This week Oppo hosted an online event Future Imaging Technology, where she made several important announcements in the field of mobile photography. The company first introduced a telephoto lens with continuous optical zoom.
Unlike the periscope used in modern cameras, the elements of the new lens are not limited by the specified zoom values. They are in a range equivalent to a focal length of 85-200mm. This allows the image to remain sharp when shooting at any distance without the need for digital zooming, cropping, or artificial sharpening.
The second novelty is a five-axis optical image stabilization system, which uses lens and sensor shift techniques, as well as motion data from a smartphone’s gyroscope. Oppo says this offers 3x better stabilization than standard OIS sensors. Oppo plans to introduce the technology to its line of smartphones launched in the first quarter of 2023.
The latest major announcement is a new image sensor that uses an RGBW subpixel scheme, adding additional white subpixels to the three primary colors to increase light sensitivity by 60%. The technology will appear in smartphones in the fourth quarter of 2023.
