Is it a mobile phone or a micro single? Good news for photographers
When everyone is full screen， Sony Xperia 1 III still uses a non-shaped screen design；When high-end flagships are abandoning the 3.5mm headphone jack，Sony Xperia 1 III has reservations；When 2K+120Hz is becoming the mainstream of the industry，4K+120Hz Sony Xperia 1 The III sets a new mobile phone history record…If you thought this kind of "stubbornness" of the mavericks was the Sony Xperia 1 III is all，That can only be said to be simple。
When all the mobile phones in the world are taking pictures "for fools"、When moving forward in the direction of the video，Sony Xperia series is eye-opening with the "micro-single" operation of mobile phone cameras。We've reviewed numerous phones，But the Sony Xperia 1 The III's camera has always been the funniest，on the Sony Xperia 1 III Top，Engineers from the Cell Phone and Camera Division jointly developed this advanced imaging system，so that the Xperia 1 III has image performance comparable to professional mirrorless cameras。
Not only makes shooting more professional and efficient，The familiar micro-single world design is also more in line with the operating habits of professional photographers。certainly，Although this design is deeply Sony fans、Favored by professionals，But it also makes those users who like to go straight out with one click shout "I don't understand"、"Can't Play"，Invisibly differentiated user groups，I have to say this is a trade-off.。
In terms of specifications，Sony Xperia 1 III is equipped with a three-camera four-focus imaging system，The main camera is 12 million，Aperture F1.7，Equivalent to 24mm；Ultra wide angle 12 million，Aperture F2.2，Equivalent to 16mm。The telephoto aspect is a bright spot，1200Wan's periscope telephoto can be equivalent to 70mm、Aperture F2.3 and equivalent 105mm、Aperture F2.8 to switch between two focal lengths。
Sony Xperia 1 The III's periscope variable telephoto lens supports dual-core focusing，When we need to shoot distant moving objects，Fast focusing is also possible，Great for photographing people and things。Simultaneously，The triple-camera quad-focus imaging system also supports real-time tracking、Support high-speed continuous shooting、Advanced technologies such as AI super-resolution zoom technology，In addition, there is also Zeiss T* coating blessing，The latter can effectively suppress the generation of ghost flare。
Of course，Benefit from excellent focusing speed and focusing accuracy and the blessing of AI technology，Sony Xperia 1 III also supports real-time eye focus，Can be used to photograph people or animals。when using it，Press the shutter button halfway，A green focus frame will appear on the eye area，Focus response is very fast，The subject can even do some large movements and even cover one of the eyes，can also be accurately captured。This function is quite useful，Especially for photographing active children or pets，It can be said that there is no advantage，very practical。
It is worth mentioning that，Sony Xperia 1 III not only supports real-time eye tracking at all focal lengths，It also covers the real-time tracking focus function to the telephoto end，Can focus on both eyes，also for objects。when using it，Just tap the screen，Select the subject，Fast focus tracking，It is not difficult to find from the intercepted animation，At 2.9x telephoto，The real-time tracking function is still very stable，Although the dog is always on the move，But the "small green frame" is always tightly locked to the dog。no doubt，The addition of this feature，Endows the telephoto lens with stronger shooting capabilities，Facing distant moving objects can also be easily captured，Greatly improved the filming rate。
compared to the previous generation，This time Sony Xperia 1 III completes integration of camera functions，Only keep the camera entry "Master of Photography"。First look at the camera interface，Friends who often fiddle with SLRs or mirrorless cameras are probably quite familiar with，Users can use mirrorless cameras or SLR cameras like，Choose between automatic setting or manual ISO control、shutter、White balance and output RAW format files and other functions，More professional than the Pro mode of some phones。
In the "Gear" area in the upper left corner，"BASIC (Basic Mode)" is provided、"AUTO"、"P (Program Auto)"、“S (Shutter Priority)”、"M (Manual Exposure)" and more，Four focal lengths support manual switching，Its shutter length covers 1/8000-30 seconds，Sensitivity up to ISO 3200。The basic mode is similar to the mobile phone camera we use every day，The other four gears are also very close to mirrorless or SLR cameras。in short，The "Photo Master" function is actually "moving" the shooting process on the micro-slip directly to the mobile phone，It's no wonder that many users call it a "micro-single phone"。
From the real shooting experience，Sony Xperia 1 III's 24mm wide-angle lens and 16mm ultra-wide-angle lens have very good imaging performance，It can be clearly seen，Sony is more faithful to restore the true color of the scene，The sample color difference is very small，White balance is well controlled，And in terms of dynamic range, it is closer to the style of your own camera.，The transition between dark and bright parts is also very natural and accurate。
In terms of telephoto proofs，70Both mm and 105mm can be described as "lossless" image quality，If you want to take pictures from a distance，These two focal lengths are undoubtedly the most suitable。From the proofs，with Sony Xperia 1 III is still very comfortable to shoot distant scenes，Easy to compose，And the picture quality is also good，Text on distant buildings is also clearly visible。Very good in detail reproduction，Building and foliage details are well preserved，The overall look of the screen is also very good。
It is worth mentioning that，Sony Xperia 1 3D iToF sensor on the III，Can effectively improve the depth of field control ability，Improve the layering and three-dimensional sense of the picture。We shot a tree branch with 105mm focal length，The main body of the proof is clear，bokeh nature，There is a clear hierarchy between the two without being obtrusive，Visible as a professional video manufacturer，Sony is very good at optimizing and adjusting photos。
in night view，How to balance brightness and detail is a big problem。From the actual shooting effect，Sony pursues a true restoration of what the naked eye sees，Very good suppression of light source highlights，The details of the dark parts are also preserved to the greatest extent。
Except in still photography，Sony Xperia 1 III offers the "Master of Photography" feature，And in camera，Sony Xperia 1 III also brings the "Cinema Master" feature，Powered by CineAlta，fit 21:9Aspect ratio，Added 4K HDR 120fps video recording，Provide powerful and professional video shooting capabilities。
Cinematographer shoots at 4K resolution by default，Of course, you can also manually adjust to 2K resolution。The menu of the Movie Master APP is also very professional，During video recording, the recording duration will be displayed on the viewfinder interface、audio recording、focal length、ISO、Information such as shutter speed，Common parameters are concentrated on the right，Easy to adjust at your fingertips。
in general，Sony Xperia 1 III is a true "micro-single phone"，Both operation and imaging performance should be more professional，At the same time, it has extremely high playability，Great for photographers。For friends who have not had much contact with Sony mobile phones，If you just want to simply record some daily，The basic mode can also fully meet your shooting needs.。certainly，I personally still recommend everyone to try the shooting method provided by "Photo Master"，Maybe it will bring us a lot of different new experiences。
