South Korean electronics firm LG plans to launch a new micro camera for use in smartphones at the San Francisco International Electronics and Home Appliances Show.
said company G. Innotech, a subsidiary of LG that specializes in manufacturing electronic components, said the new micro camera combines the optical zoom (zoom) capabilities found in DSLR cameras with a slimmer design.
CNET.com, which specializes in technology issues, said that cameras equipped with the “optical zoom” function in smartphones are not new, but the new camera that LG is developing offers something different that allows you to magnify the subject of the image between 4x and 9x without needing to go back To any digital zoom to determine the required zoom value between the two values, as is the case today in fixed zoom cameras in smartphones.
Digital zoom technologies use software, not lenses, to magnify images, which can result in a significant reduction in image quality. At the same time, the collection of different options for optical zoom in one camera, as is the case with the upcoming LG camera, will help reduce camera space inside smartphones and increase battery efficiency, according to the company south korean.
At the same time, LG has reduced the thickness of the new camera unit to eliminate the extrusion currently found in smartphones in place of cameras. (DPA)
