Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) helps quickly lock focus even on wide-angle shots. The Sony Xperia 1 VI features a 12 MP ultrawide lens with an f/2.2 aperture and a 123˚ field of view, perfect for capturing expansive landscapes and large group shots. Its 1/2.5" sensor size and 1.4µm pixel size offer improved light sensitivity, ensuring vibrant and detailed images even in challenging lighting conditions. The dual pixel PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus) provides fast and accurate focusing, making it ideal for dynamic and wide-angle shots.
Periscope Telephoto Camera This 12 MP periscope telephoto camera has an f/2.8 aperture and a 120mm focal length, enabling 5x optical zoom for capturing distant subjects with clarity. The 1/3.06" sensor and 1.12µm pixel size are optimized for zoom shots, while dual pixel PDAF ensures fast and precise focusing. It also features advanced 3D sensor-shift optical image stabilization to minimize blur when zoomed in.
Macro Camera
Depth Camera The TOF 3D LiDAR scanner is a depth-sensing sensor that uses time-of-flight technology to measure how long it takes light to bounce off objects and return to the sensor. This creates a detailed 3D map of the environment, enabling precise depth perception. It's commonly used for enhanced autofocus, portrait effects, and augmented reality (AR) applications.
Night Vision Camera
Features The dual-LED dual-tone flash combines two different color temperatures to produce more natural-looking lighting in low-light photos. HDR (High Dynamic Range) enhances image quality by capturing multiple exposures and merging them for better detail in both bright and dark areas. This feature works in both standard photos and panoramas, ensuring balanced and vivid results. The Sony Xperia 1 VI's main camera features Zeiss optics with a Zeiss T* lens coating, ensuring superior clarity and reduced reflections for sharp, high-quality images. It also includes a color spectrum sensor for accurate color reproduction and an LED flash for better low-light performance. Additional features like panorama, HDR, and eye tracking enhance your photography experience, offering wide-angle shots, improved dynamic range, and precise focus on subjects' eyes, even in motion.
Video This camera supports versatile video recording, offering 4K at up to 120fps and 1080p at up to 240fps for ultra-smooth slow motion. It captures high-quality footage with 10-bit HDR, Dolby Vision HDR (up to 60fps), and Apple ProRes for professional-grade color and detail.
