Wow ... I swear, not being an ass, kinda looks like The Shire from Lord Of The Rings (a bit). Is that a small house on the left by the tree? I know it shouldn't be but ??

Just getting used to this WQHD display I have from LG ... freaking my eyes out late-night after a 14hr shift. I need to sleep seeing things. I do like this pic still. Lots of contrast, warmth of the sunlight, the fern-like leaves look sharp & detailed.

Thanks for the feedback ! Yeah it's a miniature house, part of the decor which reminded me of Tolkien too. Here's another shot from a different angle for you :)

Yes and no.

  • On first opening the camera app you are offered a choice (on Pro & Pro Max) of 0.5 / 1x / 3 cameras. These open at their default 'optical length' setting
  • You can (but generally shouldn't) then zoom in / out with a scroll wheel, which uses a software zoom from the closest lens - this is essentially a crop of the full picture, and therefore of reduced quality - which may or may not matter to you depending on the picture eg: zooming out from 1x with the wheel will drop to a zoomed version using the 0.5x lens
I was taught to zoom with my feet wherever practical.
Hmm thanks for the reply, so not as automatic as I thought. Still not too bad it seems. I’ll have a play with the phones when I’m next able to before buying one.

in fairness it's pretty much as seamless as they can make it - pick the lens you want to start with, and then zoom in / out with a well executed scroll wheel.

personally I'd don't use software / digital zoom as it can't ever be as good. the only other way to do it would be a physical optical zoom like a compact camera.
