Lanjutan dari pelancaran siri iPhone 13, Apple telah menyatakan perancangan bagi pembangunan kamera untuk iPhone dilakukan dalam tempoh tiga tahun.
Naib Presiden Kejuruteraan Perkakasan Kamera, Graham Townsend dan Naib Presiden Kejuruteraan Perisian Kamera, Jon McCormack memberitahu kepada majalah British, GQ.
Kedua-duanya memaklumkan pihaknya telah memulakan pembangunan sistem kamera untuk siri iPhone 13 seawal 2018.
“The planning has to start about three years ahead, because that’s when we actually fix the specification of the silicon,” says Townsend. “So, for instance, the sensor gets defined at that point and the A15 Bionic processor is also frozen. That’s when we have to begin to talk with Jon and predict the experiences that we want. Obviously when we designed the new ultra-wide lens, we were going to deliver macro photos. But how is that going to work both in stills and video?”
Keempat-empat model iPhone 13 menampilkan mod Cinematic baharu yang membolehkan pengguna merakam video dengan sedikit depth of field. Ia juga boleh mengubah fokus antara subjek secara automatik. Menurut Jon McCormack:
“It was a long process with lots of windy roads, but like most profound things it takes a while,” says McCormack. “We’re not just looking at the depth of every single frame, but there’s also this thing called temporal stability: as we move between frames with people moving, how do we make sure you don’t end up with weird edges and stuff like that?”
