- If you point it directly, the car’s leather sensor can permanently damage your phone camera.
- A Galaxy S24 Ultra owner reported similar damage after attending a laser heavy light show.
- Experts have warned that laser can be safe for the eyes, but the phone is still harmful to camera sensors, especially in the near range.
The smartphone users were most worried about the dangers of leaving their devices or weting them. However, with the stability of the flagship devices and the improvement of water proofing, you should be more worried about whether you will mistakenly roast your phone camera with lasers.
As highlighted by light DriveSome Volvo EX90 owners are hardly learning that leather sensors on the SUV roof can seriously mess with your phone camera. A Reddest user shared a video showing that when the device’s infrared laser is hit by the lens of the phone – fried pixels and visible damage that does not end. Watch the video to see the damage caused by real -time.
The matter was so serious that Volvo issued a warning earlier this year, which clearly stated on the support page, “Do not identify the camera directly on the leather.” The company explained Drive “Near -up” shots are the actual risk, and they have offered a tip for careful photographers: filters or protective covers can help, and some camera sensors have built -in defense. But in general, if you see a leather pod, it is better to point to your phone elsewhere.
The video contains pixels on the colorful spectacle camera that are fried by the Leather System.
And this is not just Leader. Last week’s separate Reddate Post, which was shared in the R/Samsungglaxy subdidate, tells the same story. After attending a local program with colorful lighting and laser effects, a Samsung Galaxy S24 ultra user saw that the main lens of his phone created a strange white dot and two lines together. This sample remains in apps that use the camera and only appear on the specific zoom surface. According to other commentators in the thread, these are a sign of a laser damage.
None of this should be surprised for a laser profession. The International Laser Display Association (ILDA) has long warned that camera sensors are weaker than the human eye. Although concert lasers are usually eye -protected, they can easily fry phone camera sensors, especially when the full laser beam enters the camera lens directly. This is why laser show producers refrain from killing professional video devices and projectors where possible, but they may not be responsible for the camera in the pocket of every member of the audience.
With leather -equipped vehicles and laser heavy light shows, these events can happen more often. This is a problem that most people do not know until it is too late, and their $ 1,000 phone is trapped with a permanent stain.
