Not only is the range getting bigger, the telephoto camera on the Sony Xperia 1 IV also now includes the “continuos optical zoom 85-125mm” technology.
This technology is said to be the first to be embedded in a smartphone.
The camera lens on a smartphone itself usually only has one focal length (fixed), including the telephoto range. For example, there are cell phones that have two telephoto lenses, 70mm and 240mm.
The photos at 70mm and 240mm will look good because they are at the native optical zoom point of both lenses. However, the photos between the two points will look less good or like cropped photos, because the zoom is done digitally.
Well, the Telephoto Lens Continuous Optical Zoom 85-125mm from Sony is said to be able to continuously zoom (optical zoom) from 85mm to 125mm, without the help of digital zoom.
