Hello,
I've been searching for the sensor size, pixel pitch, and other related specs of my iphone 11's main camera for a long while. I've stumbled upon many places that gave inconsistent values, and are hoping to get some clarity on some terms.
From this site https://capturetheatlas.com/camera-sensor-size/, they said the sensor size is 6.17x4.55mm. Diag: 7.666mm.
While in this post https://www.reddit.com/r/cinematography/comments/dadfas/gate_dimensions_of_individual_iphone_11_pro/, the OP found 5.88x4.42mm from EXIFdata. The primary camera should be the same on both the Pro and normal. So the Diag:7.356mm.
And if I'm understanding the following statement correctly from https://www.dxomark.com/apple-iphone-11-camera-review/, "Primary: 12MP 1/2.55-inch sensor with 1.4µm pixels and 26mm f/1.8-aperture lens", then the diagonal of the sensor size is 1/2.55-inches or 9.906mm.
So yeah as one can see, there's a lot of confusing info out there, and I'm not sure what to trust. But I wish to at least get some clarifications for now. Please let me know if I have the following terms correctly understood?
12MP refers to total # of pixels on the camera sensor
1/2.55-inch refers to the diagonal length of the camera sensor
1.4µm pixels refers to the pixel pitch or dot pitch
26mm is the focal length in 35mm equivalent
f/1.8-aperture lens refers to the size of the aperture
Hey everyone
I’ve just bought the iPhone 11 and started exploring its cameras. I made two identical photos on wide and ultra wide cameras and noticed that the photo from the last one is much less detailed than the first one. The files’ sizes are the same — around 3 megabytes, but the objects are less sharp on ultra wide and I can zoom deeper on the wide camera’s photo. Here’re the screenshots of zoomed images: ultra and regular. Here’re the originals: ultra and regular.
I thought the cameras are identical and have the same MP resolution. What’s the reason of this difference?
