iPhone 12 pro max lidar and telescope photography

Won't the lidar sensor interfere when using the iPhone 12 pro max attached to a telescope eyepiece? When using a smart phone camera in telescope photography, the camera lens is placed directly above the telescope eyepiece. The lidar sensor is then slightly to the side of the eyepiece, not right above it. Won't that create problems?

iPhone 11 as a secondary camera for zoom- not changing orientation I’m having an issue with my iPhone 11 not adjusting the orientation during a zoom presentation where the phone is being used as a secondary camera ( aka shared screen). If I go to any other app on the phone, the orientation adjusts, and reflects the adjustment on my zoom presentation, but I switch back to camera mode and I automatically get portrait. to be clear, the phone shows the change in orientation, but it doesn’t reflect on the zoom platform as such. This only occurs in camera mode. iphone 11 UTD imac 27” UTD tethered physically. please advise.

Iphone 13 pro is not focusing correctly when I try to make pictures through a plexi glass. When I try to make a picture from behind a plexi canopy, the camera is often focusing on the plexi glass, in stead of the landscape behind it. To the naked eye the plexi is clear, but I guess the LIDAR is detecting it as a surface on which it focuses. Any fixes for that?

Using Front Ipad camera for Zoom and TEAMS calls — need wide angle i use my Ipad for Zoom and team meetings, and I have a 2021 IPad Air as well a 2020 IPad Air, both with cameras on the “top” of the iPad if you hold the iPad vertical. The problem is that in this position the camera reverts to a narrow image and crops either side of the view, which looks strange when I’m in a room with 50 other people who do not have this issue. Looks like I’m calling in my iPhone. I put my iPad in the horizontal position for zoom calls, then I get the view I want … but then I’m not looking at people directly on zoom and I’m off to the side. Frustrating. So question is this: is there a way to get the iPad front camera to operate as a wide angle lens? It doesn’t seem to have this problem when the iPad is horizontal, so you’d think this issue could be solved with software or an update. Thanks!
