Manual controls for Studio Display Camera?

Is there any way to zoom in *manually* using the camera on Studio Display? Even using Center Stage the camera is very wide angle and shows far too much of my room and torso. Is there a way to adjust the zoom manually? Supposedly these were to be released in Sonoma but I am using Sonoma and am not seeing any way to control the adjustment to my preferences (like one can with a cheap webcam and would expect in a high end monitor)

Did they end up removing this feature? I remember that it used to be available in the first versions of Sonoma (even in the first betas), but then it got removed and even though I see a "hand" icon when I place the cursor over my camera, I cannot manually adjust the camera anymore. It does work if I'm using an iPhone external camera, but it doesn't seem to be working with the Studio Display camera anymore even though I'm using the most up-to-date Sonoma version, and my firmware is updated.


Am I the only one, or is anyone able to manually adjust the camera? Even the sliders to reduce or increase the zoom doesn't seem to be working as they did in the first betas.
