P30 Pro: overexposing and using digital zoom for 5x

Hi everyone,

In general I have been very impressed by my P30 Pro. However, I have two significant camera issues.

1. Outdoors, the camera seems to get the initial exposure/ HDR right, but it becomes way overexposed after just 2 seconds, with or without AI on. Please see my video (excuse the vertical orientation): https://youtu.be/83yNJq76fDM

2. When taking 5x zoom pics in low(ish) light, it seems the phone is reverting to the main camera and uses 5x digital zoom. I understand the wider aperture makes it brighter, but is there anyway of preventing this? If I click 5x zoom, I want to use 5x optical zoom, no questions asked.
