Kubonakala sengathi unyaka wamakhamera amabili. Leyo yintsha enkulu esiyibonile kulo nyaka ka-2016 kumaselula afana ne-LG G5, iHuawei P9, futhi manje i-iPhone 7 Plus. Kodwa-ke, kuzo zontathu izimo sithola izindlela ezihlukile zokusethwa kwamakhamera amabili. Manje i-Qualcomm ifika izositshela ukuthi ikusasa lamakhamera amabili lingaba yini.
Iyiphi ikhamera engcono kakhulu ekabili?
I-LG G5 ifike nekhamera ekabili empeleni okwakungamakhamera amabili ahlukene. Enye yezinkinga zamakhamera ihlobene neqiniso lokuthi ubude bawo bokugxila buyi-engeli ebanzi. Futhi lokhu akuyona into enhle yokuthwebula izithombe ze-portrait, okuyinto esiyithwebula izikhathi eziningi. Kungakho i-LG ihlanganise amakhamera amabili, eyodwa enobude bokugxila okude, nenye enobude bokugxila okubanzi. Okusho ukuthi, i-engeli ebanzi yezindawo, kanye ne-engeli ende yokuma ngobude. I-Apple yenze okufanayo nge-iPhone 7 Plus yayo, lapho ihlanganise khona amakhamera amabili anombono ofana kakhulu.
Kodwa-ke, uHuawei usehambe enye indlela, obuye waba nokusebenzisana komkhiqizo onjengoLeica, okungenzeka ukuthi uyeluleke kahle inkampani yaseChina. Okungenani, manje kubonakala sengathi babeqinisile ngokuphelele. Enye yezinkinga ngezinzwa ezincane kakhulu kumakhamera eselula wubunzima bokuthwebula ukukhanya okudingekayo. Yingakho i-Huawei ikhethe ubuchwepheshe bokusebenzisa inzwa ethwebula ukukhanya okungaphezulu kunenye, ithwebule isithombe esimnyama nokumhlophe, kuyilapho enye isithwebula ngombala. Ingabe lokhu kusebenza ngempela?
Nokho, kubonakala kunjalo, ngoba inkampani efana ne-Qualcomm inqume ukulandela indlela efanayo yekusasa lamakhamera amabili kuma-smartphone. Iphrosesa yayo entsha ye-Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 kanye ne-Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 izohlanganisa ubuchwepheshe be-Clear Sight, ngenxa yalokho iphrosesa ngokwayo izokwazi ukuphatha izithombe ezimbili ezithwetshulwe amakhamera amabili, eyodwa emnyama nemhlophe, futhi enye ngombala.
Masikhumbule ukuthi ngenxa yalobu buchwepheshe inzwa ye-monochrome iyakwazi ukuthwebula ukukhanya okuphindwe kathathu okutholwa inzwa yombala. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi asifaki noma yisiphi isihlungi sombala, kodwa ama-photosites athwebula ngokuqondile ukukhanya ngokuya ngomklamo wawo wangempela. Ngokuhlanganisa izithombe ezimbili singafinyelela isithombe sokugcina esinezinga elihle kakhulu lokukhanya, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo nezinga elihlaba umxhwele ngokwanele lemininingwane yombala.
Ikusasa lamakhamera amabili
Amakhamera amabili angaba yikusasa emhlabeni wama-smartphones. Cishe wonke amafoni asezingeni eliphezulu afika nekhamera yalolu hlobo, kanti ukuthi iQualcomm isinqume ukuthi ama-processor ayo avele ahlanganisa ubuchwepheshe ukucubungula izithombe kusho ukuthi bakubona njengekusasa lawo wonke ama-smartphone. Okwamanje, i-Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 ne-Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 zizokwazi ukusebenza ngokwemvelo ngalolu hlobo lwekhamera. Enye yamafoni alandelayo esiwalindele ngalawa maphrosesa i-Google Pixel entsha, kokubili ngokwehlukahlukana kwayo okujwayelekile, kanye nokwehluka okukhulu kakhulu, i-Google Pixel XL. Lawa ma-smartphones amabili angeza namakhamera amabili, noma okungenani esimweni seyodwa yawo. Futhi uma kunjalo, bazovele bahlanganise lobu buchwepheshe be-Qualcomm ukuze bakwazi ukuthatha izithombe ngekhamera ekabili i-smartphone engaba nayo. Into ehlekisayo ukuthi lokhu kuyaqhubeka nokuqhathanisa nendlela elandelwa yi-LG ne-Apple.
