I have a question Sir Gary:
HTC U11, Moto Z2 Play, and Asus Zenfone 4 have the same camera sensor which is the Sony IMX362. Why is that they produce different quality of photos? Among them, its obvious HTC U11 produce the best photo. But why the others cant produce the same quality of photo as the HTC U11? Hope, you reply. Thank you. (sorry for my bad english)
Btw, you did great in the video. I learnt a lot about camera’s terminologies.

What about Nokia pureview technology? Any thoughts?
Thanks for the video (-:
5:02 IT’S FLASH CAUGHT ON CAM! LOL!
In 1:07 The sensor isn’t switched on and off for a certain amount of time. If so, how can the phone display a preview? So, what they do is let the sensor gather enough light for a certain amount of time and afterwards saving the raw data, and process it into an image if the raw data isn’t saved.
smart phone cameras are just junk!! only good thing is that it comes with your phone so you always have a camera with you!! low light performance is ludicrous at best!!
great video!! Love your stuff!
I just ordered some papa johns 🙂 hehe
Very clear and on point explanation, professor Gary. Waiting patiently for your next upload. God bless you!
With a smart phone you really cannot get blurry background unless you have a dual camera setup in which case the effect can be made with software. Smart phones have small sensors and wide angle lenses so even with f/1.7 there is very high depth of field. The f/1.7 on a smart phone is like f/11 on a FF DSLR as far as DoF is concerned.
wow..finally someone who actually teaches me something new!!
i just downed 4 of your videos in a row!
i wish he would stop waving his hands about
Garry please rply i have. A question
what is grammatically correct out of these two? how smart phones work OR how do smart phones work?
If you want to understand how a mobile camera works, but understand how a normal camera works, don’t watch this
the information in there is barely correct although decent enough for a complete beginner who wants to know the basics of smartphone cameras but the fact he keeps saying dlsr just makes me realize he probably has no idea what he’s talking about and he just looked all that up on google to make a quick video without actually understanding what he was reading. But i can certainly acknowledge that this video is not aimed at enthusiasts or even amateurs, so it’s not a problem to not be an expert yourself when you’re explaining to a beginner.
That wasn’t a dslr shutter, it was the mirror switching between redirecting the light to the viewfinder and letting it through to the sensor. The physical shutter is directly above the sensor and could be shown by locking the mirror (option for cleaning or long time exposures).
Gary Sims is a real teacher not just the people who think they can teach. I respect this man.
Mr. Garry please suggest me which smartphone has the best camera for still images in terms of low light, detailed and color accuracy.
My mom thinks Megapixels = Quality.. oof
Good info, but it’s “DSLR”
Thanks for this amazing information
Megapixels certainly aren’t the end-all, be-all, it’s not an irrelevant factor either. Lots of resolution can aid in a certain level of flexibility, particularly in post.
In a phone, high megapixel sensors have a practical use in rapidly capturing dense text. Very useful for college students borrowing textbooks, or if I want to rapidly snapshot a newspaper or magazine article, or recipes.
Megapixels are just only one factor of how good a camera is though. Sensor size, optics, aperatute being other factors that must be considered as well, depending on use case
Sir Please reply me sir ‚I have a question,what if lens in the camera is damaged or somewhat broken in that case will the camera work
great video!!!
The topic is, how SMARTPHONE CAMERAS WORK… Nevertheless this is a general lesson on “HOW CAMERAS IN GENERAL WORK”.
He said “DLSR”
Less megapixels is better
Thanks Gary, for the simplistic but more understandable explanation of the complex this topic
Interesting. Thanks.
Why do they depreciate
Arrgh!! How is it that an “expert” in cameras is so CHRONICALLY misstating “DSLR” (Digital Single Lens Reflex)?!?!
Gets a bit annoying after the fourth or fifth time, there.… (onscreen printed corrections notwithstanding).
Otherwise, a lot of good information from a practical standpoint.
Next video, Gary, PRACTICE the term a few times before going onscreen. I’m thinking you know what you mean, but you’re just in a bad habit of mispronouncing it.… kind of like idiots who say “nuke-yu-ler” when they mean “nuclear” (new-klee-ar).
Kansas City photos
Very good and clear explanations, however, a digital single lens reflex camera is a DSLR. As for the camera on my LG Stylo 2, although it’s supposed to be 13 megapixels and the image on the screen looks bright, clear and detailed when taken, the image on file is grainy, blurry and lacking in detail. Outlines are very fuzzy and lettering can barely be read. Is there anyrhing I can do about this? I’m shooting through the app “Camera Zoom Fx.”
10:02 now watching this video on my phone that has 6 camera.
I only want to know how it focuses.
You predicted correctly. Now there is more camera then phone.
Business Opportunity in Ruvol
I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”
It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”
The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.
HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?
I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0
BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!
It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

So how does video camera work
He is saying DLSR instead of DSLR…or am I missing something?
