Just yesterday we first heard that the OnePlus 9 series will be officially unveiled on March 23, and already now we get more details about the new photography set that the company is working on together with the photography giant Hasselblad. As part of the new details, we discover up-to-date information about the IMX789 sensor, which is specially designed for the OnePlus 9 series.

The sensor in question supports the technology Dual Native ISO To expand the dynamic range and reduce digital noise in the image, in Full-Pixel Omni-Directional autofocus and in 4K recording at 120 frames per second and in 8K at 30 frames per second. The implication in Full-Pixel autofocus is of course that the entire sensor uses 100% of the pixels for both focusing and processing, which means that focus can be performed on any area in the sensor.

In addition, the sensor supports HDR video recording, and the technologyDOL-HDR Sony’s for HDR processing in images instantly, which prevents HDR images that combine multiple frames to display a slightly blurry final image due to people moving and the processing not consolidating them properly. At the same time, we can take pictures in RAW format in 12-bit format, which will make the amount of information that can be played with in post-photo editing much larger and wider.

In the transition to wide-angle photography, here One Plus noted yesterday that the devices will be able to shoot at a panoramic angle of 140 degrees, But did not reveal how it plans to do so other than using a freeform lens that prevents distortion when creating wide-angle images. Now, the technique she will use is revealed and reveals to us that the pair of cameras at the bottom of the array capture the image in parallel, both of which transmit light through a 90-degree prism to create a panoramic image at a 140-degree angle without distortion.

One area where we do not usually see improvements is the area of ​​selfie cameras, but this year One Plus has chosen to focus on it as well and give it a significant improvement. The new selfie camera in the device will offer autofocus 5-10 times faster than a standard selfie camera, and when combined with a lower minimum focus range which now stands at 15 cm, we get a camera that can produce sharp images at significantly better speeds than its predecessors.
