Hi,
Any methods or mods to change the camera lens on the live view mode. Actually my live focus on note 9 uses the telephoto lens. I think is much better to take Photos with the telephoto lens.
Any idea to change the camera lens for telephoto lens.
I want this too... telephoto is better to take portrait photos.
The S10 5G actually gives you the option to use the wide or the telephoto as the primary lens for the live focus mode. Maybe it will come to the S10 and S10+ too in an update?
That's a miss in S10. I need it too.

I noticed when taking regular shots it seems like the 2x button only does a digital zoom not does not actually use the telephoto lens, is this how its supposed to work ?

It's for live focus, and 2x zoom + digital zoom. Depending on quality of lighting, either telephoto or wide angle lens will be used.

Hi guys!
I was just wondering if anyone has had the chance to mess around with the Telephoto lens/algorithm to get more options or to be able to use it in Pro mode?
Or does Samsung have it locked down pretty tight? The reason I ask is that I find it odd that Samsung doesn't utilize the telephoto lens in Pro mode even scenes with more than enough light.
I was also reading an article on how the iPhone 7/8 Plus does a similar thing to what Samsung does where in lower light they use the main lens and digitally crop it but 3rd party camera apps have the ability to select between the two lenses.
Come on Samsung, open up your camera API!
Note 8 telephoto lent raw
I have the same problem... Isn't possible show in raw with the telephoto lent in pro mode.. Is there a third party app that allow to' shoot in raw with THE telephoto lent?
Just felt this needed a bump!

Hi volks and p20 pro experts,
i wonder if my 3xtelelens really works or not.
If I zoom 3x and block the 40mp lens with my fingers and let the tele lens free, I see nothing.
Also I see no noticeable better shots when shooting 5x zoom with blocking the telelens or blocking not.
Do anyone know if this is normal behavior, or is this a brocken telelens.
I am on CLT-L29 8.1.0.131(C432)
Thank you all

Depends on the conditions. Blocking lenses won't help because it will be using sensor data from all the lenses to get the best shot. You may just be blocking the lens that is showing you the preview on the phone screen.
Mine works and if I block the tele lens I see nothing, but bear in mind that you have to focus at something far for it to work or else it uses the digital zoom with main sensor. You can note that the tele works but seeing the ois starting to work in your display. I usually takes one two seconds to switch lens

You can check the EXIF data from your shots to see which lens was actually used (the small i-Button in the top left, when you're viewing a picture in the gallery). If it states f1.8, it was the "normal" lens, if you see f2.4, it's the tele lens. Note that closeups will always be taken with the normal lens. If you want to shoot a close up with the tele lens, you need to be farther away, like at least one meter.
Is there a way to get the Super Macro mode to work using the 5X lens?
On the P30, I can use the 3X zoom lens with super macro, but on the P30 pro, I can't and can use the 1X at best.
So the P30 can zoom in much further in super macro mode.
The best lens for super macro is the wide-angle
Super Macro is based on the ability of the camera to focus at a short distance - the way the 5x telephoto lens has been configured is with the aim of long-distance focus, so it physically cannot focus on something closer than a certain distance. I've not tested it myself, but believe it to be about 1m-1.5m away from the phone.
As above, though, the wide angle lens makes for the best Macro shots in my testing.
It's bad enough that Samsung apparently doesn't allow any 3rd party apps to access the telephoto lens. Man, I just want to have some fun. Especially considering that the telephoto lens are noticeably better than the default "wide" lens in my opinion.
Is waiting for a S10 compatible version of Samsung's Expert RAW app my only option?
bump!
