Oppo Unveils New 85-200mm Continuous Zoom Lens, 5-Axis OIS System
Aug. 19, 2021Oppo’s New Imaging Technologies Unveiled
Starting with the new telephoto lens, it is an 85-200 mil lens with support for continuous zoom technology. Unlike the periscope lenses that are found in today’s high-end devices such as theSamsung Galaxy S20 Ultraor theHuawei P30 Pro, Oppo’s new lens elements move smoothly throughout the 85-200mm zoom range to capture crisp and clear pictures without the need of digital zoom, artificial sharpening, or cropping.
Moreover, as per the company, the new lens technology avoids some of the common imaging issues like white balance inaccuracy and color bias, which are there in traditional multi-camera zoom systems.
Along with this, Oppo also unveiled a new five-axis optical image stabilization (OIS) system to enable gimbal-level stabilization for smartphone cameras. The said technology leverages bothlens-shift and sensor-shift techniquesto stabilize cameras in different situations. Moreover, it uses data from a phone’s gyroscope sensor to better its capabilities. It also comes with the ability to roll the sensor along both the X and Y axes.
Lastly, the Chinese giant unveiled a new camera sensor that is based on an RGBW sub-pixel layout. This adds an additional white subpixel layer to enable a60% increase in light sensitivity. As per Oppo, the sensor is made using advanced manufacturing and processing technologies that increase its“level of computing power needed to execute complex algorithms and maximizing the amount of data extracted via the sensor’s white pixels.”
It uses the company’sproprietary 4-in-1 pixel algorithmto significantly boost color performance. Moreover, it solves a few issues of current sensors such as color inaccuracy and moiré patterns, which are the unwanted rainbow patterns that appear in photographs.
