Optical Correction Cameras

This Medium Format Camera Corrects Images Based On the Lens Used

— February 4, 2016 — Tech
The A-series IQ3 100MP is a medium format camera, offered by Phase One, that is specially calibrated in precise manner and powered ably by a no-nonsense 100-megapixel full-frame medium format CMOS sensor.

This camera comes fitted with a 35-mm Rodenstock Alpar lens. There are also optional lenses available including the super-wide 23-mm lens and a 70-mm ALPA HR Alpagon lens. But perhaps the best feature of this particular medium format camera is the fact that it comes with configured in-camera lens calibrations that allow photographers to select the lens they intend to use. This enables the camera to apply optical corrections instantly rather than require users to carry them out after the fact.

This medium format camera is priced at $56,000, and its features make it ideal for photographers of fine art.

Trend Themes
1. Optical Correction Technology - Developing camera technology that instantly applies optical corrections based on the lens used has the potential to simplify post-processing for photographers.
2. Medium Format Cameras - The growing demand for high-resolution fine art photography may create opportunities for medium format camera manufacturers and photographers who need high-quality images.
3. In-camera Lens Calibrations - Automating the process of lens calibration within cameras has the potential to save photographers time and improve the accuracy of their images.
Industry Implications
1. Photography Equipment Manufacturing - Incorporating in-camera lens calibration technology into high-end cameras could give manufacturers a competitive edge in the photography equipment market.
2. Fine Art Photography - Adopting medium format camera technology with optical correction capabilities could lead to new opportunities for photographers in the fine art photography industry, allowing them to produce more high-quality images.
3. Post-processing Service Providers - The rise of advanced camera technology that applies optical corrections within the camera may lead to a decrease in demand for post-processing services, but also creates opportunities for new niche services.
