Apple iPhone 6 – Camera Samples

8MP 5-lens camera on the Apple iPhone 6 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus

Apple has released the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. Both feature improved 8 megapixel cameras with a fairly large 1.5µ pixel size, a ƒ/2.2 aperture, 5 lens design, improved phase-detection and the Focus Pixel technology which offers better and faster autofocus.

Additionally both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus cameras offer improved panorama photos, allowing you to even larger quality panoramas of up to 43 megapixels.
Both iPhones employ image stabilization in order to avoid the blur and noise which results from moving subjects or hand shakiness. The iPhone 6 uses digital image stabilization by quickly capturing 4 photos with a  short exposure time and then combining the best parts of those photos to create the best image.

The iPhone 6 Plus takes this one step further by introducing optical image stabilization (OIS) which uses the A8 chip, gyroscope, and M8 motion coprocessor to measure motion data and provide precise lens movement to compensate for hand shake in lower light. 

The iPhone 6 camera is capable of capturing 1080p video at either 30fps or 60fps. It can also capture slow motion 720p video at 240 fps. The image stablization technology on both iPhones will also ensure that you get blur free videos, with the OIS on the iPhone 6 Plus giving it a slight advantage.

Check out the following video samples captured on the 8MP camera of the iPhone 6.
