behaviour.
