Take photo with all zooms
I am relatively new to using shortcuts - most are just setup so I can voice control lights in my home via the homepods. I would like to try and make more use of them.
I now have a 17 Pro Max and one of the ideas I had is to have the action button do things based on the app that is open. Whilst I have not fully worked out what I want in all, I have for a long time wanted to be able to take the same photo, but with each of the zooms on my camera.
I have looked at scripting and I seem to have a limited options for what I can do for the camera, am I missing something or trying to oversimplify the following?
If open app is Camera
Set camera zoom to 0.5
Take 1 photo
Set zoom to 1
Take 1 photo
Set camera zoom to 2
Take 1 photo
Set zoom to 4
Take 1 photo
Set camera zoom to 8
Take 1 photo
Set zoom to 24
Take 1 photo
Set zoom to 48
Take 1 photo
