14 DAY TRIAL // Digital cameras are not the only ones that reach the headlines and some of the major electronics manufacturers have already integrated powerful cameras into their latest smartphones, which now are capable of capturing even Raw images.
While the iPhone 5 enjoys a huge success on the market, Apple is already planning to improve the future generation camera features. A recent patent discovered by UnwiredView, confirms that the company is currently working on a new technology called “VCM OIS actuator module” that will add Optical Image Stabilization as well as an improved autofocus to future iPhones.
The new AF mechanism will be capable of moving the lens along the optical axis as well as actively tilting it at the same time. This will efficiently compensate camera movements allowing you to take clear, sharp photos in any shooting conditions.
According to the patent, Apple is working on the OIS technology since early 2012 and it should be ready just in time for the launch of iPhone 6.
