I can tell this is the case because when I watch the recording back, the entire field of view was still captured without my zoom-in.

In terms of covering the lens though, won't that just create a larger dark spot that the sensor will try to compensate for? I would imagine the sensor would "sense" majority darkness and maximize the exposure to take in more light?
Sorry, thought you had more control over the lens aperture. Ignore my idea.
