Jakarta (ANTARA) - Apple is reportedly preparing a number of new\ncamera features for iOS 27, which may arrive on the next generation of\niPhone or through future software updates.<\/p>\n
According to a Macrumors report on Monday (7 September) local time,\nbased on an examination of the iOS 27 beta code, one of the features\nbeing prepared is exposure scopes in the form of waveforms and\nhistograms that can help users assess lighting levels when taking\nphotos.<\/p>\n
A histogram shows which parts of an image are too dark, too bright,\nor in between, while a waveform provides similar information adjusted\naccording to the position of those areas within the frame.<\/p>\n
Apple is also testing a focus peaking feature that can display\ncoloured lines on the parts of a subject that are in focus. This allows\nusers to more easily see which parts of the image are sharp when taking\na photo.<\/p>\n
Another addition is the ability to take several photos in succession\nusing the self-timer. Whereas the countdown setting is currently\ngenerally used to take a single photo, the new feature would allow users\nto take multiple photos at once.<\/p>\n
After one photo is taken, the countdown for the next photo begins\nimmediately without waiting for the previous photo to finish saving, so\nimages can be captured in rapid succession.<\/p>\n
Apple is also said to be testing manual focus control, allowing users\nto set and lock focus without relying on autofocus.<\/p>\n
A similar capability is already available in Apple\u2019s Final Cut Camera\napp. The manual focus feature previously appeared in iOS 26 via a focus\nslider, but was later removed in iOS 27 beta 1.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, code related to focus locking is still present, and\nApple is reportedly restricting the feature to devices shipped with iOS\n27 or later.<\/p>\n
The system can use up to four reference points to produce smoother\nimage correction transitions when the lens aperture changes.<\/p>\n
This aperture-based image correction feature has drawn attention\nbecause the iPhone 18 Pro, expected to launch soon, is said to use a\nmain camera with a variable aperture. That technology allows the lens\naperture to be widened or narrowed, unlike lenses with a fixed\naperture.<\/p>\n
Although the features found in the iOS 27 code could potentially be\navailable on other iPhone models, the support for variable aperture\nindicates that at least some of the features relate to the iPhone 18\nPro.<\/p>\n
However, none of the five features can yet be used by users in the\ncurrent iOS 27 beta. Apple may also delay or omit some or all of these\nfeatures in the final version due for release in September.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/apple-prepares-five-new-camera-features-for-ios-27-1788846915", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
