Super Macro Zoom - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

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.

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.

Zoom in Super Slo-Mo

I'm a bit disappointed in the required zoom for super slo-mo. I think it's safe to assume there is no way to zoom out, so I'm wondering about the logic in forcing the zoom. My guess is that both cameras are used at the same time, shooting at 480fps, alternating frames, allowing for 960fps shooting when combined. I think some of the blurriness of the mode comes from having to apply a digital enlargement to the wide-angle camera so that it matches the telephoto lens. Any other guesses?
Dunno but I took a video of a hummingbird today and thought while neat the quality sucked.

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.

Using telephoto lens in manual ("pro") mode

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!

Question x90 pro plus front camera (Selfie)

I have a question , the x90 pro plus have the AUTOFOCUS on the front camera (selfie camera) ?
No it doesn't. Also the 2x camera has no autofocus.
Only main camera, ultrawide and 3.5x have autofocus.

my ex x70 pro+ had autofocus on all rear cameras ( ultrawide , wide , 2x and 5x camera) Only the front camera didn't have autofocus, like x90 pro plus ... Bad news for me

Wtf are you talking
Main lens and ultra wide and also 3.5 all of these have auto focus only the 10x lens does not have it
Haha, first show me the 10x lens.... Then try again focussing if you like with manual focus and see which lenses exist and which have autofocus...

Dude, are you simple? He obviously means that you can't double tap to manual focus when using the 10x zoom. It just doesn't work. For 2x it does work.
I retried the 2x lens focus - now it's working. So sorry I was wrong about that. But before the trial update it clearly wasn't working in the gcam mods - I'm not finding them anymore right now - but focus was missing in camera2 api and some screenshots of that should still float around here - and I cannot bother with the stock camera too much anymore - I really hate both colour modes so I use gcam mainly now.
If the 3x zoom lens has autofocus, then a digital crop of it (10x) must have autofocus too. Simple, or do I need to dig deeper?
I checked on gsmarena and NOW , it show that ALL LENS on the rear of x90 pro plus have Autofocus
50.3 MP, f/1.8, 23mm (wide), 1.0"-type, 1.6µm, Dual Pixel PDAF, Laser AF, OIS
64 MP, f/3.5, 90mm (periscope telephoto), 1/2.0", 0.7µm, PDAF, OIS, 3.5x optical zoom
50 MP, f/1.6, 50mm (telephoto), 1/2.4", 0.7µm, AF, 2x optical zoom, OIS
48 MP, f/2.2, 14mm, 114˚ (ultrawide), 1/2.0", 0.8µm, AF
I had checked before opening this topic and it indicated 2x lens "NO AF"
For the selfie (front) is confimed that not have AF ... Bad
"No autofocus" is not bad. It means that it's a fixed focus lens. That's a special type of lens where a relatively wide range is always in focus. For a selfie camera, that's an advantage, because the subjects in selfies are usually within the same range and the camera does not need time to focus. No danger of missing the right moment (eyes closed etc.) or getting blurred images because of missed autofocus. Therefore the fixed focus lens is a better choice.
For me is bad ... My ex ex p40 pro have AF with 32mpx on front camera , my ex vivo x70 pro plus have 32mpx with no AF on front camera , the front camera of x90 pro plus is the same of x70 pro plus (Samsung S5KGD2 sensor)
Overall quality is quite low vs p40 pro , on the front camera ... For me
