In the Motion Eye camera of the flagship smartphone Xperia XZ2, Sony uses not only mobile technologies for smartphones, but also developments from professional α cameras and compact Cyber-shot models. It is based on the Exmor RS matrix with built-in memory, high-quality optics G Lens and a fast BIONZ processor for image processing. In addition, the Xperia XZ2 camera integrates with the Spectra 280 ISP image processing signal processor in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip, which allows you to collect more information about the color and brightness of the scene and improve the quality of mobile shooting in general.
A few years ago, in mobile photography, they focused on fast focusing, stabilization, the presence of a pro-mode for manually changing the shooting parameters, detailing and color reproduction of the image. Now all this has become the standard for flagship smartphones, and therefore intellectual algorithms and technologies that were previously available only in professional and semi-professional cameras come out on top. For example, for video, this is shooting video in 4K HDR format, providing high contrast, detail and color transfer, as well as super-slow shooting at 960 frames per second, which was first introduced on the market in Xperia XZ1, and in Xperia XZ2 received support for recording from Full HD resolution. For photography, predictive photography has become a technology that automatically detects a smile and movement and starts recording information from the camera's sensor before pressing the shutter button, as well as tracking autofocus, which is able to predict the motion path of an object in the frame and not release it from the sharpness zone.
To show the capabilities of the Sony Xperia XZ2 camera, we prepared a series of photos from Istanbul and Cappadocia, taken in different light conditions: at dawn, during the day, at dusk, in overcast and sunny weather, and also indoors. The first ten shots are originals, the second - with a slight color correction, that is, as we usually prepare publications for Instagram and other social networks.
