Are the different types of mobile camera lenses that all the companies are offering these days just for show?
Nowadays instead of providing one camera all mobile companies have started providing three-four cameras in their phones and now apart from seeing more megapixels we have started preferring to have mobiles with more than one camera.
but what these companies provide to us is telephoto, micro, wild, ultra Wild, depth camera is talked about. What is their function, what are they for, it is important for us to know about them so that we can use them properly and take good photographs.
If you want to know how mobile camera works before knowing these, then you can read our “how mobile camera work?” You can read the blog
MAIN CAMERA:–
Often mobile companies launch their new phones saying that the main camera in this phone will be 100 megapixels/200 megapixels. Because they know that people first look at the high megapixel camera installed in the phone to take good photos.
main camera, we have to look at the megapixels as well as the size of their sensor because even if the size of the camera sensor is not large good photos are not taken. Nowadays, some mobile companies give more megapixels to make your phone look better, but their sensor is smaller. Due to which the pictures look worse than other low megapixel phones.
When you open the camera in the phone, the main camera opens first. After this, you can change the camera lens as per your need through the option given in the mobile.
TELEPHOTO LENS :-
Sometimes we think about taking a good photo of something that is far away. But when we zoom in to capture them with our mobile camera, the photo starts getting blurred and we are not able to take a good picture of them. To solve these problems, telephoto camera lenses are also being provided in today’s phones.
With which you can do optical zoom up to 2x, 3x, 4x. In the photo you can see what a telephoto lens looks like. Some lenses are placed inside telephoto lenses. Which helps you in taking good pictures from a distance by moving the lens back and forth while zooming.
so that the telephoto lens can focus well on the person or object standing far away, a (laser auto-focus) sensor is also provided in the mobile, which emits a laser beam in front of the person or object standing far away and the laser left is visible on the object Or it decides their distance based on the time taken by the person to come back after colliding with him Due to which when zoomed the telephoto lens focuses well on the person or object.
ULTRA-WIDE:-
Nowadays, we love to go to family functions and take photographs with family and relatives. But sometimes due to having many relatives, it becomes difficult to bring everyone in one photo and the camera has to be taken far away due to which no one’s face is clearly visible in the photo and sometimes there is not even enough space to take the camera back.
In order to be able to take photographs of all the people even while staying close to them, a wide camera lens is being provided in the mobile, in which you can capture more space in the camera even while staying at less distance than the normal camera and there will be no need to go too far to use the wide camera.
The lens is slightly raised and more curved so that it can see more of the world and now some mobile phones have also started coming with ultra wide cameras in which you can take pictures up to 80 degrees.
DEPTH CAMERA:-
DEPTH CAMERA:-From the photo taken with the depth camera lens, we can estimate how much distance there is between the space behind the person or thing. The photo taken in depth camera looks like 3D.
Nowadays we like to blur the area around a person or thing (Portrait), this is easier with a depth camera because the area behind the person can be clearly seen.
Nowadays, 3D LiDAR scanner is also being provided in the phone to better estimate the area behind the object or person in the depth photo. Which throws all the laser beams in front of the subject. So that a proper 3D map of the place in the photo can be created. And as many details as possible can come.
MICRO LENS:-
Micro camera is used when we have to take a close photo of a paper or any small thing. Then we have to use micro cameras which cannot be taken with other normal cameras because their camera lens is made to take photographs of distant things. If one tries to take photos from too close, one cannot focus on them.
Micro camera is mostly used while scanning paper documents so that photos can be taken by keeping the camera close to it so that the writing on them can be clearly seen in the photo. Nowadays, LED light is also being provided around the micro camera in some mobiles. This is so that when the photo is taken from nearby, the photo does not appear dark. Sometimes mobile companies show these like microscopes.
LIQUID LENS:-
As you read, different sizes of lenses are used for different purposes. Due to which often the back side of the mobile is filled with 4-5 cameras due to which the battery is kept small and this problem can be solved by liquid lens in which the lens is made of liquid in such a way. That it can automatically change its size as per the need, so that the work of depth, micro lens, wide camera can be done easily.
With the help of a liquid lens more space is saved in the mobile and the remaining space can be used to provide a bigger battery. In this, water and oil are kept inside a compartment which does not mix with each other and the water acts like a lens. The shape of water can be changed by changing the electricity between water and oil. Which can auto focus faster than a normal camera.
360 DEGREE LENS:-
360 lens cameras are mostly used by YouTubers, bloggers and travelers who want to capture all the nearby places in one photo while traveling. Nowadays the number of YouTubers, bloggers and travelers is also increasing. Due to which mobile companies have started installing 360 cameras in your phone. With which you can take 360 videos and photos from your mobile also.
How does this work? Talking about these, the camera lens is placed on the outside and they are also given more roundness so that they can see up to 80\90 degrees and to see up to 360 degrees, these cameras are provided on the front and back of the mobile and The pictures seen in both those cameras are combined together, due to which we can rotate those pictures and see them up to 360 degrees.
