iPhone 5 Camera Parts Show No Attached Flash

[toddybody]

Actually, I don't pose my subjects facing directly into the sun, because they end up squinting.

I also shoot with a flash on top of my camera, but i find that using that directly causes too much of a drop shadow no matter what the orientation, so if indoors I prefer to bounce the light off the ceiling. If using a strobe on a stand (what you would call "flash on a tripod") I still use an on-body flash as a fill light.

In fact, for macro (close-up) shots, the best option is to have the flash closer to the lens, like this:

But then again, none of this is relevant since you won't be using the iPhone for a professional photo shoot. We are talking moving the light source over by less than 1.5 inches, not across the room. No one will notice a thing. It's still pretty direct. From a professional photographer's standpoint, I don't see the point of moving the flash this much, nor do I see the harm.

Before you tell someone to "get a clue" first ask yourself if you know what you are talking about.

That pic just looks awesome

iPhone 2011 may not be named iPhone 4s. A5 vs A4 is nothing compare to iPhone 3g vs 3gs after see iPad2.

Maybe if you've a 3GS or older, but they really need something more than the above if they want to drive sales and give iPhone 4 owners an incentive to upgrade.

And that thing would likely be HSPA+.

iPhone 2011 may not be named iPhone 4s. A5 vs A4 is nothing compare to iPhone 3g vs 3gs after see iPad2.

The A5 appears to be at least as much faster than the A4 than the 3GS processor was relative to its predecessor.

But I expect the naming scheme to proceed simply from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5.

The iPhone 3G name was obviously due to the introduction of 3G radio cell access; But after having an iPhone 4 already, it would be confusing to introduce an iPhone 4G afterwards. I'd say they're done with that naming scheme.

I'm too lazy to check if someone mentioned this before.
The module entitled as 'IP5 rear camera' looks like it doesn't have AF.
Fixed focus is the next revolutionary thing?
Discuss.

Does anyone else notice that the "ip5 rear camera" looks shockingly similar to the current CDMA iphone's front facing camera....

shockingly? as in...you're sitting there, shocked and stupefied? really?

 

[mdelvecchio]

Wow, you guys are missing the painfully obvious reason:

New cases. More revenue. Period.

absolutely no other reason.

....except that apple's case, the bumper, would be totally unchanged by this potential flash placement. doh.

cynic fail.

Therefore exist esp. circle flashes positioned around the lens. The balance of such situations is 50:50. Very tiny lenses like that on the iPhone may require special treatment.

Ring flashes are only for macro, when the distance from the front of your lens to the subject is more easily measured in mm than inches. Then the positioning of the ring flash is about equivalent to a portrait studio with 4 flash umbrellas set up, feet away from the camera itself.

Phones do not do that. Tiny lenses don't require special flash placement treatment (within the surface area of a phone, anyway), just as much light as possible.

I hope the flash isn't where the case speculates it to be. That is where I hold the phone to balance it (index finger up top, middle finger angled down the bottom corner). Placing it there takes away the ability to balance the phone in landscape mode. The camera and flash should be centered on the phone for more logical placement.

let me guess, your friend's brother's uncle works for apple and he gave you the inside information?

you can go to check sina.com. it is called iphone 4s.

Camera Speed

I know I am on an iPhone 3GS (those 24 month contracts!!!) but I can't wait for the next version if only to have a better camera and the opportunity to potentially take snaps of events whilst they are still happening instead of staring at the shutter picture which just won't open until the funny scene has long gone and we have to get the kids to 'do it again'!

Is the camera likely to be faster on the new one? I've not tried an iPhone 4, but I assume it's better in that model already?

Flash or no flash - I want speed!!!
