Improved Camera[edit]
The new camera has a new sensor that allows 81% more light, which helps and is essential for face detection. A supplement element to the new sensor is the new burst effect, capable of taking up to 10 photos per second. Another feature is the focus pixels "designed to speed up autofocusing by providing the sensor with more information about an image, while improved auto image stabilization will compensate for slight amounts of motion blur and hand shakiness".[25] Additionally, the new ability to control exposure will enable users to improve picture quality.
While still 8 megapixels in size, the iPhone 6's rear-facing camera includes a new sensor which, like the camera in the iPhone 5S, has 1.5 micron pixels, an f/2.2 aperture lens, and the ability to shoot 1080p video at either 30 or 60 frames per second. The camera also includes phase detection autofocus.[26] It can also record slow-motion video at either 120 or 240 frames per second. The iPhone 6 Plus camera is nearly identical, but also includes optical image stabilization[11][12] The front-facing camera was also updated with a new sensor and f/2.2 aperture, along with support for burst and HDR modes.[11][12]
