I am interested in buying the huawei P40 pro+ or mate 40 pro+ purely for their 240mm focal length lenses (to replace my s7 edge). Reason being I hate the facial distortion that occurs with shorter focal length lenses
How would i go about ensuring my pictures are taken with the 240mm lens?
This question could be extended to all cameras with multiple lens AND multiple telephoto lenses. I assume when your only lenses are wide, ultra wide and telephoto simply switching to portrait mode should work... but these huawei phones have 2 telephoto lenses (240 & 80mm focal length).
Any idea or help?

This question is especially for the S8+ and upcoming S9 or new iphone. The sensor on the telephoto lens is always much smaller and quality much worse than the main lens so far.
Also, any luck on whether S9 will support 4k60p at h265?
Any comments?
Well, when you zoom in, you lose some quality by "cropping" the incoming light. Resolution is dependant on sensor, but if you zoom in you are taking a smaller portion of the scene that you see, if you get my point. It's not that tey don't want to, it's just physically much harder to make a zoom camera the same quality as a wide angle camera on such a small form as a smartphone camera.
Enthusiast cameras can have variable focal length lenses, they have complex lens combination that are physically adjustable (so called tele photo), when you 'zoom' there's no loss of resolution.
All cameras on mobile phones are to my knowledge fixed focal length lenses, the only zoom is digital which as Ertogrul implies reduces resolution.
Digital zoom is very much the poor relation in terms of image quality, but then we get what we pay for and a good tele photo camera lens will typically cost considerably more than any high end phone will cost.

So I just received my OP 7 Pro. I love it to this point, though I am still evaluating whether I can adjust to the curved screen. But my question is about the telephoto lens:
We know that the lens is actually a 12 MP 2.2x telephoto lens. The 8 MP 3x pictures the OP camera app produces is a bit of cropping and software zooming. Is there a way - either in the OP camera app itself, GCAM, or some other trick to use the lens as it is actually a designed? A 12 MP telephoto picture at 2.2x zoom?
Thanks...
its an 8 megapixel telephoto lens

It crops the 12mp/2.2x zoom image to output an equivalent 8mp/3x zoom image. Just look at the differences in zoom between the portrait mode and the regular "3x" zoom option. Both are using the same lens.

And hence my question. Is there a way to capture the true 12 mp 2.2x zoom image without the OP "magic" of making it 3x zoom. Maybe I'd prefer to crop to a different area of the 12 mp photo?
Just wondering. But I'd like maximum flexibility in camera shooting options...
I know that it will be 2.2x with gcam, or with portrait mode in the oneplus app. I haven't used gcam for a while so I can't find you the latest links and downloads. But hope this info would help
Just curious to get a estimation for how good macro photo's can look on the p40 pro, so im wondering about how much minimum distance is required for these two lenses to have a object in full focus.
does anyone know or can check?
10cm and you can use x3.5 zoom and still looks like macro without loose quality.
Hard to do screen with knock to get still sharp screen
what about the telephoto lens? perhaps you can make even better macro's with it.
I mailed huawei, they say for the p40 pro+ it is 240mm for the telephoto lens as the minimum focus distance.
I am very much doubting that this is correct haha.
Hey,
I was really wondering if the back cameras are actually helping the picture quality at all.
I have tried using different camera apps and covering some of the lenses and the picture/video quality seems always to be the same even if it's only 1 lense uncovered.
Can someone confirm/deny?
IMHO pretty useless, but you should see difference in portrait mode, where background is blurry when additional modules work and sharp when are covered.
Uhm.... you have 3 Back Cameras.
1 is Normal Mode 48mp or rather 12mp with Quad Bayer raster.
2 is wide Angle which has bigger FoV
3 is Macro Lens.
And only one camera is used at a time.
Only exception is the ToF Sensor that looks like a camera but only brings Depth infos for focus.
IMHO best Camera Quality comes with Google Camera mod and a custom XML.

Hi new member here.
Is anyone else having issues with the camera on the s22 exynos? Just zooming in a little makes the camera so blurry and pixelated. The zoom on my friends s21 ultra is so much better which makes me think I may have a faulty device. I reset all settings in the camera app but that didn't improve anything.
Try a hard reboot and clear the system cache.
If the former solves it may still be a hardware issue if it keeps reoccurring.

How much are you zooming in? The camera is 10x optical. Anything beyond 10x is digital zoom which results in pixelated images. Digital zoom is nothing more than cropping the image. Also, as you zoom in, it makes it harder to hold the phone/camera steady; which can cause motion blur.
[COLOR=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.870588235294118)]The camera is not 10x optical.The phone has a 10x lens where 10x mean 10 times the zoom of the main lens. And it has a 3x optical zoom (periscope lens, capable to 30x, referred to primary lens)
