What's the difference between four mobile phone cameras and 1?

The four shots of Glory 20Pro are main shot, super wide angle, telephoto and macro.

The main shot is within 1 to 3 times, the wide angle is 0.6 to 0.9 times, and the telephoto is more than 3 times. When entering the super macro mode, call the macro lens. This is a division of labor based on focus links.

The four shots of Huawei Nova 5 Pro are main shot, super wide angle, depth of field and macro.

The role of depth of field is to blur the background of the target, which can actually be accomplished by software algorithm, so depth of field is the complement, and the function of macro lens can also be realized by other lens algorithms, so macro is also the complement.

The three shots of Huawei P20 Pro are main shot+black and white+telephoto. The black-and-white lens can capture more details and supplement the imaging of the main camera, but it can also be enhanced by algorithms.

The former has the advantage of wide application range, while the latter can take beautiful photos under normal focal length, but now black and white lenses are not used.

conclusion

Many so-called dual-camera phones in the market use depth of field to supplement numbers, and the actual effect will not be very good. To know which lens is the most useful, just look at what lens each flagship uses. For example, the ToF lens of Huawei P30 Pro can measure the distance, and it can also complete the functions of depth of field lens and AR modeling, which is obviously useful.

There are 4 cameras and 1 camera on the mobile phone, and the biggest difference lies in the different application scenarios.

Scene shooting difference. In fact, each camera on the mobile phone has its own division of labor. When taking a photo, the mobile phone will cooperate with or actively call the lens you need according to the photo mode you choose to complete the photo task. When we see the factory camera configuration standard telephoto camera, wide-angle camera, ultra-wide-angle camera, 3D depth camera, portrait lens, focal plane, macro lens and so on.

For example, only one main camera phone, such as iPhoneXR, is equipped with a wide-angle lens. If we use it to zoom in and shoot the distant scenery, it can only be magnified five times, so it is very difficult to shoot the distant view. For example, Huawei P40pro's four-camera remote main camera and telephoto lens work at the same time, which can achieve 50 times digital zoom. The effect gap is very obvious.

There are many scenes:

The main lens+wide angle shooting is bigger, and the scenery carried by a single photo is very large.

IPhone 1 1 The main camera is a wide-angle+ultra-wide-angle lens auxiliary camera, which has more space.

The main camera ++50mm portrait lens has better stereoscopic effect.

Main camera +3D depth camera The scene we shot is more stereoscopic.

Main lens+focal plane The video we shot will be more colorful and feel like a blockbuster.

1. Friends who like photography know that when we take pictures with a digital camera, we will change the lens with different scenes. For example, shooting people, we will change it into a portrait lens. The f value of the lens aperture and the difference of the aperture determine the different uses of the lens. In the evolution of mobile phone cameras, a single camera can no longer meet the increasingly high quality requirements of our users, and the lens can't be replaced. Therefore, more mobile phone cameras are added to achieve higher photo requirements through AI intelligent algorithm.

2. At present, it is still very difficult to manufacture integrated cameras. It is obviously unrealistic for a main camera to have the functions of telephoto, wide angle, super wide angle, 3D deep feeling, portrait, movie and macro at the same time, so there are more and more cameras.

Summary: Four shots are more abundant in scene application than single shot, which meets the needs of our users for a variety of photos.

Hello, with more and more cameras on flagship mobile phones, I believe many people will have this question. Why are there more and more cameras? What are the uses?

In fact, multiple cameras equipped with mobile phones each use independent functions and unique performance.

Let's take a look at Huawei's latest P40 Pro+ mobile phone.
