In terms of rear cameras, the 1.0-type Exmor RS image sensor found in Sony’s RX100 VII camera is the highlight of the current Sony Xperia PRO-I. Sony, on the other hand, claims that it has been tuned to fit in a smartphone and provide the finest shooting experience for hobbyists and on-the-go photographers. In addition, the smartphone features a dedicated shutter button for taking images.
According to Sony, the smartphone sports a triple camera configuration at the rear, with the primary 1.0-type Exmor RS CMOS sensor with a 2.4m pixel pitch offering great sensitivity and superb texture reproduction, especially in low-light situations. The 12MP lens sports an f/2.0 aperture and Zeiss Tessar Optics to provide photos with less distortion and more contrast.
Aside from that, there’s a 12MP ultra-wide lens with a 124-degree field of view and a 12MP telephoto lens. A 3D iToF (Time of Flight) sensor is also included to measure the distance between the camera and the subject, allowing for faster and more accurate auto-focus capabilities.
