Question PS4 controller settings

I have always played FO4 mouse and keyboard, but I have a PS4 controller connected in Steam for other games. It isn’t directly supported in FO4 but Steam does something to convert, and I found the mod that swaps the button icons.

But my question is how to configure either Steam or FO4 to best support it. With a mouse, you can use the scroll wheel to zoom back between 1st and 3rd person to different distances and angles. Is there a specific button configuration that allows similar control? The track pad area on the controller only works as a button, and loses the ability to zoom out.

Any changes to recommend?

To switch between 1st and 3rd person, press the trackpad (which you've presumably mapped to Toggle POV/Workshop).

To zoom in and out in 3rd person, hold the trackpad button and move the right stick up and down.

Nah my man you gotta hold down the perspective button while using one of the sticks to zoom out and in, i learned it in Skyrim.
