How can I configure Bridge zoom?

When I am reviewing images (by tapping the space bar on a thumbnail) I want to zoom in a bit. When I left click, the image it s-l-o-w-l-y zooms WAY, WAY in. Then when I click again it s-l-o-w-l-y zooms out, which takes FOREVER!!!  Isn't there a way to control the zoom so I can enlarge it to the size I want it, and not have it take a zillion years to do so??

      I find that the mouse scroll wheel does it for me.  Bridge may get its setting from Photoshop Preferences; Zoom with scroll wheel.

      Most stupid thing is that ACR (which is a part of the Photoshop CC package, like Bridge is) has the perfect zoom function, You just click on what You want to have a closer look at, and drag until You have the zoom level You want, then it zoom in where You have clicked initially, to whatever level You want....

      Clicking and mouse scrolling JUMPS around in the image, anywhere but where You click....;- /

          I think you might have the caps lock on.

            I agree with this. I wish bridge had more zoom settings than fit to screen, 100 percent and 200 percent +. Would be nice to have more zoom percents inbetween 0 to 100 percent like photoshop gives you on its popout menus like liquify, or other filters.

              You can also zoom in and out using plus ( + ) and minus ( - ) keys.

                That worked, thank you, although it only allowed me a couple of options for sizing the zoom. It's a shame that Bridge lacks the sophistication of Lightroom's zoom, where you can configure it with much greater precision.
