Mobile Phones

There's front and back.

Front does selfies. Back does the camera stuff but the camera has more than one lens it can use depending on how you zoom it in or out.

Don't know the details but I think it mostly happens automatically depending on how you do the zoom. It will certainly go into macro mode if you zoom in on something close. There are actually three lenses on the back of mine so it could be 4 cameras if you add in the selfie one.

Ah!  Thanks Klon.
So I assume that to zoom in you pinch the image on the screen?
To do selfies, then, I assume you just click the camera and hold the phone screen up to your face?  Oh, I see there's a small circlr on the screen to use the selfie mode.

I don't use the camera much but do know that there are various fancy options. Zooming is the same as expanding images by moving fingers apart. If I wanted to do something with it and couldn't work out how by experiment I'd make Youtube my first port of call, My major annoyance with mine is I'll try to send a snap over whatsapp and find the dammed thing has popped into movie mode rather than photo. Doubtless my sausage fingers.
