Sensor-Shift technology is used to replace the current OIS optical anti-shake technology to enhance video anti-shake and camera capture dynamic effects, such as more powerful capture function and better imaging effect.
Previously, OIS optical anti-shake scheme was widely used in smart phones, which was mainly realized by VCM motor driving lens for angle correction. But for a long time, this scheme has some shortcomings, such as high power consumption, limited anti-shake effect, large product volume and high unit price. The main reason why OIS is not popular on some cheap smartphones is the high cost.
Sensor-Shift technology can avoid these defects of OIS anti-shake technology, but because this technology is too demanding, only the high version is equipped in this new iPhone 12.
The news that the new iPhone 12 will be equipped with Sensor-Shift technology began in February 20 19. In mid-September this year, the reporter of Science and Technology Innovation Board learned exclusively from the supply chain that this technology would indeed be adopted. 10 year 10 9, this news was confirmed by the supply chain again.
People in the supply chain told Science and Technology Innovation Board magazine that this new anti-shake technology was developed by Apple and passed the OEM module of LGIT, Apple's largest camera factory. Combined with the algorithm independently developed by Apple, new imaging functions can be realized, such as super-resolution, 3D imaging, background blur, VR/AR imaging and a finer and smoother AI experience.
The journal reporter of the Science and Technology Innovation Committee noted that this is the first time that sensor displacement has been used in smart phones. It used to appear in high-end digital cameras, such as Pentax and Olympus, all using similar technology. A smart camera with Sensor -Shift technology moves the sensor instead of the lens when taking pictures, which will make the smart phone appear better in capturing dynamic functions.
Previously, the iPhone 1 1 Pro model had the optical anti-shake function for photos and videos, but it was only effective when using a wide-angle or telephoto lens.
