The CAMON 30 Pro 5G is equipped with a Sony IMX890 50MP OIS Main Camera with an ultra-sensitive 1/1.56” sensor for super-sensitive nighttime portraits. As well as the large sensor, a 1.0μm pixel size, an F/1.88 aperture, OIS optical anti-shake, and industry-leading pixel fusion technology, users won’t miss a detail in the day and can capture all the drama in the dark. The model also features a 114° 50MP Anti-Distortion Wide-Angle & Macro Lens for shooting everything from giant glaciers to tiny snowflakes. This lens has a Macro Mode that keeps subjects in focus from as close as 2.5cm, while edge distortion is minimized to as low as 1.6% and images remain clear even when 10x magnified. CAMON 30 5G and CAMON 30 also empower users to capture the magic of the night thanks to a 50MP OIS Steady Night Portrait main camera with optical image stabilization for ultra-steady shots.
Helping users to shoot flawless group shots and superbly detailed selfies, the CAMON 30 Pro 5G, CAMON 30 5G and CAMON 30 all feature an exceptional 50MP Eye-tracking Autofocus Front Camera.
