Cameras mounted on smartphones are constantly being improved and it is also possible to shoot 4K quality with that small sensor, but with the restriction of the physical space, it will mount a high-quality zoom lens There was an aspect that it is difficult to do. In order to solve such a problem, Zeiss (Zeiss), which develops optical equipment such as lenses, has applied for a patent that can replace multiple types of lenses by placing a rotating lens like a microscope inside the terminal .

Carl Zeiss AG applied to the German Patent and Trademark Office as a device that mounted multiple lenses on a rotating plate and can be replaced with lenses according to the purpose by turning it with a screw. In the device entitled "miniaturized zoom camera", a plurality of lenses (7) having different focal lengths mounted on a lens base (10) are disposed between the image sensor (9) and a normal fixed lens (6) It is designed to have the same function as exchanging the lens of a single lens reflex camera by rotating it.


As a technique to make it possible to photograph higher quality pictures by physically separating a plurality of lenses such as a proximity lens (left), a normal lens (middle), and a telephoto lens (right) as described below That's it.


In June 2017, HMD Global and Zeiss managed by former executives of NOKIA had released the following images in collaboration. NOKIA and Zeiss logo appears in both the left and right eyes, which suggests that some product will be announced in 2017, so it may be that a smartphone with a rotating lens actually appears .
