When i place my finger over the telephoto lens it had no effect on the picture being taken in 1x or 2x mode. I can't figure out what i am doing wrong its as if only the wide lens is Working. Any ideas? 256gb note 8 snapdragon.

Hi folks,
The note8 had some limitations with the telephoto lens. I'm curious if these have been removed for the s9+
- Can you use pro mode with the telephoto lens? If so, is this by manually selecting the telephoto?
- In pro mode, does dng/raw mode support capturing from the telephoto lens or just the normal lens?
Thanks!

No.. telephoto lens with the S9+ is not possible in Pro Mode.
thanks for confirming. I also ended up going into a phone retailer and trying it out. A bit disappointed - would have been nice to see the DNG raw files from the telephoto and see how much they could be improved. Maybe the amount of processing needed is so bad Samsung doesn't want to let the DNG files out
Hey guys. So I've been tinkering with the S9+ and its telephoto lens and I've noticed something weird about it...
So basically, I got one of those clip-on lenses for when I still had my S7. So I figured if I used the 2x on the telephoto, it would get 4x. Odd thing is when I switched over the 2x and had the clip-on lens on the main (top) camera with the telephoto lens effectively covered, it still shows an image (which actually looks 4x!). So does that mean that the 2x still shows the feed from the main cam? Doesn't the telephoto lens have its own sensor?

The telephoto is used only when it detects good light conditions, otherwise, it will be a crop of the main sensor.
You can do the test yourself: in good light conditions, change to the 2x and you will see is using the telephoto sensor; now cover it with your finger and you will see your finer approaching and after a couple of milliseconds you will see an image again. This is because the camera detected no light in the telephoto and changed to the main sensor.
Take out your finger from the telephoto and you will see how it changes again.
Hello,
i take photos from the night sky since serveral years (with smartphones too).
Unfortunately with the Samsung S9plus the stars are not pinpoint like as they are on the Samsung S7. They apear very distorted with a kind of a halo.
Ofcourse the smartphone was not moved during 10 seconds of exposure time.
I did layed it down and used the self timer mode to prevent shaking.
I tried it serveral days in comparison with the Samung S7.
The S7 is always much better and show pinpoint like stars.
The distortion of the stars is visible in the RAW files(DNG) too so no jpeg problem forced by the compression.
Could you reproduce the same problems?
I am not allowed to post links.So how to show you the photo?
Could send you the link of the uploaded photos for comparison.
The dual camera variants of Samsung phones tend to overexpose shots, especially during darker environment.
That's what I noticed, and I'm waiting for the update they sent to Note 9s.

Are you using the telephoto camera? It has OIS driven by digital gyroscopes. Those gyroscopes aren't effective at low frequencies so the OIS will slowly drift around a small amount. 1/5 second is usually the limit for sharp photos. Even when the gyroscopes are turned off, OIS lenses are VERY sensitive to motion because of the lens being on a soft suspension. Walking next to the tripod could wobble the lens.
You also can't expect clear images if you use F/1.5.
Try using the wide angle lens.
I would send a photo to someone of you so you can post it here into the Tread.
Who like to do it?
The camera was layed down on the ground so no shaking or vibration ppossible during the exposure time.
I found no setting that the OIS gyroscope is working in photo mode. OIS is probably only working in video modes.
Even if it works in photo mode, the camera was layed down, so no shaking could happen.
Who of you could make a photo from the stars with the following settings?
Pro Mode
Camera mounted or layed on the ground with direction to the night sky.
Self timer to prevent shaking
Iso 800
10sec shutter speed
F 1.4

Antwort unfortunately the tele lens only works in very good light conditions.
Even in a bright lighted room there is no way to activate the real Tele lens. The camera automatic switch to digital Zoom.
Also in pro mode its not possible to use the telephoto lens if the light condirions are not perfect.
This is very bad because if the cameras is standing still completely and the object doesn't move why not using the Tele camera lens in pro mode?
Very interesting Thanks for the link

S9 plus Someone able to shoot a photo from the stars/nightsky?
Hello,
just like to ask if someone here are able to shoot a photo from the stars with the Samsung S9 plus by using the following settings:
Please post your photo here to compare it with my one.
Pro Mode
Iso 800
Shutter 10seconds
F 1.4
Selftimer to prevent shaking
Camera on a tripod or layed on the ground
Thanks
So the difference between P30 and the pro model that the main camera has optical stabilizer,but i can't see that the stabilizer is working when shooting with the main lens.
I can feel even the small hand shaking,but the stabilization is perfect on the tele lens.
Anyone noticed this too?
Hej guys, I was wondering if my Mate has a problem with its lenses. As far as I understand it, there are three different lenses for wide, normal and zoom. The zoom lens is supposed to be the one under the flash.
But I can't activate that lens. Yes, I can zoom 3x, 5x. But the picture still comes from the normal lens, which I found out by putting something in front of the lenses to see which one blacks out. The lens under the flash is just never used, no matter what zoom setting I choose. So it seems like the zoom images are taken with the normal lens and digital zoom instead of the zoom lens.
Am I missing something? What do I have to do to activate the zoom lens ?
