maybe a silly question, but do multiple camera lenses on phones serve the purpose of maintaining FOV on a larger sensor (as opposed to just one camera)?

Meta has recently talked about pancake lenses (where there are multiple stacked lenses to improve quality with lower focal length). How would that work in this case?

@crystal I was also curious and did some research and I found out that phones often have multiple cameras with different lenses and the photos taken from these cameras are then combined to create an image that is more clear and more sharp than either camera can achieve by themselves.

This relates to project 3-2 part 4, we want to figure out the right aperature and distance to focus the image
