      These periscope do use fixed Focal length. At least the one I found use fixed focal length.

        Where is your proof of what you claim.
        RX100 is a joke and smartphones are on par with it.
        I've checked the tests.

        It's hilarious how you are getting owned in every thread.
        'Morsel' has lost all his credibility on this forum.

          Nick Tagataka, 21 Aug 2020"Isn't this new Oppos's periscope technology... moreI know we've talked this before.
          And we both agreed devices use both camera at some point.

          But do they use this technique every time except the native 5x/10x zoom ?
          This was my question. Not what you're describing.

          You're getting my logic wrong way. My logic is ,
          I know devices combine multiple camera at some point. But do they use fusion/cropping every time except the full zoom ?
          If that's the case then why some level zoom has better detail than other zoom if they were taken using same technique ?

            Yes, exactly what I said.

            "But is that the same case for periscope lens?"
            Yes, it has been the case for all phone periscope lens apart from Zenfone Zoom.

            "both 2x and 3x photos are highly detailed"
            I'm pretty sure I explained this to you before but let me say it again.. It fuses images from the periscope lens and the wide angle lens to fill in the missing details in the centre portion of the frame. This will lead to fusion artifacts and loss of details around the edges of the frame but on P40 Pro you can barely see them unless you look at the photos at 100% magnification. On P30 Pro, they are quite a bit more obvious.

                          A misdirected info.
                          Hitachi alone developed it first.
                          Then further development it partnered with TSMC but that didn't do much except doing minor improvement.
                          The second main innovation happened with Samsung when they figured a way to mass produce the FinFET process.

                          So, Actually there is 2 main innovation here.

                          1. Introduction to FinFET process by Hitachi and
                          2, Figuring out a way to take FinFET process to mass production by Samsung.

                          Yes TSMC helped Hitachi to make the FinFET better.
                          But I'm sure we can't call it innovation as it wasn't any major improvement.

                              I mean it will be able to do, 3x-3.1x-3.2x-3.3x.....4.9x-5x with actual optical zoom.

                              Look there is no actual evidence of periscope mechanism on the internet.
                              I knew that the 2x telephoto has a fixed focal length. But is that the same case for periscope lens ?

                              But think about Huawei's 10x optical zoom. If it cropped in to get 5x zoom then how's it possible to get that much detailed shot.
                              Now think about Huawei P30pro's 5x zoom.
                              both 2x and 3x photos are highly detailed. But when you do 3.1-4x it loses detail.
                              So, if it were cropping for all focal length except for the 5x then all middle zoom should have been bad. But that's not the case.
                              Same thing is seen for Samsung's periscope.

                              So, I think Periscope lens has around 2-3 fixed focal lengths. But can't be 100% sure as I couldn't get any proof and I could be wrong also.

                              But here in Oppo's case. They're talking about continuous zoom.
                              And this wasn't introduced by them first.

                                AnonD-754814, 19 Aug 2020Okay. I didn't know about that. But I thought the pe... moreNah that has never been the case for the last few years. This is why this Oppo's next gen periscope module is getting a lot of hype - looking at the descriptions, it is suggested that it has a smooth, continuous zoom instead of one or multiple fixed FLs.

For instance, S20 Ultra's periscope telephoto module has a fixed 104mm equivalent lens (So 4x zoom factor) and it uses cropping from either the main or the telephoto camera to achieve in other zoom ranges. Of course, the lenses inside the telephoto module technically "move" to lock focus on subjects, but that doesn't mean that they are capable of changing the focal length.
