OPPO‘s smartphones are known to come with excellent cameras. In a bid a to improve on its user’s experience, the brand has this week introduced hybrid optical zoom technology to enhance its camera features.
The new camera is based on a periscope camera architecture that uses a seven-piece lens for better image results.
According to OPPO, technology will deliver a sharp, lossless image experience across all focal lengths and allow consumers to experience “what you see is what you get†photography.
- Uses three groups of periscopic zoom lenses for a 7-lens total combination for superior optical performance and image resolution. The lens groups work together to adjust the focus.
- Relying on the flexible movement of two of the groups, the technology achieves optical zoom at equivalent focal lengths of 85mm and 135mm.
- Using f/3.3 and f/4.4 apertures, the groups fully utilize the optical capabilities of the lenses.
- The large sensor incorporates Fusion, a multi-focal length image fusion technology, multi-camera field-of-view alignment technology, and super-resolution algorithms to deliver a focal length coverage of 85mm to 280mm.
- The system includes a custom-designed 16-bit high-precision driver IC and corresponding auto-focus and optical stabilization modules.
- The latest hybrid zoom system utilizes a 16:11 wide and large imaging sensor with a maximum output of about 32 million pixels.
- With support for 4-in-1 pixel binning technology, the system enables full HD at both near and far distances and provides greater expansion potential for the development of wide-format and wide-angle imaging technology
OPPO’s new hybrid optical zoom technology will be expected on future smartphones. For now, no single word on when it will arrive on smartphones.
