have you ever wondered why your smartphone camera generates better or maybe worse pictures than other phones we are pretty sure you did if you care about your stills i'm anthony nog and we've talked to Oliver front sights at Microsoft booth to better understand what all the imaging fuss was all about slice has been doing lenses for more than a hundred years now and the first plunge into the smartphone business was back in 2004 with the Nokia and 90 remember that fast forward to today and the Lumia 930 and Lumia 830 are marketed by Microsoft as the boast Lumia 1020 camera flagship alongside the Lumia 1520 size told us that any manufacturer could except producing a single segment of the imaging system which consists of lenses or optics the imaging sensor and the image processing however only the real good ones are involved in developing the entire system and size is doing just that despite initially only supplying the optics we've looked at the sensors from the Lumia 1020 9:38 30 15 26:40 XL and some more and we understand that there's a tremendous amount of work behind the shutter button or the final image which you snap with your phone and upload the social media we also understand that in many cases it is all about a decision to include lower quality imaging system components in order to keep the costs down or smaller components because of size constraints we also understood that the same lenses and sensor could generate different results in different phones based on the software image processing this is also the case with the Lumia 930 and Lumia 1520 which share the same camera size had a Lumia 930 camera module dissected in front of a microscope where they showed off the entire system from the six lenses to the motor components that are responsible for your optical image stabilization with several Oscar Awards behind movies shut with size lenses the company is proud to call itself a major part in the imaging success most flagship Nakia now Microsoft phones we've also looked at the mobile microscope that size has developed it's not a final product but more of a technology study a proof-of-concept containing a set of snap-on lenses that you can add on top of your Lumia 1020 camera so you can have insane macro magnification on the go in the specific case of tie systems the light comes in through the lenses hits the sensor but it doesn't stop there and the company's implication doesn't stop either size is also involved with software image processing in order to optimize the end results from A to Z we've already known that the megapixel story is just a small part of the entire story but thanks to size we understand how tiny it is from the bigger picture and we also understand that while most manufacturers are using the same technologies more or less it all comes down to taking decisions important ones from materials to compromises and that can only be achieved with a lot of experience behind you we really hope that you've enjoyed this short presentation of course we have a lot more from MWC so subscribe to our YouTube channel social media and our main website I've been anthony noggin i thank you very much for watching until next time
