Might be a dumb question but is there a wide angle option when on portrait mode? I don't see any options on the camera app.

In portrait mode the Ultra switches to 2x camera so no wide angle I think.

Yes, a friend told me that wide angle on portrait mode works on Gcam though.

Hi there,
Just bought a pixel, still on the way.
Wanted to know whether this phone has the portrait mode just like iphone 7 plus which can produce beautiful depth.
Lens Blur makes it not easy to take such a portrait photo.
Portrait mode uses two cameras to produce depth. Pixel only has one camera.
Unfortunately for you, lens blur is the only option, unless you add blur through editing.
well noted. thank you mate

Maybe I'm confused here, but I thought when I hit 2X in the camera app it is supposed to switch to the the telephoto lens. I covered both cameras and under 2X Mode and the same camera is used. However, in Live Focus Mode, I can cover both cameras and there is difference. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong in 2X mode?
Nevermind, found my answer.
Apparently in low light situations the wide angle F1.7 len is used whereas in better lighting, the F2.4 Tele is used. Should be a manual setting IMO

Hi,
I was sure that the dual camera setup on this phone is that one camera has a wide angle at 27mm, and the second camera is a telephoto (zoom) at 52mm.
I was also sure that clicking the x1/x2 zoom button on the camera app will switch between the cameras, based on the mentioned above...but it doesnt.
Ive tried covering the left camera with my finger, and clicking the zoom button, and it still uses the camera on the right for both x1 and x2 zoom.
What am I missing here?

Enough light then the secondary camera will be used for 2x zoom. Otherwise, it's always the main camera. You can test it using manual mode to ensure that the secondary camera really works. It surely is used in portrait mode, it can't be processed instantly otherwise.

So if there is enough light, the zoom is optical, otherwise the zoom is digital?

You can say so. The telephoto lens ****ty pixel size and dark aperture really suck in low light.
Hi,
So the Nokia 7 plus is supposed to have a Secondary telephoto lens for 2x optical zoom. But there is no way(not that I am aware of) in the Nokia camera app to use that lens.
There is a button for 2x zoom in the camera interface. But when you click that the secondary camera is not used. It is digitally zooms with the primary lens.
I was curious if the telephoto lens is actually being used or not, so i clicked different pictures with 1x and 2x zoom and when I compared the info of the pictures, both the 1x as well as 2x pictures were using the same 12.2MP/f1.8 lens.
simpler confirmation, switch 2x button and put your thumb on second lens
This makes the secondary lens just a decoration if you can't use it. (unless for the portrait shots, which I don't think is very convenient, but that's another story).
Am I missing something here? Is there a way to use the optical zoom features or is Nokia missing so something.
I have attached pictures I took.

It indeed uses second lens when you click 1x button. The metadata is added by camera software. If what you say is true, it's just a bug in the camera software where it just stamps the first lens info on all photos.

@spark25 The camera app has been using only the primary camera for me since I bought the device, and 2x mode is digital zoom. Even in the latest camera update. The only place where telephoto activates is the portrait (bokeh) mode.
Maybe they will utilize it in Pie, as it includes multi-camera api so there could be smooth transition between the two camera streams.
Edit: It does use the telephoto camera lens when there is a good lighting.

Try putting your thumb on the secondary lens when zooming.

Yes, and more solid confirmation :highfive:
Noisy shots on bokeh mode
Can someone confirm if pictures taken from the bokeh mode turn out too noisy and pixelated? The picture is very grainy and loses everything on zooming in.
The tele Lens only activates under certain conditions, when it can focus on far objects with good lighting otherwise it will use the normal lens with smaller aperture.
The secondary camera only works under certain conditions and I can confirm that if you your place the finger in front of it it just digitally zooms. It probably works only in good lighting.

The 2x Tele Lens only works when there's a good amount of light is available. (Since, photos taken with 2x Lens is bad at dark)
However, there's a trick that works sometimes:
Point your camera with with 2x Zoom at a bright white spot(area) or a bright white wall, the software will automatically switch into 2x Tele lens.
Keep in mind, using 2x Lens at dark doesn't give good results. The photos quality is worse at dark with 2x Lens (because of grainy and dark pictures)
i like to take close up shot alot. i think there is no dedicated super macro mode or switch to ai macro mode. some youtubers comfirmed that. is this a software thing or hardware limitation ?

the larger sensor means a larger lens and more complications for the wide angle lens, so it should be a hardware limitation due to the new sensor
I don't see any macro mode on my M30P, sadly it was present on my M20P
I hop an update will bring it back

Don't think so. The lens structure is different and it is design with video in mind hence u don't have the extreme zoom and micro mode of the p30 series and the previous mate series
