Research direction

Reproduce the issue by selecting a zoom level, opening the gallery or backgrounding the app, and returning to the camera. Trace the camera entry point and zoom-state restoration to find why the indicator differs from the actual zoom. Done means the indicator shows 1 when the camera has returned to 1 after either flow, with the existing camera behavior preserved.
