The camera has become an integral part of all smartphones on the market and in recent years has been able to fully replace cheap digital compacts with a price of up to approximately five thousand crowns. Of course, we must not compare the camera in iPhone with a digital SLR or a PEN, but if we look at cheap compacts and have a quality smartphoneone, we will take photos of similar quality with it. In addition, phones have an undeniable advantage over cameras in that they can be used for photos taken iPhoneIn the vast majority of cases, we are again looking at iPhone and we don't even have many mistakesanceven noticeable within a relatively small resolution.
Aby Apple improved the photos taken iOS device, has patented two new technologies that will improve the quality of the resulting photos. While the first patent concerns better focusing on the object and could become the future for any camera that uses autofocus, the second patent practically brings a virtual tripod and improves stabilization. To improve the focus, it uses Apple gravity and the position of the camera in relation to the ground and the given object. The patents are not very detailed in words, but you can look at them in the pictures that are the company Apple documents.
In short, however, it is a system composed of several elements that will ensure the capture of the object, stabilization and refocusing on the object in front of the camera. The result should be a centered and stabilized capture of a face or other element in shots with the possibility of refocusing into the depth of shot, which will be ensured by the gravity vector on the lens in cooperation with the lens motor.
In the second case then Apple he created what he calls a virtual tripod. The vast majority of current electronic devices that allow you to take photos or videos use a gyroscope for stabilization, whether electronic or real, when the lens itself is placed in the water surface, which prevents shaking. Apple found that the biggest problem with gyroscope stabilization is the device's ability to tell when the camera is moving intentionally and when it's not. The device can't automatically tell when there's intentional movement across the scene and when it's an error caused by, for example, a shaking hand. That's why the company came up with its own algorithm that can judge when the camera shake is unintentional and when it's intentional. iOS The device or any other device can automatically determine when to stabilize the video and when not to.
