CatDad knows that the S21's ultra-wide mode only uses the phone's 12 megapixel sensor, but this JPG version allowed him to focus on my head. The "Pro" mode has fixed focus (more like a GoPro, but with the added benefit of being able to shoot RAW). He's going to have to list all of the pros and cons of each shooting mode!

This telephoto JPG from the camera's base camera appears upscaled, so CatDad is know more confused than ever when the phone actually uses the 64 megapixel sensor!

Ahhhh...CatDad gives the best massages

This shot is using the S21's 4:3 64 megapixel mode (only available in the non-pro camera). Since daddy opted to zoom, the resulting shot still appears upscaled...but this time to a 64 megapixel resolution (9248x6936). This shot does appear very sharp when viewed a HD resolutions though.

Now CatDad has captured this shot using the S21's regular camera in its preset 3x telephoto mode...which also renders at 12 megapixel (4032x3024), but appears to be using the phone's 64 megapixel sensor

Again, the accompanying JPG shows the telephoto version he saw when he captured the shot...and it appears to have been upscaled from the RAW data

So here daddy has manually cropped a RAW shot of my sister..a shot he took over my body

If he zooms using the "Pro" camera, my face appears to be cropped upscaled (though looks pretty sharp when viewed on a mobile-sized screen...perhaps perfect for Instagram). The telephoto version is captured within the JPG it renders concurrently with the RAW (the previous shot)...and only it only crops the central region of the shot

#CatDad is trying to understand how the S21 utilizes its 3 cameras...seems that its "Pro" camera can only capture 12 megapixel stills raw

Why does he choose to focus on my tail...not sure what's so special about it
