What The Oppo Camera Lab Means To Photographers In India
Since the camera lab will focus on developing localized features, we can expect the future Oppo handsets to bring India-centric camera features, which can be new modes and filters tuned for the Indian skin tones.
The team will work on AI facial reconstruction technology to enhance the application of beauty solutions. We just hope that Oppo doesn't go too loud with the skin smoothening algorithms as that can lead to unnatural selfies and portraits.
Importantly, the camera experts at Oppo might consider the lighting conditions in India to improve the camera sensor's focusing speed, shutter lag and other important parameters such as white balance, HDR performance, etc.
Artificial Test Environments
As per Oppo, the camera lab will have state-of-the-art equipment to tune and generate a much realistic dataset and provide advanced quality imaging and video shooting experience. Camera experts will test phone cameras in different artificially set scenes to analyze data produced from those samples.
We had a chance to visit one of Oppo's camera labs in China where we learnt about the process the tech giant applies to its camera devices. We got a chance to have a first-hand experience of Oppo's specialized machines that test camera sensors' performance under different light sources, with different photography/videography scenarios.
Better Camera Optimizations
The machines and the processes are aimed at bringing more optimizations to the camera technology, something Oppo devices need to deliver a better photography experience.
Reno6 And Reno6 Pro- Innovative AI Video Features
We are currently testing the Reno6 handset that comes equipped with triple-lens camera hardware comprising a 64MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro camera.
On the software side, the Reno6 offers AI-enabled features such as Bokeh Flare Portrait Video, AI Highlight Video, Dual-Video mode, Movie mode, etc. These features can come in handy to shoot some creative videos with high-end DSLR camera-grade effects.
We will soon bring our comprehensive review of the handset to throw more light on the camera performance.
