      • All scanner components have been switched to zoom ratio (values 1x, 2x, etc.) instead of linear zoom (from 0 to 1). Methods renamed: SetOpticalZoomRange() -> SetPhysicalZoomRange(), SetOpticalZoomLevel() -> SetPhysicalZoomRatio() in ScanbotCameraXView, DocumentScannerView, BarcodeScanAndCountView and BarcodeScannerView. setPhysicalZoomRange() and setPhysicalZoomRatio() accept possible zoom values from 0.5x up to 100x. NOTE: if the value sent to the camera is out of range for a specific device's capabilities, then the camera will try to set the max or min possible for that specific device. eg. Zoom 100x will only work on some high-end Samsung devices, whereas other devices will only have 12x-30x max. The same goes for minimum supported values, 0.5x is a wide-format camera module that does not exist on many Android devices.
