Samsung S9+ 2x zoom camera not working/disabled solved

[Incorrectusername]

So in reference to this post, I believe I have figured it out

Samsung galaxy s9+ second camera disabled?

 

 

I believe I have figured out the issue.

 

I had the same question and tried to figure it out and I think I did,

When you cover the zoom lens and click 2x zoom in auto mode you can still take a picture perfectly fine even though you have the lens covered.

so whats happening is when the phone detects the lens is covered it switched to the main shooter with digital zoom.

The way I figured this out was by covering th zoom lens and clicking zoom over and over and I noticed that when I did it quick I seen my finger covering up the shot very briefly.

So if you switch to 2x zoom and slowly move your finger over the zoom lens you can see your finger creep up but when it covers enough it switches to the main shooter with digital zoom.

I confirmed by taking 2 pictures both at 2x zoom and one with finger completely covering the zoom lens and one with my finger just barely in the shot so I could tell what lens was being used and the one with my finger just barely in it was waaay clearer and had much more detail.

This is a pretty neat little trick they do to help with fingers in pictures.
