Shoot video as you zoom into your shot, or experiment with time lapse of the moon’s movement across the sky. It’s at this point that I think most people would agree the resulting image is, for better or worse, fake. The P900’s Vibration Reduction image stabilization means you can handhold the camera as you zoom into the moon. That widespread industry acclaim ultimately persuaded the all-powerful NASA to select the French firm to supply lenses for the conquest of space. Bounce them in time to the rhyme, and then act like they’re the rocket and lift them up at ‘blast off!

Samsung did not immediately respond to The Verge’s request for comment, but we’ll update this piece if they get back to us.

Our Zoom Zoom Zoom nursery rhyme resource features bold illustrations and will look spectacular when used as a display item in your classroom.

The series is ideal for both home and school, with gorgeous colour illustrations, tips for parents, and fun activity ideas. It’s a tricky question to answer, and one that’s going to become increasingly important and complex as computational techniques are integrated further into the photographic process.Photographing the moon along with the foreground landscape can be tricky because of the wide dynamic range. Use the camera’s Dynamic Fine Zoom, an enhanced digital zoom that effectively doubles the reach—to a 4000mm equivalent! The generous interpretation is that Samsung’s process captures blurry details in the original photograph and then upscales them using AI. If you’re using a wide-angle lens and the moon is a small element, it likely won’t cause the overall image to suffer if the moon is blown out with no visible details.

While a nice image, it’s not really “insane” resolution – at a rough estimate, it seems to be about 20-30 megapixel actual resolution. If you lose sight of your subject while zoomed in, press the Snap-Back Zoom button for a quick zoomed-out view. Next they needed to develop a new mechanical processing method to prevent the grease - usually used on earth - evaporating in a vacuum and fogging the lenses. People have been asking questions about Samsung’s Moon photography ever since the company unveiled a 100x “Space Zoom” feature in its S20 Ultra in 2020.In fact, by the early 1960s the Angénieux brand had already built a solid reputation in the United States thanks to the success of its lenses for the motion picture industry, and through its work for television with the American camera manufacturer RCA from 1958.
