Xiaomi spent a lot of time hyping the wrong feature on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. The f/1.63–4.0 variable aperture is the true game-changer for photography and videography buffs. Combined with the 1-inch sensor, who even needs a compact camera, anymore? https://www.notebookcheck.net/Forget-the-1-inch-sensor-the-Xiaomi-14-Ultra-s-variable-aperture-is-the-true-headline-feature.807929.0.html
Quotewhy video from the likes of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is so far ahead of even the closest Android competition.
Where did you get this from? It's not even close and is in fact so far behind many competitors.
Try switching between lens mid video and see the massive stuttering as it attempts compensate for light changes with inappropriate shutter speeds. Not to mention it heats up and then drops video resolution without telling you meaning you don't even know if the video is even useable.
yay solution in search of a problem.
dirt cheap variable nd filters or nd filter kits haven't had any trouble fixing the excess light. and they will work on all your 23578768244 future phones too, when xiaomi realizes having aperture isn't helping sales and drops this feature, like samsung did.
Quote from: Redaktion on February 27, 2024, 23:04:05moving from f/1.6 to f/4 will reduce the exposure of the image by 3 EV. For every EV up or down, you're doubling or halving the brightness of your scene. This means that, all else being equal, the same scene at f/1.6 will be six times as bright as at f/4.
Wouldn't it be 8 (2^3) times as bright, then?

Thanks for the correction. Totally bungled that, my bad. I've edited the article.
