It would be really nice if a digital zoom function could be added to the camera mode. With the wide angle lens, it would be nice to be able to crop the image as needed. This could be done by turning the scroll wheel for a long time. Or think of another interaction method to rotate the camera, like a double tap on the screen.

Would be cool to have the UI show a crop boundary when scrolling the wheel vs zooming the image IMO. As you scroll up an orange border appears on the view finder and narrows as you scroll more. Providing more specific context for the prompt.

Imo the best option would be to use a standard camera flip icon on the screen, then use the scroll wheel as a digital zoom.
Its also nice to use the r1 camera in landscape and have the PTT on top like a traditional cameras button, zoom would bridge the gap from gimmick camera to something practical even more! I’ve been finding that the quality of results you get from magic camera depends on the quality of picture you take, so more control is a huge positive!

A tap to “focus” could be cool, where you indicate what the subject of the image is. As the image gets passed to the prompt builder, it would know what you were trying to take a picture of without having to weigh things like the background in so heavily.
There’s definitely been a few images I’ve had that feel like it tried to do more with the background than what I was actually trying to capture.

I’d want this too. The issue is that digital zoom just crops the images and resize them, and having such a standard quality cam In the r1 makes this kind of difficult. The quality of pics would be greatly affected when zoomed in.
This is true, but i think the Rabbit is not designed to take pictures like the smartphone. It would be useful to have a little more control over what you frame with the camera during voice commands. It would also have been nice if the camera had autofocus, as not being able to frame text up close is very limiting.

I don’t think many people would find digital zoom to be very pleasing.
I am thinking that the camera hardware in the r1 is quite standard for a phone-like device. In smartphones, though, it’s the image processing that takes really mediocre captures and makes them look sharp and vivid. The r1 doesn’t have this after-processing.
I have a Sony phone that takes really really nice photos when it’s running on its OEM Android. I am running Sailfish OS on it, though, and get really really meh photos with the exact same hardware.
