I hope this helps you make the most of your smartphone camera! 💪 What else would you like to see explained?

Lots of people asking about my Pixel 8 review - it's coming soon (but if you're waiting to buy it then I'd hang on 😅)

You took a really complicated topic and turned into something so understandable in a matter of 20 minutes considering you could pay so much money for a course that describes it much more complicated! Hats off to you! Love your channel :)

I'm a professional photographer. I just spent the last two days teaching a full course about this. Then comes Arun and his team and gives a magestic master class of photography in 20 minutes. You guys never disappoint, but this time for me, it was just over the top! Also, 11:00 was so good, no one even noticed!

I've always wanted to know how cameras work especially on phones because the cameras look so small yet they capture images and videos from near and far. If our ancestors were alive, they would be very amazed to see how far we have gone as humans. The transition from those really big television-like cameras to these ones is just something else. Love how you took your time to explain how a camera works

Can we all give a round of applause to the editors and to Arun for choreographing this video better than any master class? Dang... great job guys 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Fun fact: in general relativity, the mathematical viewpoint of a photon does not experience the passage of time. It makes sense that photos are timeless ✊🥁

6:50 Sony came up with a pretty interesting physical zoom in their xperia 1 iV thats worth mentioning. In the 1 iii they managed to shove 2 lenses mechanically swappable in front of one sensor, but on the next iterations they achieved an actual 85-125 focal lenght, with the zoom barrel laying sideways inside the phone and a 90 degrees mirror facing front. Nobody knows or barely care about it yet I find it amazing!

10:48 even when there was only four pixels, I was sure we are going to be rickrolled again

[Dynasty]

10:53 at 16 pixels I already knew it was a Rick roll. 😂

There are smartphones with optical zoom, like the Sony Xperia 1 V. It uses multiple moving lens elements inside the periscope module for true optical zoom between 3.5x to 5.2 magnification, staying at full 12MP, no upscaling/cropping at any magnification between 3.5x and 5.2x. Asus and Nokia had experimented this in the past. But today, only Sony makes smartphones with optical zoom.

I already knew almost everything you said about how camera works. Yet I still enjoyed your explanation which was very simple to understand and with lots of added explaining images and videos.
Thanks for creating this educating videos. Your reach on YouTube is enormous so I hope this video is going to educate a lot of people and making the discussion about new phone cameras more informed. 👏🏻

[anerd]

Mann how can he's videos be sooo gooood and soo informative, I just couldn't blink my eyes even. Hats off for the hardwork of Arun and team❤

[BhavnaUnleashed]

Your video was exactly what I was searching for. Also, even though it was very technical, you made it fun and informational. Thank you!

[moorpana]

Absolutely fantastic choice of topic! It's truly surprising that this crucial information hasn't been covered before, especially in these times when it's so needed. Kudos to you for the amazing work, keep it up!

[igoresque]

Did you forget about Sony Xperia 1 IV and V? They have continuous optical zoom, although limited.
Imagine if phones had only 2 cameras, one which goes continuously from ultrawide to wide, and another from wide to telephoto.

Thank you Mrwhostheboss for making a video that shows you how the mechanics and technology of a camera works. I love taking photos and videos of my friends and family, cause they tell me that my photos be great. . . But at the same time I’ve just been guessing and teaching myself as I go. . . But after watching this video I just learned a whole lot more.

[galaxy]

I love how you always make your videos to help people who want to upgrade their tech and why they should get it or not. Your channel has really helped me progress my learning about tech so I could help my family too. Thank you for always helping me in learning tech and new things hopefully I can meet you in irl

Cameras are my passion, and I've been eagerly waiting for this! Arun never disappoints with his tech insights.🙂

Where has this man been for the past days, I couldn't survive without him 😭😭
