Apple patents new Lytro-camera technology for iPhone

November 26, 2013 By David Leave a Comment

apple-patent-iphone-camera Apple has become well known for patenting ideas they never bring to their products, but this new camera patent may actually be added onto the next iPhones in the coming years and could really vamp up the power and performance of the iPhone camera for the average user.

The iPhone camera is already one of the best in the industry, scaling past most Android devices and only getting hit hard by the Lumia 1020 and other high-end Nokia devices with incredibly high megapixel cameras. Even still, Apple’s camera is seen as the best camera for just taking a photo and making sure it look great, without having to add one hundred settings and get the right exposure levels.

This new patent essentially offers a way to refocus the image after the user has taken the photo, we have seen this feature on the odd Lytro camera. This means a photo can have multiple focuses and allows the user to change the focus if they picked the wrong face or image.

Apple has just updated their camera on the iPhone 5S, offering a dual-LED flash and a longer-range lens to capture more in the photo. Putting chunky Lytro refocus technology into the very slim iPhone may take a while to actually finesse and we doubt the iPhone 6 will have this feature.

The patent has been worked on by Steve Jobs before his death and it looks like the ex-CEO tried his hardest to “revolutionise photography” amongst many of his other big moves in the world before he died, most of which Apple has not worked on since, especially the TV project Jobs had apparently cracked.

As always with Apple patents, we wouldn’t get your hopes up on having the Lytro camera feature anytime soon – in fact, we may never see the camera be able to do this, it may be so far out of reach alongside Apple’s current efforts of getting the iPhone even thinner.

Nexus 5 will be the first smartphone to have MEMS camera

October 3, 2013 By David Crozier Leave a Comment

google-nexus-5-specs Early views of the Nexus 5 show an oddly designed camera, looking sort of like a small spinning disc, but there may be some functionality behind the odd design if a new rumor is correct.

According to a new rumor, the Nexus 5 will have a MEMS camera. For those that don’t follow any camera related blogs, this means the Nexus 5 camera will has faster focus and quick burst shots without slower processing or damage to the photo quality.

Lytro is the most common use of the MEMS camera, with the ability to refocus images after the photo was taken and take hundreds of shots in quick succession without drops in quality or lacklustre speed.

We are not sure if the Nexus 5 will incorporate the ability to re-focus after a photo had been taken, it would be a impressive feature to add onto the smartphone, but one that would need work done to make the UI simple.

The Nexus 5 will have 1/3.2-inch 8MP sensor, a little smaller than some top end smartphones, but the features on the MEMS camera will make up for this, with incredibly fast focus in any conditions and quick burst modes.

We are sure Google is working on camera features for the upcoming Android KitKat 4.4 release, with the UI for Android 4.2 still a little strange for some users, we may see a redesign and some new features like multi-focus and change-focus.

The Nexus 5 has been pictured quite a few times and we have a good idea on what is coming, with some impressive hardware to compete against the top end on Android and new software, which will only be available on a Nexus device for the first months.

Google is likely to announce the Nexus 5 at an event in October, the same event should play host to the new Android KitKat release, the Nexus 10 and the possible successor to the Nexus Q, Google’s media player failure.
