Multi-Camera System

Multi-Camera System (n.) A smartphone camera setup featuring multiple lenses and sensors on the rear of the device. This configuration enhances the versatility and capabilities of mobile photography. Common arrangements include:

  • Dual-Lens Camera: Typically pairs a main camera with either a telephoto or ultra-wide lens.
  • Triple-Lens Camera: Often includes main, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses.
  • Quad-Lens Camera: May add a depth sensor or macro lens to the triple-lens setup.

Each lens in a multi-camera system serves a specific purpose, such as improved zoom capability, wider field of view, or enhanced depth perception for portrait effects. This technology allows mobile photographers to switch between different focal lengths and photography styles without changing devices.
