Issue: In the Shopify Dawn theme, clicking a product image opens it so large it fills the entire page. The store owner wants a smaller enlarged view.
Proposed fix: Change the product image zoom behavior in Theme Editor. Path: Themes > Customize > Product template (top dropdown) > Product information > Image Zoom. Switching away from “Image lightbox” (full‑screen overlay) to another zoom type is suggested.
Counterpoints: Others argue this doesn’t solve the core problem because images display at their original size (often ~3000 px), which is too large to view product details comfortably. They note the suggested setting change doesn’t address mobile, where both “click and hover” and “lightbox” perform poorly.
Assets: Screenshots show the oversized lightbox result and the Theme Editor settings panel used to change zoom behavior.
Status: No confirmed resolution. One actionable step (change Image Zoom type) is provided, but concerns remain about image sizing and mobile usability, with no agreed-upon solution yet.
To fix this go to Themes> Customize> Product Template (from top dropdown options)> Product Information > Image Zoom
Then change the type from the list of options. It is set to image lightbox currently that is why it takes up the page.
Hope that helps!
