Oppo with the Reno 10 series sets a new industry standard in portrait photography
Photos and videos have transformed the way we communicate and for this reason users expect ever higher performance from the camera of their smartphones. As a result, smartphone manufacturers are constantly looking for new ways to create powerful and smart features that allow everyone to achieve professional results. The hardware innovations, the improvement of photographic optics, image processing systems are just some of the challenges that the smartphone industry is facing. Also OPPOone of the world’s leading companies in the smart device sector, is constantly striving to offer camera systems capable of returning clear and true-to-life images.
OPPO, in addition to being engaged in technology research, has conducted extensive research on professional photography and collaborated closely with experts from around the world in such areas as portrait photography, studio and lighting design, and post-effects. production. In this journey in search of a timeless photographic aesthetic, which is based on immortalizing the real relationship between light and shadow on the same level as a professional camera, collaboration with these professionals and related studies of their art and style have been essential findings in OPPO’s research.
This aesthetic takes on a new form with the latest edition of the series OPPO Reno 10: the implementation of new technologies has allowed the creation of a professional photographic experience in the field of portraits, taking into account all aspects of the imaging chain, from image acquisition and processing to their display, setting a new point reference for smartphone portrait photography.
The Reno 10 Series sets a new standard for smartphone portrait photography
The excessive use of artificial intelligence for image processing can lower the quality of the shots, distorting their naturalness, in particular the relationship between light and shadow. As a result, the real world is reduced to one 2D representation on the smartphone, creating an aesthetic that is not very faithful to reality. While such images may suit contemporary needs, they lack depth and beauty, missing the essential purpose of photography, which is to faithfully capture the moment and preserve it forever.
In order to create timeless masterpieces not tied to any particular style or era, OPPO has sought to answer the question of how computational photography can help users capture the beauty of the real world. Taking a step back in the history of photography, OPPO has discovered that this desire to capture the true aesthetics of the real world is an innate human instinct that has remained so regardless of the evolutions in camera technology. Similarly, traditional photography has always been attractive and admired despite the great advances in digital photography. Although traditional photography requires the use of complicated equipment and a significant amount of training and experience, this art form still attracts many people who are willing to spend hours in darkroom or in front of a reflex camera to capture the world around them. OPPO believes that this tradition and the knowledge and experience that comes with it are exactly what photography needs today. The aim is to combine this expertise with contemporary digital techniques to build an imaging system capable of reproducing an ultra-realistic interconnection between light and shadowspace and colors.
End-to-end updates enable professional photographic results on smartphones
On the new Reno 10 series, OPPO has implemented end-to-end updates for the entire image management, from shooting to processing and displaying the same. As the first component in the image capture chain and the bridge between the camera sensor and the light of the outside world, the camera lens plays a vital role in image quality. On OPPO Reno 10 5G and OPPO Reno 10 Pro 5GOPPO introduced an independent 2X portrait telephoto lens for the first time in the history of Reno, representing a significant step forward in improving image sharpness and quality.
Behind this lens lies a broad 32 MP, 1/2.74-inch sensor capable of capturing light with greater color sensitivity. The camera features a 2X optical zoom with a large f/2.0 aperture and a minimum focusing distance of just 25cm, providing greater compositional freedom when using the optical zoom with a 47mm equivalent focal length. The ability to zoom in on distant landscapes without zooming in on the foreground subject allows you to focus on both the subject and the background, blending them seamlessly. If you need additional magnification, OPPO Reno10 Pro 5G also offers one 5X zoom based on In-sensor Zoom technology at OPPO.
Other characteristics
In addition to these features, a spin coating process has also been used on the lenses which creates a film that absorbs infrared light and reduces reflections and increases image clarity. Although the camera design of the series Reno10 favors the acquisition of high quality shots, image processing still plays a key role in ensuring that this information is captured and presented in the best possible way.
The renowned Portrait Fashion of the Reno series also returns to OPPO Reno10 Pro 5G with several updates. Drawing on the image processing capabilities of your smartphone, Portrait Mode introduces an improved bokeh blur effect that has been tested against professional camera lenses to produce a highly realistic level, working on different depths and reflections based on the lighting and to the objects in a scene. With the ability to open the aperture freely from anywhere between F1.4 and F16, each portrait can be customized to achieve just the right kind of effect bokeh and depth of field.
The updated portrait processing also includes advanced coding algorithms that separate the subject image from the background with greater precision. In detail, the accuracy of the AI algorithms has been improved through special training for portraits that allows them to better detect hand-held objects, small body movements, etc. In addition to this, multi-semantic segmentation has been implemented to improve the accuracy with which they are detected repetitive textures and any other subjects in the scene, using feathering algorithms to optimize the appearance of edges in images based on depth data.
The device screen as the last stage of taking and reviewing photos is as important as all the other components that precede it: without a high-quality screen on which to view photos, all other improvements are in vain. So to give the photos and videos you take the stage they deserve, OPPO Reno10 and OPPO Reno10 Pro both come with a display Billion Colora big step up from the traditional 16.7 million colors that increases the color richness by 64 times.
OPPO is committed to allowing everyone to create their own professional shots
OPPO is undertaking an ambitious project, called “Portrait Expert“, to create a professional portrait experience on the Reno Series, starting with the Reno10 Series. This initiative will involve a group of portrait painters from different parts of the world, who will share their valuable experience and multicultural backgrounds. This will result in significant improvements in subject recognition and separation of character from background, ensuring protection of facial features and skin tone, optimization of facial sharpness, adjustment of highlights and shadows, and special attention to background optimization.
Along with the inputs of the Portrait Expert Group, OPPO is also collecting feedback from its global users through the new OPPO Imagine IF Photography Project, a global imaging platform designed to help OPPO users push the limits of expression through the latest photo and video technology. Officially introduced on April 17, the Imagine IF Photography Awards 2023 aim to encourage OPPO users around the world to express and explore artistic expression through new shooting experiences and inspire each other to unleash the infinite imaging possibilities.
This gave OPPO the opportunity to analyze what differentiates a contemporary photo, perfect for Instagram, from a true masterpiece that transcends both time and cultures. In the new Reno10 series, OPPO continues to narrow the gap between smartphone cameras and expensive ones High-end DSLR, offering comprehensive improvements and allowing everyone to take professional and timeless shots.
