    Hi there! so i'm experiencing this issue, even if the camera is confined you can use a script to zoom in/out (increasing or decreasing the orthographic size of the lens) OUT of the confiner.

    Is there any way to prevent this? maybe checking of the new orthographic size exceeds the confiner? thanks!

    Hi
    The new CinemachineConfiner2D extension will respect orthographic size changes. Use that instead of CinemachineConfiner with 2D mode.

    Finally, the package manager didn't show the correct latest version, i've updated to 2.7.3, sadly it still doesn't confine the camera if i change the orthographic size as it supposed to do...

    Could you send some images of what's happening and what you'd like to happen?

    The CinemachineConfiner2D confines the camera's position, not the ortho size. Ortho size is an input to the confiner. Clamping the ortho size itself is something that you will have to implement on your own.

    I am trying to do something similar with zoom in/out by adjusting the orthographic size. Could you explain how to clamp the orthographic size if the new one extends past the confiner?

    That's difficult to do in a general way. What does "extends past the confiner" mean in the case of a complex polygon as a confining shape? Maybe one good approach is to markup your game areas with maximum ortho size values in each of the areas, and have a script that clamps it according to those values.
