H5: How to use auto-stabilize on Sniper mid-air?

So I’ve recently disabled auto-stabilize on my settings, something a lot of pros and good players recommend. I prefer the freedom in this, but how do I auto-stabilize with the Sniper Rifle while zooming in? When I auto-stabilize manually, it simultaneously zooms in the sniper rifle even more, which is what I don’t want.

Out of curiosity what button layout are you using?

I’m using default settings, so I use the sprint button to auto-stabilize manually

Yeah I use default controls with auto-stabilise turned off. I think you have to adapt to a different control scheme. Or you can zoom in while on the ground so you’re at 9x then when you stabilize you go back to 4x and vise versa when you want 9x zoom?
