PS5 new manual camera settings not sticking

Ps5
After the update today the new manual camera zoom setting is not retaining its position.
Ground camera seems fine, maybe one time today was it out of position.
EVERY time I go to sector space the camera is zoomed out to max. You can try to adjust it. Sometimes a few seconds after you do, it will zoom out to max on its own. Sometimes it won't. Sometimes after you start moving it will zoom out on its own. Not a stick drift issue, verified. Regardless, of the distance you left the camera at, when you return to sector space from wherever,the camera will be zoomed all the way out again.
Almost every time I go to system space, the camera is zoomed all the way in. You can try to adjust it. Same as above applies. Going in and out of system space, sometimes it does remember the distance you left the camera at, sometimes it's zoomed all the way in again. Entering system space seems sporadic weither or not camera will remember the distance you left it at.
The cycle camera option still seems to work, going between 3 positions. It's seems like you can adjust each position manually, up and down on right stick, but the camera does not retain these settings in either sector or system space after update today. I understand we can manually adjust camera distance on right stick and we can still cycle preset distance by pressing "X" (on ps5) like it has been for years, but game is not keeping the settings as we transition between sector and system space.
In sector space the camera is always starts zoomed out to max, in system space the camera starts probably zoomed in to max.
After checking with as many as would constructively answer me in game and other places, it seems to be an issue on PS5. The majority of ps4 players said they had no such above issues, but I can't say for sure if it is exclusive to ps5. I am playing with framerate limit off, issue still happening either way.
While I deeply appreciate the manual camera zoom feature being added, there is a bug now happening where the camera will not remember the position the user set it at after they leave that "space" (sector or system).
Having to fiddle with the camera distance every time you enter sector space, or every time you enter system space, or start or come into the middle of an active TFO, is not even remotely a good thing.
I hope the devs address this new bug post haste.

However, like those posting above and in the Xbox section, the setting just doesn't save.
When accessing the camera zoom settings, we have three controls:
Surely there should also be
I know nothing about coding but I thought this would be on the easy side of a fix.
Nowadays, I mostly log in with binoculars at hand just so I can see my ship - although yesterday my eyeballs were up the impulse exhaust!!
Now, as also stated in the Xbox forums, whenever we load into a ground side area, the camera is usually zoomed out to max. Camera is now no longer reliably sticking on ground side camera.
So, if anything, the Feb 6 console patch, which was supposed to fix camera issues caused by Dec 19 patch, has actually made things worse.
