Note 9 telephoto lens - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Does the note 9 really have a genuine telephoto lens? Or does it crop the two images together?

It is a true telephoto lens, but in darker situations it uses a digital zoom on the main lens only

Is the telephoto lens only for the live focus mode?

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.

Any way to capture raw on telephoto lens?

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!

Live Focus with telephoto lens

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.

Super Macro Zoom

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.

K20 Pro telephoto lens

Why does the K20 Pro click only 6 megapixel images with the telephoto lens in normal mode but take 8 megapixel photos with telephoto lens in portrait mode?
no difference here. 8MP in both modes
