iPhone 5S camera specs: better optics, 'true tone' flash

As expected, the new iPhone 5S ftures a significantly upgraded rr-facing iSight camera. It hasa new five-element -designed lens with an F2.2 aperture and a 15% larger active sensor ar.Thepixels are larger too:—1.5 microns.The camera software has been largely improved too.The Camera app now sets white balance, exposure, and crtes a “dynamic local tone map” with “autofocus matrix metering” for 15 zones—all automatically. More details after the fold…The camera also now ftures something called”True tone flash.”Unsurprisingly, there are two LEDs—one cool and white, the other is warm and amber. And software cancombine the two to get the right color balance.Spking of software, auto stabilization is now available in the camera. And the way it works isthat it will take multiple photos, combine them for light levels, and then pick the sharpest one to display.Slow-motion is also in the cards. As the above slide shows, the new camera will be capable of shooting of up to 120 fps (or frames per second), as well asHD at 720p. And that’s the new iSight camera.
