Even with the advent of the iPhone 4 and to this day, the most popular camera, according to Flickr, a iPhone. New iPhone 6 improved in many ways, both in general and in relation to the camera. Display size and resolution are growing, but with Apple camera did not drive on the "quantity" - a former MP 8, which remain unchanged even from 2011, since the iPhone 4s. However, Apple still held the key modernization new iPhone camera and in this article we will discuss them with you.
Size pixels in both chambers iPhone 6 remained unchanged - 1.5 micron, and has a five-element lens design with a diaphragm ƒ / 2.2 and does not differ from the iPhone 5s chamber. Most of the new enhancements are "under the hood" - they are as software features and high performance: it's shooting video, which can be considered the most a significant improvement, although the emergence of optical stabilization, instant AF and 43-megapixel panorama mode, and can be considered a great gift for photographers.
1. Faster processor, a larger amount of storage and a new display
Obviously, the "more" - it means "better" and there is no difference, we are talking about the displays or the footwell in the chair of the aircraft. Larger screen and the thickness of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus can not only more convenient to keep them in the time of shooting, but also provide you more viewing angle, better brightness and contrast, thanks to a brand new Retina-display, and it will probably be important for photographers.
iPhone 6 Plus runs in the Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080, while his "younger brother" - permission 1334h750.
Both iPhone 6 equipped with the same 64-bit processors A8 which are embedded video processor and encoder. They handle all the photo and video camera functions, as well as provide a longer operating time, thanks to its energy efficiency.
Having at hand a good tool for the creation of high battery life, able to read cool video, high-resolution panoramas - Photos with the iPhone 6 will need a lot of disk space. At this time, as the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus is, there is no version with 32 GB - only 16 and 64, or a premium version with 128 GB on board (which will cost you 5000 p. more expensive).

The new iPhone - a new focus technology. As you know, the auto-focus function to the definition of individuals more sensitive than contrast AF. It uses two images, which are determined by the changing position of control focusing mechanism, the purpose of which is to equalize these images relative to each other.
A contrast detection is much slower because it is used directly focus it from the sensor in order to determine the maximum point of contrast, and for this we have to focus back and forth.
As reported in the iPhone 6 autofocus works twice as fast as on the iPhone 5. Another coveted iPhone is a feature new Focus Pixels, which implements the continuous determination of the focus during video shooting. Something similar manufacturers DSLR-cameras only recently started to use in their products.
3. Optical image stabilization iPhone 6 Plus
In the chamber 6 iPhone Plus was represented optical image stabilization, which reduces vibration and trembling during shooting. With gyro tracked the slightest movement of your hand, and then they are processed by the processor and the A8 M8 coprocessor, after which the objective lens is shifted in the opposite direction to compensate hand movement.
Optical stabilization has a potential which can greatly improve picture quality in the conditions low light and is especially effective while shooting video, reducing the well-known phenomenon of "sea disease. "
Only the iPhone 6 Plus has optical image stabilization, which gives Apple another reason to differentiate the more expensive 5.5-inch version of the iPhone. Photographers using iPhone 6 will have to do an automatic image stabilization - a digital solution that is also present in the iPhone 5s. It lies in the fact that the camera makes four quick frame, determining the most contrasting of some of them to create the final picture.

It is a function of the video in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus has been subjected to the most improved. And now, in addition to the 1080p recording at a frame rate of 30 fps to, we can shoot Full HD video at 60 fps. Increasing the frame rate allows for a more clear and smooth video, though they, of course, will take up more disk space.
If you mount the captured video clips, making them full-fledged movie, then import video from at 60 fps in a project with the normal frame rate (30 fps), allow you to do much slowing down video smoother.
And, of course, you can always shoot slo-mo videos that are in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus on the head better than the iPhone 5s. Instead 720p-rollers with 120 fps, we have Full HD at 240 fps.
5. Time-lapse video, exposure, and more
iOS 8 brought iPhone users 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (and the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5 / 5c) a lot of new features like the Camera application, and in the photo.

You can set the exposure a simple swipe, using the scale near the square AF.
Photos application also has not been deprived of Apple's attention and we got it advanced edit: automatic alignment cluttered horizon and precise manual adjustment of exposure, brightness, contrast and shadows.
Apple also opened the API frameworks editing within PhotoKit, thereby allowing developers to use third-party filters and editing functions available in the Photos app.
