Panzoom library and filling a div with a centered image

The Panzoom library (https://timmywil.com/panzoom/demo/) allows you to move and zoom an image in a div:

var panzoom1 = Panzoom(document.querySelector(".zoom-area1"), {
  maxScale: 6
});
document.querySelector(".zoom-wrapper1").addEventListener("wheel", panzoom1.zoomWithWheel);


var panzoom2 = Panzoom(document.querySelector(".zoom-area2"), {
  maxScale: 6
});
document.querySelector(".zoom-wrapper2").addEventListener("wheel", panzoom2.zoomWithWheel);

.main-container {
  display: flex;
}
.zoom-wrapper1 {
  width: 300px;
  height: 300px;
  border: 5px solid #1C6EA4;
}

.zoom-wrapper2 {
  width: 300px;
  height: 300px;
  border: 5px solid #1C6EA4;
}

<script src="https://timmywil.com/panzoom/demo/panzoom.js"></script>
<div class="main-container">
  <div class="zoom-wrapper1">
    <div class="zoom-area1">
      <img src="https://ironcodestudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/css-remove-horizontal-scrollbar.jpg" />
    </div>
  </div>

  <div class="zoom-wrapper2">
    <div class="zoom-area2">
      <img src="https://image.freepik.com/free-photo/vertical-view-eiffel-tower-paris-france_1258-3169.jpg" />
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Everything is working properly.

Now I would like these images to fill their divs but:

the image has to be centered vertically and horizontally
if the image has a horizontal orientation, its height cannot be higher than the height of the div
if the image has a vertical orientation, then its width cannot be greater than the div's width. Exactly like here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1znFq-EJVE4Dv2j9sc3xZUZuMH0bhRsfz/view?usp=sharing

How to do it? I'm trying different ways and I'm already running out of ideas.

I'm not sure, but I think this is ok:

var zoomWraper1 = document.querySelector(".zoom-wrapper1");
var zoomWraper2 = document.querySelector(".zoom-wrapper2");

var panzoom1 = Panzoom(document.querySelector(".zoom-area1"), {
  maxScale: 6
});
zoomWraper1.addEventListener("wheel", panzoom1.zoomWithWheel);

var panzoom2 = Panzoom(document.querySelector(".zoom-area2"), {
  maxScale: 6
});
zoomWraper2.addEventListener("wheel", panzoom2.zoomWithWheel);

panzoom1.pan(0, 0);
panzoom1.zoom(300 / document.querySelector(".zoom-area1 img").height);

panzoom2.pan(0, 0);
panzoom2.zoom(300 / document.querySelector(".zoom-area2 img").width);

body {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100vh;
}

button {
  margin-right: 20px;
}

.main-container {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    height: 100%;
}

.zoom-wrapper1 {
    width: 300px;
    height: 300px;
    border: 5px solid #1c6ea4;
  display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
}

.zoom-wrapper2 {
    width: 300px;
    height: 300px;
    border: 5px solid #1c6ea4;
  display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
}

</html>

Definitely the problem is that the zoom escapes to the sides, it is not directed to the point pointed by the mouse. This needs improvement.
