I’m confused by the behaviour I’m seeing with the cameras on my 15PM. I was playing with the camera app and covering up the different lenses as I flicked through the settings.

I choose 0.5, cover the ultra wide and the picture goes black as expected. Same with the main. However when I choose 5x and cover the telephoto the image stays on screen, moving my finger to the main camera lens makes the screen go black. This seems most prominent when focussing on close to medium distance objects.

Using the 5x setting and covering the main camera lens seems to initially impact exposure before blacking out the screen.

I’ve not tested this on another 15. What results do others get? Is the 3x on the 15P the same?
