The South Korean electronics company, LG, intends to launch a new micro-camera for use in smartphones, during the San Francisco International Electronics and Home Appliances Show.
G Company said. Innotech, a subsidiary of LG, which specializes in the manufacture of electronic components, said that the new micro camera combines the capabilities of optical zoom (zoom) found in DSLR cameras with a thinner design.

And the “CNET.com” website, which specializes in technology issues, stated that cameras equipped with the “optical zoom” feature in smart phones are not new, but the new camera that LG is developing offers something different that allows zooming in to enlarge the subject of the image by between 4x and 9x without The need to return to any digital zoom to determine the required zoom value between the two values, as is the case in fixed zoom cameras in smartphones today.
Digital zoom techniques use software, not lenses, to enlarge images, which can result in a significant decrease in image quality. At the same time, collecting several options for optical zoom in one camera, as is the case in the upcoming LG camera, will help reduce camera space inside smartphones and increase battery efficiency, according to the South Korean company.
At the same time, LG has reduced the thickness of the new camera module in order to get rid of the extrusion that is presently present in smartphones in place of cameras.
