FYI -If you press and hold the Function (Fn) Button on the side when you have the magnetic lights and built-in turned on, it will turn on ONLY the built-in light. If you press it when the lights are off, it will turn on ONLY the magnetic mount lights! Not sure why you would want this, but options are always a good thing.

I just bought this Gimbal. On my samsung Galaxy s20 this is the case: In the Stacam app I can choose between the regular lens and the ultrawide lens (and selfie lens) . The telephoto lens is not an option. When zooming it seems like the app does not switch between lenses but zooms digitally. On the other Zhiyun app - ZY Cami - only the regular lens and selfie lens are available. You can also use the phones regular camera app or another camera app. Then you can switch between lenses and use the one you want, but you have to do it from the phone screen. The gimbal can only controll start stop recording/take photo in my samsung camera app. The zoom wheel does not work there. All this might be different on another phone model, I have only tested it on my s20.
