سونی سنسور دوربین 21 مگاپیکسلی جدید خود را معرفی کرد

Sony just launched what might be its best smartphone camera sensor yet, the 21 MP stacked IMX230 where the company uses image plane phase detection autofocus for the first time in a phone sensor. This plane phase detection tech is borrowed from mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras, and, with its 192 AF points, will allow for blur-free tracking and snapping of fast moving objects, like kids, cars or pets. Furthermore, the new Exmor RS IMX230 will now shoot not only real-time HDR video as before, be it in 4K, but also real-time HDR images, similar to Samsung’s S5 and Note 4 handsets, which would bring out darker areas, and tone down bright ones for a more even exposure throughout the frame. 192 points AF for fast-moving objects 192 points AF for fast-moving objects The company also said that it will be making a 16 MP sensor with the same image plane detection AF tech, which might go into midrangers we guess, and that would be a heck of a midranger. The 21 MP IMX230 is 1/2.4″ in size, which is a tad smaller than the 1/2.3″ in the Z3, for instance, but the difference is negligible. We will see how these more than 20 million 1.12 micron pixels behave in terms of noise suppression and low-light performance on that confined space, but at least on theory the new sensor sounds mighty promising, and hopefully we will see it in the upcoming Z4, as Sony states it will be put in mass production April 2015.
