LG Innotek has just made a notable announcement with the official reveal of its new ‘Optical Telephoto Zoom Camera Module’ that will be made available for future smartphones soon. So here are all the details.

The South Korean brand’s new optical telephoto camera will arrive with integrated telescopic camera function that is capable of capturing the high magnification of up to 4x to 9x zoom. The company claims that the new image sensor that it will be able to capture these shots without the loss of any image quality. As per official notes, the conventional ‘fixed zoom module’ that exist in the industry offers optical magnification only in the specific zoom sections.

Any other magnification applied on the shot is enabled through the digital zoom. However, LG Innotek stated that it has developed a zoom actuator, which is a component for moving the lens to enable shifting of the focal distance. This enables the telephoto shooter to capture clear images between all sections between the 4x and 9x magnification sections as well and is not limited to just the two levels. Notably, this camera tech is also backed up by OIS support (Optical Image Stabilization).

Thanks to OIS, the devices that feature this sensor will be able to reduce blurring in shots and get steadier recordings as well. Furthermore, since the module is smaller as well, the brands that employ it would also be able to save up space inside their smartphone’s body. Meaning, a smaller camera bump or none at all is technically possible.
