With the 1/3.5-inch format or 4.0 by 3.0 millimeters, the sensor is again a bit smaller than the "2x sensor" that was cut out of the center of the main camera.
That is still enough for decent photos under good lighting conditions.Īt 3x zoom, Apple then switches to the next 12-megapixel sensor (which is actually more like 3.2x with an equivalent focal length of 77 millimeters). With the 2x zoom, Apple simply cuts out a 12-megapixel section from the center of the sensor, which then still measures 4.9 by 3.7 millimeters on the sensor - and thus roughly corresponds to the 1/3-inch format. The iPhone 14 Pro's main camera is a 1/1.28-inch image sensor that measures 9.8 by 7.3 millimeters, with a 48 MP resolution. See a comparison of the effective sensor sizes in the iPhone 14 Pro.
The degree of decrease depends on the camera in question. As digital magnification increases, the quality will naturally decrease. When zooming using the two-finger gesture in the camera app, the smartphone now digitally zooms into the image of one camera until the magnification of the next camera module is reached before it makes the switch. The iPhone 14 Pro has one sensor for the ultra-wide angle (0.5x), one for the wide-angle (1x), and one for the telephoto (3x). Instead, there are separate sensors for different zoom levels. Unlike full-blown digital cameras, the vast majority of smartphones do not have zoom lenses that can change the focal length by shifting the lenses, due to space limitations. How does the 2x zoom in the iPhone 14 Pro work? The iPhone 14 Pro (Max) has a 48 MP resolution camera for the very first time. However, the exciting feature of extremely high-resolution sensors is not the 100 MB photos used for prints in the house, but for their zoom.
After the first 108 MP smartphone hit the market at the end of 2019, the 200 MP mark was crossed this month with the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra (review) and Xiaomi 12T Pro (hands-on).Įven the earlier mentioned iPhone 14 Pro has jumped to a 48 MP camera this year, which is very unusual for Apple. The ante continues to rise in 2022 where the insane megapixel race is concerned.
