Your Nest camera stuck on zoomed in view? It may be due to Enhanced Mode setting. Here’s how to disable it!
By default, Nest camera record wide-angles to have maximum coverage.
So, if your Nest camera is no longer recording wide angle and is always zoomed in, it means at some point, you have adjusted the camera’s zoom settings, or enabled Enhance Mode.
When the Enhance mode is enabled, your Nest camera only records narrow angle views (zoomed in) as you see in the live view.
To unzoom the camera view to restore it back to default wide angle view, you need to disable Enhance Mode.
