Periscope Lens
A periscope lens, sometimes called a folded lens, is a mechanical assembly of Lens (optics), lens elements that uses a Prism (optics), prism or mirror to redirect the light through the lenses with a 90° angle to the optical axis, as in a periscope. Uses The Kenworthy/Netman Snorkel Camera System, introduced in 1967 by Norman Paul Kenworthy and Bob Nettman, uses periscope lenses to allow filming very small Scale model, scale models and objects from a very close distance. Smartphones use periscope lenses to allow larger Zoom lens, zoom ratios without increasing their thickness significantly. The increased optical zoom range is aimed to improve macro photography. With a periscope lens, the zoom lenses are turned by 90° and are aligned along the length or the width of the smartphone instead of its depth. The Sharp Corporation, Sharp 902, released in 2004, is sometimes credited to be the first mobile phone to feature a (2x variable zoom) periscope lens camera. The Asus Zenfone Zoom ...

Periscope Zoom Lens Vs Conventional Zoom Lens In A Smartphone
A periscope is an instrument for observation over, around or through an object, obstacle or condition that prevents direct line-of-sight observation from an observer's current position. In its simplest form, it consists of an outer case with mirrors at each end set parallel to each other at a 45° angle. This form of periscope, with the addition of two simple lenses, served for observation purposes in the trenches during World War I. Military personnel also use periscopes in some gun turrets and in Armored car (military), armoured vehicles. More complex periscopes using Prism (optics), prisms or advanced Optical fiber, fiber optics instead of mirrors and providing magnification operate on submarines and in various fields of science. The overall design of the classical submarine periscope is very simple: two telescopes pointed into each other. If the two telescopes have different individual magnification, the difference between them causes an overall magnification or reduction. ...

Film And Video Terminology
A film, also known as a movie or motion picture, is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, emotions, or atmosphere through the use of moving images that are generally, since the 1930s, synchronized with sound and (less commonly) other sensory stimulations. Etymology and alternative terms The name "film" originally referred to the thin layer of photochemical emulsion on the celluloid strip that used to be the actual medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion-picture, including "picture", "picture show", "moving picture", "photoplay", and "flick". The most common term in the United States is "movie", while in Europe, "film" is preferred. Archaic terms include "animated pictures" and "animated photography". "Flick" is, in general a slang term, first recorded in 1926. It originates in the verb flicker, owing to the flickering appearance of early films ...

Telescopes
A telescope is a device used to observe distant objects by their emission, Absorption (electromagnetic radiation), absorption, or Reflection (physics), reflection of electromagnetic radiation. Originally, it was an optical instrument using lenses, curved mirrors, or a combination of both to observe distant objects – an optical telescope. Nowadays, the word "telescope" is defined as a wide range of instruments capable of detecting different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, and in some cases other types of detectors. The first known practical telescopes were refracting telescopes with glass lenses and were invented in the Netherlands at the beginning of the 17th century. They were used for both terrestrial applications and astronomy. The reflecting telescope, which uses mirrors to collect and focus light, was invented within a few decades of the first refracting telescope. In the 20th century, many new types of telescopes were invented, including radio telescopes in t ...

List Of Longest Smartphone Telephoto Lenses
This is a list of smartphones with a telephoto lens that offers a focal length (35 mm equivalent) of at least 100 mm or "4× optical zoom" with an imaging area equivalent to a 1/3.5″ (inches) or larger sensor. Smartphone lenses are often marketed in terms of "optical zoom" relative to the phone's main camera. For example, 120 mm is usually referred to as "5× optical zoom", because the main camera's focal length is commonly around 24 mm. However, only a few smartphones, such as the Sony Xperia 1 IV and V, include a true zoom lens that offers continuous optical zoom, whereas nearly all smartphones feature a collection of prime lenses interpolated by digital zoom. This is not a list of the "best" smartphone telephoto lenses, because many factors affect image quality. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra's telephoto lens outperforms the S21 Ultra's, despite the S22 Ultra's smaller sensor size and shorter focal length, because of hardware and software improvements. In a f ...

Huawei P30
Huawei P30 is a line of Android-based smartphones manufactured by Huawei. Unveiled on 26 March 2019, they succeed the Huawei P20 in the company's P series line. Specifications Hardware Their designs are similar to those of the P20. The P30 Pro has a curved screen, and replaces the traditional earpiece speaker with an "electromagnetic levitation" speaker that vibrates the top of the phone's screen, enabling a narrower bezel. The P30 has IP53 water and dustproofing, while the P30 Pro has IP68, but does not include a headphone jack. Both models utilise the Kirin 980 system-on-chip. The devices feature an in-screen optical fingerprint reader, stated to have improved performance over that of the Mate 20 Pro. In September 2019, Huawei unveiled new "Mystic Blue" and "Misty Lavender" color finishes for the P30 Pro, which carry a two-tone appearance using matte and glossy finishes. In May 2020, Huawei announced new 256 GB "New Edition" P30 Pro models for Germany, including a new sil ...

Macro Photography
Macro photography (or photomacrography or macrography, and sometimes macrophotography) is extreme close-up photography, usually of very small subjects and living organisms like insects, in which the size of the subject in the photograph is greater than life-size (though ''macrophotography'' also refers to the art of making very large photographs). By the original definition, a macro photograph is one in which the size of the subject on the negative or image sensor is life-size or greater. In some senses, however, it refers to a finished photograph of a subject that is greater than life-size. The ratio of the subject size on the film plane (or sensor plane) to the actual subject size is known as the reproduction ratio. Likewise, a macro lens is classically a lens capable of reproduction ratios of at least 1:1, although it often refers to any lens with a large reproduction ratio, despite rarely exceeding 1:1. Apart from technical photography and film-based processes, where th ...
