iPhone 4S Default Camera Zoom Settings

The native iOS Camera app on the iPhone 4S does not have a setting to change the default zoom level. When you open the Camera app, it will always reset to the standard 1x wide-angle view. To zoom in, you must manually use the pinch-to-zoom gesture on the screen or slide the zoom bar after the app has launched. If you require a specific zoom level to be saved, you might consider searching for third-party camera apps on the App Store, though compatibility may be limited as the iPhone 4S is capped at iOS 9.3.6.
