Description

**Describe the bug**
When I start the camera with "enableZoom: true", take 1 photo, put the app in the background and then resume it, the app crashes.

**To Reproduce**
1. Start the camera with "enableZoom: true"
2. Put the app in the background and resume it → App does not crash
3. Take a photo

If one repeats the steps above with "enableZoom: false" the app does not crash.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Android sequence in the issue: enable zoom, take a photo, background the app, and resume it. Trace the camera resume path and zoom handling around that sequence; done means resuming after a captured photo no longer crashes with enableZoom true, while enableZoom false remains unaffected.
