According to reports from the supply chain, the main cameras on the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will use sensor-shift technology instead of the existing optical image stabilization. The main feature of this technology is that it moves the sensor rather than the lens during shooting, which can improve the camera’s ability to capture moving subjects.
It is reported that replacing lens movement with sensor-shift movement can improve the success rate of taking photos and reduce shake, which will be greatly beneficial for night scenes and candid shots.
This is the first time sensor-shift technology has been applied to smartphones. Previously, this technology had been used in high-end digital cameras such as Pentax and Olympus.
Earlier reports indicated that the iPhone 12 Pro Max has a larger sensor than the 12 Pro. The digital zoom capabilities of the iPhone 12 and the optical zoom performance of the iPhone 12 Pro series will both be significantly improved.
Earlier today, a leaker claimed that all iPhone 12 models will see a significant improvement in digital zoom through software optimization, while the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will also benefit from enhanced optical zoom capabilities. Additionally, a new ‘macro photography feature’ might be introduced, allowing the ultra-wide lens on the Pro models to shoot at closer distances, with the aperture size increased by 35% to improve low-light performance.
