create\u00a0smartphones\u00a0with an advanced photo and video function.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

IV<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sony succeeded in this, and how,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sony.co.uk\/electronics\/smartphones\/xperia-1m4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">by introducing the\u00a0<\/a><strong>Sony Xperia 1 IV<\/strong>\u00a0smartphone\u00a0with optical zoom and three cameras, each of which creates 12 megapixel images using a Sony Exmor RS sensor, and all these three cameras allow you to shoot 4K \/ 120p HDR video.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>16mm wide angle camera with F2.2 aperture.<\/li>\n<li>24mm F1.7 main camera with Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization.<\/li>\n<li>Telephoto is the world&#8217;s first 85-125mm optical zoom lens with F2.3-2.8 variable aperture and 1\/3.5-inch sensor with optical image stabilization.\u00a0This lens uses a periscope design to provide true optical zoom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The smartphone allows you to change the focal length from wide 16 to telephoto 125mm, the company claims that the Xperia 1 IV allows you to zoom directly during recording without stopping video shooting.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/49_techweek.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"920\" height=\"423\" \/><br \/>\n<em class=\"photo-title\">Video capture interface<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Xperia 1 IV features eye autofocus for both stills and video, and each camera features Zeiss optics with Zeiss T* coating.\u00a0The smartphone allows you to shoot photos in full resolution at up to 20 fps with autofocus and autoexposure on all three main cameras.\u00a0Not only that, the smartphone also has a fourth front camera, which uses the new 12 MP Exmor RS sensor, and note that the front camera can shoot 4K HDR video.<\/p>\n<p>The press release does not say whether it is possible to switch during video recording from the front camera to the rear and back without having to stop recording.\u00a0This moment is crucial for shooting a creative blog, and it is rather strange that the company does not emphasize this.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of hardware, it should be mentioned that the Xperia 1 IV is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, as well as a microSD slot, it works in 5G sub6\/mmWave and Wi-Fi 6E wireless networks, there are fast charging, IP65\/68 certified and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.<\/p>\n<p>There is a complete feeling that a few paragraphs above we were talking about a new mirrorless camera for bloggers, and not about a phone.\u00a0However, there is no Sony E mount here, the rest of the features are impressive on paper.\u00a0It is safe to say that many users will gladly choose this smartphone over the traditional mirrorless.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to add that the smartphone allows you to stream to YouTube or other services without the use of additional equipment.\u00a0Bloggers will be able to use the Xperia 1 IV with a compatible Sony Alpha camera as a 4K monitor and live streaming device.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
