The iPhone camera had a single lens until the introduction of the dual lens iPhone 7 Plus.
Then the first three lens design was included on iPhone 11 Pro.
The iPhone 14 Pro has three cameras each with a CMOS sensor one for each of its three lenses. A 48 megapixel wide angle main camera, a 12 megapixel 120-degree view ultra wide angle and a 12 megapixel telephoto.
That’s a huge upgrade in iPhone image capture. More detail. Better low light photography.
iPhone seamlessly changes from one camera to the other as you zoom in or out. When you capture an image, all three cameras capture the same image or video. Then Deep Fusion, Apple’s neural image processing technology, uses artificial intelligence to merge images from different exposures into a single image or video.
If a lens didn’t capture parts of the image properly, Deep Fusion replaces those pixels with pixels from one of the other cameras to create the highest quality image or video possible.
Plus Apple seamlessly integrates image stabilization, high dynamic range exposure capture, low light image capture and shallow depth of field focusing effects into the iPhone Pro.
This on-going series borrows from the long-practiced tradition of the self portrait to create tributes to photographers whose images have influenced how I work and how I tell a story with images. References portraits of and self portraits by the photographers.
Self portrait. Vivian Maier tribute No. 1.
Jump to any Point of View how to guide, process deep dive or a pre iPhone portfolio plus how influences shape the storytelling process and a memoir that looks at the story behind the stories and to Nonlinear Content galleries and stories.
