What is the total number of lenses on the Osmo Pocket 4P, and what does each one do?
The Osmo Pocket 4P is equipped with a highly versatile dual-camera system, featuring both a wide-angle and a medium telephoto lens. This combination covers the most popular focal lengths for a wide variety of shooting scenarios, allowing you to seamlessly switch between lenses mid-shoot for dynamic and flexible zooming.
Wide-Angle Lens
Medium Telephoto Lens
Does the Osmo Pocket 4P use a true dual-lens setup, and can both lenses shoot simultaneously?
Yes, the Osmo Pocket 4P utilizes a true physical dual-lens architecture, consisting of a 20mm wide-angle lens and a 60mm medium telephoto lens. Rather than recording with both cameras at the same time and blending the footage, the device is designed to seamlessly switch between the two individual lenses. As you adjust your zoom level, the camera automatically activates the corresponding lens to best capture that specific focal range.
Is the image quality identical on both lenses of the Osmo Pocket 4P?
Both lenses are rigorously calibrated to share a perfectly consistent colour profile, ensuring that zooming and switching between cameras feels smooth, natural, and visually seamless. However, each lens brings its own unique visual strengths to your footage:
* In D-Log 2, the maximum dynamic range reaches up to 17 stops.
Does the Osmo Pocket 4P use a true optical lens for its 60mm medium telephoto view, or is it just a digital crop?
The 60mm medium telephoto view is achieved through a true optical lens backed by its own dedicated 1/1.28-inch CMOS sensor. Because it relies on physical hardware rather than digitally cropping the wide-angle image, it guarantees exceptional image clarity and retains rich, uncompromised detail.
