How does your smartphone camera work?
STEP 1:-The light from the scene enter your smartphone camera module.
STEP 2:-How big the cone of light entering your camera is, will be defined by the aperture of the optical lens used. In smartphones, these lenses are made of plastic. When a manufacturer lists 5P lens, the P stands for plastic. More than one lens element are combined to offset dispersion.
STEP 3:-The light then reaches the Sensor assembly, which includes an IR filter, VCM motor for focusing, may be a gyro sensor (for OIS) and the CMOS sensor itself.
STEP 4:-Pixels on the camera sensor gather light that falls on them and then pass on the information to the ISP.
STEP 5:-ISP or Image Signal Processor makes sense of the data, interacts with the software and pushes the final image. For video recording, a video encoder is also present in the chain.
