- Vivo product manager Han Boxiao revealed details on the Chinese social network about an improved image stabilization upgrade.
- The main camera features 3° image stabilization, which offers twice the range of motion compared to the Vivo X300 Ultra.
- Vivo states that this allows for exposure times up to seven f-stops longer without photos appearing blurry.
- Without image stabilization, the limit is around 1/24 of a second, but with this stabilization, sharp photos are possible with an exposure time of 4 seconds without a tripod, provided the subject isn't moving.
- Such effective image stabilization enables low-light photos with longer shutter speeds and lower ISO, resulting in wider dynamic range and less image noise.
- The new image stabilization is also expected to offer advantages for video, such as more effectively compensating for movement while walking.
- Vivo has confirmed the main camera can record 4K video at 240 fps, and a 50 MP Sony L910 sensor in the 1/1.28-inch format is expected.
Vivo's X500 Pro Max is set to revolutionize smartphone photography with its innovative 3° gimbal-OIS, which offers twice the stabilization range of its predecessor, the X300 Ultra. This technology allows for exposure times up to four seconds without a tripod, enabling users to capture sharp images even in low-light conditions.
According to Vivo product manager Han Boxiao, the new stabilization system significantly enhances the camera's performance, allowing for seven f-stops longer exposure times without blurriness. Previously, the limit for handheld shots was around 1/24 of a second, but the X500 Pro Max's capabilities promise to change that.5
The improved stabilization not only benefits photography but also enhances video recording, effectively compensating for movement while walking. The main camera is expected to record 4K video at 240 fps and will utilize a 50 MP Sony L910 sensor in a 1/1.28-inch format, further elevating the device's multimedia capabilities. Further details regarding the telephoto camera are anticipated to be revealed soon, adding to the excitement surrounding this flagship model.8
“The stabilization allows exposure times up to seven f-stops longer without blur, and Vivo confirms 4K video at 240 fps with a 50 MP Sony L910 sensor. Further telephoto details are set to be confirmed on Wednesday.”
