Ahhh, this issue has come back to Arma 3? I had that happen in Arma 2 and the only way to fix it was to restart the mission.. Hah..

You can go back to normal mode, but as I mentioned the zoom will be stuck at fully zoomed in when you return to optics.

I've had this problem, but have been unable to find a way to stop the stuck zoom. Changing to a new vehicle will fix it but that's not always an option.
Definite steps to reproduce this issue:
- get into hunter OR IFRIT with hmg or gmg,
- move to gunner position.
- while holding "lock or zoom" (right click or bound to any other key), activate the gun camera.
You will need to bind "lock or zoom" or "optics" in a way that allows you to press "optics" while already holding "lock or zoom".
observe that gun cam is now zoomed in completely and can not be zoomed out.

reproduced with sarlac's steps.
the problem is with the zoom function of "Lock or Zoom" key.

Strange. I tested it with an Ifrit HMG just now and this bug is still there. I'm using the Dev build too.

This issue has been around since Arma 1.
It affects all vehicle positions that allow the zoom to be smoothly increased/decreased (and the zoom holds at that level). Positions with stepped zoom levels are not affected.

This issue still persists, there is no way to fix it once it occurs. I should not however it is vehicle specific, you can go into a new vehicle and the zoom is reset to normal.

I can confirm that this is still an issue. Even if "zoom temporary" is mapped to other keys, pressing Zoom Temporary immediately after pressing the key to enter the gun camera/sight will cause a state of being permanently zoomed all the way in.
I know of a few other people that also have this issue.
This is always reproducible. Even in single player with no mods.

I was stucked in different zoom positions in my last multiplayer games...
seemed random when it happens.
after some tries i could get out again.
first i thought it was connection and server issues, but my connection is ok, and the eutw servers are good too.

More details. The optical sight is jammed at maximum resolution. Occurs with some optical sights on turrets and cars, where there is a smooth zoom.

This happens when the 3D view is turned on + the "temporary zoom" key is clamped and the "optics" key is pressed.
After the optical sight is stuck at maximum magnification, it is impossible to return the functionality of changing the multiplicity on the optical sight, in the equipment where it happened.
Steps To Reproduce
editor create a hunter (strider) with a machine gun (grenade launcher), or any stationary turret .... sit in the place of the arrow turn on the view from the third person press and hold the key - "temporary increase" press the key - "optical sight" try changing the magnification of the optical sight (+ \ -)
