Rear camera on phone not being used - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

Hi I was just playing around with the rear cameras on the S10+ when I noticed that one of the cameras are not in use. The Wide angle and Ultra Wide angle lenses are used but when you activate the telephoto lens it uses the same lens as the Wide angle. I am assuming that the telephoto is a digital crop, this can be tested by covering the lenses during use. The lens furthest from the flash is the one not being used. Can others confirm this or enlightened me with what the third lens does.

That really depends on the lighting conditions

It's because the camera is clever and shuts off that 3rd lens and only uses the second one when the 3rd is covered
In a normally lit room turn on your camera and put it on full zoom, place your finger just under the 3rd lens so the lens is not covered at all then quickly cover and uncover the lens
Not only will you see the lens get covered with your finger on screen but you should see the flicker of it changing between lenses to compensate for the covered lens

I just tested it, if you switch to tele lens and cover/uncover the telephoto cam you can see how the app quickly switches from telephoto to digital zoom whenever the telephoto camera is covered, it also has to be done in good lightning.

Cracks in front lens camera

There are some cracks in my front camera, leading to blurry images. I wonder if the cracks are in the front camera itself or if there is a glass lens in front of the camera that could be broken? Please help. I would be a waste to buy a new front camera if theres a glass lens in front of it that is broken.
You can visit a Service Centre and have it checked? No one will be able to tell you without a proper look at the unit.
it should either be your Display Glass or Camera Lens (which is a part of the camera and not outside)

Rear Camera Lens Replacement

So I got an X727 this past Thursday, and I accidentally set it on a table too hard with the stock case on and, well, the camera lens cracked. It's not across the sensor, but I know it's a matter of time before it spreads and the rear camera becomes unusable.
How difficult is it to replace the rear camera lens? Where can I find a replacement?
Thank you in advance ?
My camera lens has a crack across the sensor now; when aiming towards light reflections of said light reflect all across the image.
I'm desperate, someone please help!
Figured out that the lens can be replaced without removing the rear housing.
Still, though, where can I find replacement lenses?
Will a tempered glass camera lens protector be suitable as a replacement lens?

Front Camera Exposure Problem

After a screen replacement the exposure of my front camera is kind of messed up. The front camera is too sensitive to light and it seems the exposure is not correctly calibrated. Could it be software related or is the camera just damaged? The cause of the screen replacement was the RN7 falling from a considerable height and i'm thinking it maybe damaged the camera too.
Here there are some pics showing the problem: https://drive.google.com/open?id=137AcgVszWHDOMAHVvbfcdNEMihpX0Y3A
A badly scratched lens can often produce that kind of output...

Horrid pics taken by the telephoto lens/Portrait mode

While switching to the portrait mode, camera auto switch to the telephoto 3x zoom lens (the individual stand alone lens). The pic taken is very noisy under regular room light.. Using the normal mode, aka main lens the results are great. Anyone having this issue too?
I'm using a the Teardown skin along with the included case and I've noticed it too. Unfortunately, the dirt and lint likes to build up at the telephoto camera which is the one at the left, outside of the camera bump. Removing the case and also using a cotton swab to clean the camera lens fixes the issue for me.
I was thinking to make small camera cover from multiple layers of screen protector to build up some height to remove the indent and stop lint building up, but haven't got around making it yet.
It's not abt the lens that is dirty, it's seems the software processing on tele lens is just not right, pics produced are like Raw pics, not processed and noisy. You can try by switching to tele, (not wide angle). Take it in a average lighting room. Look at the pictures.. Its real bad.
Still no one could help? Or this is a known issue on oneplus 8 pro?

Help please

Spot is present on every photo or video I click from my primary camera It also zooms when I zoom to click a picture or video please help whether it is a dust particle or any issue with the camera sensor
Also there is No visible is scratches or dust particle on the lens
This dust is large and colorful, which means that it transmits light. Maybe it is stuck to the inside of the objective lens or to the image sensor. Zooming is done programmatically. Dust is always the same.

Can you tell how can I confirm that it's dust or sensor is burned
The black outline indicates a sensor burn. Take it to a repair shop or to the servicing center. They may change the sensor if there is no visible damage to the lens.
