Shulou(Shulou.com)06/03 Report--

Friends who are interested in astronomy must have heard of a recent observable phenomenon, that is, on the evening of April 27th, SpaceX's star chain passes through the moon, and Beijing happens to be an ornamental area. I was so excited that I waited in the community ahead of time that day without saying a word.

After being bitten by mosquitoes, at 08:40 in the evening, a weak string of threads gradually moved in. I raised my phone to operate, only to find that there was only a series of dark loneliness.

It really made me spend tens of thousands of yuan on a large aperture lens with a "short gun" on my back, step on a tripod everywhere, and take only one photo after three or four hours of exposure. I had better take a post-Photoshop course, and the livestock said it was really a little unrealistic.

Presumably, like me, many photography enthusiasts not only have a craving for professional photos, but also do not invest the time, energy and money of professional photography. Therefore, recently, the Glory 30 series has joined hands with the China National Astronomical Observatory and starry photographers to take "make-up photos" for the 12 constellations. I am really sour.

Is it possible that a mobile phone can achieve SLR effect?

The universe is far away: why does the starry sky become the dome of mobile photography?

The reason why I can't believe the starry sky photography ability of mobile phone. It's really because it's so difficult to make an excellent starry work.

First of all, starry photography needs a wide-angle or even ultra-wide-angle lens to put the beautiful Milky way and sky into the frame. Of course, a professional star photographer does not need too many lenses, but the equipment must be strong enough to meet the shooting needs. For example, the overall cost of full-frame fuselage and large-aperture lenses commonly used in the industry is about 20,000.

Secondly, the sensitivity of the equipment needed for starry photography should be strong enough, and the larger the aperture, the better. Because there are so many point light sources in the starry sky, the aperture and edge imaging ability of the lens should be strong enough to put them into the camera. Only the aperture is large enough to make it easier for the camera to capture the details of the light, making the stars look clearer and brighter in the picture and get a pure picture of the sky instead of being in a daze.

In the end, it's not that you have a great camera and lens, and you can make a great picture with a monkey there. Photographers are also required to manually adjust the parameters, set the exposure time, constantly try to see the effect, choose the best location, learn to use the equator, and avoid light pollution. After all this is done, you also need to master professional post-processing techniques to reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of the picture, and separate exposure and synthesis of heaven and earth.

It is not difficult to find that in this era when many mobile phones claim to be comparable to SLR shooting stars, shooting stars is still the zenith function of mobile photography. Because it not only needs excellent hardware support, but also can solve the threshold of hidden skills in the shooting process.

While watching the identity photos of the constellation taken by the Glory 30 series, it is said that it is also the first time that mobile phone manufacturers have recorded a complete image of the 12 constellations, which has achieved a professional-level presentation effect. So, can ordinary people like you and me make use of the glory mobile phone to realize the dream of star photography?

The Glory Patrol: sandwiches

Do not want to rely on the naked eye and memory to retain the beauty of the night sky, then photography tools are essential. Among the many smartphones that claim to be able to shoot stars, the Glory 30 series still has a unique answer this time.

Is it because the photographer is professional enough, or is the ability of the phone itself good enough? According to several abilities necessary for starry sky photography, we can disassemble the "sandwich logic" from the Glory 30 series of night sky photography:

1. The night shot brought by the super photosensitive camera may be.

Like SLR cameras, smartphones need high photosensitive elements to capture the night sky. The Glory 30 series introduces a 50 million-pixel supersensitive lens and a Sony IMX700 sensor.

In terms of hardware, the sensor IMX700 equipped with Glory 30 Pro+ has a size of 1.28 inches, which is the largest of all commercial mobile phone image sensors. In some scenes, it is necessary to be an "equipment party". For example, in starry photography, the "bottom bigger level is overwhelming", because the larger the size of the sensor, the more and larger pixels can be put down, showing the stars of the universe in the picture.

In addition, IMX700 also uses Huawei and Glory's exclusive RYYB ultrasonic filter array, replacing green pixels in traditional RGGB CFA with yellow pixels, further increasing the amount of light input by 40% more than the RGGB array.

At the same time, the Glory 30 series also combines Dual PD and pixel aggregation technologies on a single sensor for the first time to converge into 2.44 μ m large pixels, the largest single pixel size in the industry.

Dual PD technology to achieve faster and more accurate focus effect; pixel aggregation is the pursuit of a larger single pixel size, to obtain more exquisite picture quality. The combination of the two technologies gives IMX700 the ability to focus on all pixels, both in terms of pixel aggregation and high-resolution output.

For example, Glory 30 Pro+ can focus easily and quickly in dim light of less than 1 lux, and users no longer have to manually jump between different focal segments in order to take a night scene.

The application of IMX700 is comparable to the wide-angle lens with 17mm focal length. It is said that IMX700 is a super outsole that can only be used on Huawei's flagship series. With such a hardware blessing, it will naturally enable users of the Glory 30 series to become "equipment Party" and win at the starting line in the night shooting scene.

two。 Wide angle + 50 times telephoto expansion of creative space.

Night shooting effect OK, is it certain to be able to shoot starry sky blockbusters? The answer is not necessarily. Students who know star photography may have seen a variety of pictures, some are full of star orbits, like Van Gogh's oil paintings, some are magnificent nebulae, beautiful and unreal, and some are bright stars, bright stars. These themes with different pictures and different objects need different focus segments to realize.

For example, shooting a huge Milky way requires a large wide-angle lens to fully capture the scene, while shooting a nebula in deep space can only be achieved with a telephoto as long as an astronomical telescope.

Therefore, on the basis of photosensitive ability, the Glory 30 series is equipped with a 50x periscope hand-held ultra-stable telephoto lens, and the super zoom lens is placed horizontally in the fuselage, which can achieve 5x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom and up to 50x digital zoom. At the same time, dual-structure OIS optical anti-shake is also introduced, which makes the picture more clear and stable than the ordinary anti-shake design.

With the addition of 16 million ultra-wide-angle lens, the viewing area has doubled, thus giving mobile starry photography more creative possibilities.

Whether it is a nearby star or a distant dust cloud, the end of the universe is close at hand.

3. System-level images lower the threshold for participation.

Of course, more rookies like me, whether it is hard-core professional equipment or powerful mobile phone hardware, may not be able to take a perfect starry ID photo. The reason also lies in the many technical thresholds of star photography, such as how to reduce the noise caused by long exposure, how to prevent the hands from shaking so much that even the moon can be photographed as a comet, and in the later stage, when there is basically no photo, it always looks less professional, and as time goes by, it loses its interest in shooting stars.

Therefore, on the basis of hardware-enhanced innovation, the glorious system-level imaging capability provides more technical support. For example, in addition to the dual-structure OIS optical anti-shake, the AI long-focus super anti-shake algorithm is introduced to estimate the position and pose of the mobile phone through the sensor, and then get the inter-frame change of the image. AI is used to do intelligent path planning, OIS and EIS are jointly tuned, so as to reduce the noise caused by subtle jitter and make each image present smoothly in front of the user.

If hardware is standard for the equipment Party, then the algorithm "soft power" behind the Glory 30 series delivers the experience and skills of professional photographers to ordinary people like me. Even if there is only one curiosity about the universe, you can still use your mobile phone to record what you see and feel when you look up at the sky.

The glorious trek of innovation: familiar and fresh smartphones

You may wonder that not everyone likes to shoot stars, and there are no stars to shoot in a big city. What's the use of doing all this fancy stuff?

In fact, shooting the starry sky is like exploring the universe to human science and technology, and the exploration of zenith technology will directly benefit ordinary people's daily life.

For example, the Apollo moon landing program led to the emergence of a large number of new technologies, such as computers, ultra-high-strength materials, high-temperature-resistant materials, and so on. Even the most common diapers were originally designed for astronauts.

Similarly, the night shooting ability of the Glory 30 series is only a "moon landing" of mobile phone images in starry sky photography. For a wider range of users, it also unlocks new possibilities.

First of all, the capabilities of the Glory 30 series have been upgraded to innovate all the components of the entire link of mobile photography, such as super-bottom sensor, exclusive RYYB technology, periscope ultra-long focal length, AI intelligence anti-shaking, and so on, which directly boost the experience of mobile photography.

In a dim light environment, you can shoot not only starry sky, but also life scenes and even high-quality video, supporting up to 12800 ultra-high ISO and 4K 60fps ultra-clear video recording.

Take an evening walk with your lover, have a midnight barbecue with a couple of friends, have a group dance in the late-night square, put on skateboard shoes and the same passion battle, wave a glow stick for Aidou at the concert, or just record the quiet city at two o'clock in the morning after work. These scenes permeated with daily temperature, even if the light is complex, can be transformed into the flow of light and shadow in the mobile phone with the help of the Glory 30 series.

For example, the night view of the city recorded in the Glory 30 series, is there a corner that you are familiar with?

Raising your hand to pick the stars and leaning over to embrace life may be a new imagination brought to smartphones by the innovation of glorious imaging capabilities.

Second, export youth culture in a higher dimension.

In fact, in addition to challenging starry photography, the previous Glory 30 series also challenged Everest, wildlife and other photo scenes. Are these elements a little different from the popular "labels" of young people you might imagine? For a technology trend card that has attracted the attention of young people, Glory has always insisted on having a spiritual resonance with the young culture in the brand, rather than just pursuing flashpoints and gimmicks.

Some manufacturers are shooting perspective clothes, while Glory has chosen to follow and encourage young people to explore the world and satisfy their curiosity. Whether it is the distance between the stars, the height of Mount Qomolangma, or the proximity of animals, as long as you are willing to see and want to see, glory is always accompanied by strength.

This curiosity and freedom about the beauty of the world is not only the scientific and technological value advocated by glory, but also really promotes the brand height and sense of value, and ties a solid bond with the feelings of young people.

Third, the products that glorify the technical ability prove themselves.

Smartphones have entered a bottleneck period of innovation, which is no longer a new topic. How to break out of the tight encirclement, some people choose to continue the previous stage of "borrowlism", looking for new hardware from the supply chain, coupled with "looks fiercer" PPT rhetoric, shoved to users.

From the technical framework of Glory Night shooting ability, it is not difficult to see that Glory is another way of innovation-- taking sharp technology as the soul, self-research technology as the body, to create a more long-term vitality of mobile phone innovation model.

For example, the multi-camera system, which plays a key role in shooting constellations, along with ISP chips and AI algorithms, is an honorable self-developed output in the underlying optical technology for a long time. As early as 2019, Glory V30 series introduced the RYYB color filter jointly developed by SONY, which is an example of Glory beginning to get rid of the single "brought" technology path of smartphone manufacturers and start reverse collaborative innovation with the supply chain. The Glory 30 series, such as exclusive two-axis anti-shaking, the first two-scene picture-in-picture, etc., combine optics, mobile phone software and hardware, and pay an integrated photography system that can look up to the starry sky.

The performance of the Glory 30 series in image technology, in a sense, is also an industrial self-proof of the sharp science and technology route.

The universe is sometimes very close to us, so "the stars can be picked up by the hand"; sometimes it is far away from us, so that Galileo picks up the telescope and Guo Shoujing seeks all his life. Several generations of astronauts are poor and experienced Haoshou, all in order to see the starry sky more clearly.

Ordinary people hold up the Glory 30 series and press the shutter at night, perhaps thinking about it for thousands of years, completing a spiritual resonance across time and space with the wisdom of the sages, the starry sky overhead, and the beauty of science and technology.
