Abstract
A method in an electronic device includes detecting, with a flexible display carried by a blade assembly that is slidably coupled to a device housing and movable between at least an extended position and a retracted position, user input defining a zoom gesture while an image capture application is operating on one or more processors of the electronic device. The method then includes translating, by a translation mechanism operable with the blade assembly, the blade assembly toward the extended position in response to an expanding zoom gesture and translating the blade assembly toward the retracted position in response to a contracting zoom gesture.
