Lossless telephoto sensor to flagships
The new telephoto sensor developed by LG Innotek allows for lossless zooming between 4x and 9x. Moreover, thanks to its compact structure, it also saves space.
While zooming at 2x or 3x level without loss in today’s telephoto sensors, it is possible to reach levels such as 50x or 100x with software support. However, at these points, the image quality begins to deteriorate.
LG’s telephoto sensor includes a very small zoom trigger. Thanks to this trigger in the lenses of DSLR cameras, there is no loss of image quality up to 9x.
Compatible with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the sensor will also offer features such as autofocus, auto shutter, auto white balance, lens shading correction. It is stated that LG and Qualcomm are working together on this issue. LG will unveil its new lens at CES 2023.
