oneplus launching new XPan Mode camera feature in its latest flagship smartphones– oneplus 9 and 9 Prof. Co-developed with Hasselblad, XPan Mode allows users to experience the Hasselblad XPan camera in a smartphone.
With its two focal lengths 30mm and 45mm, users will have the opportunity to shoot panoramic images with a direct preview from the viewfinder on the OnePlus Camera app, bringing the perspective of the classic Xpan camera to a more accessible medium.
Photos taken with Xpan mode have an aspect ratio of 65:24, which is the same as the original Hasselblad Xpan camera. Images on XPan mode are cropped with the 48MP main camera and 50MP ultra-wide camera instead of the default 12MP mode. The result is a high-resolution image of over 20MP. Xpan images feature 7552×2798 resolution at 30mm and 7872×2916 resolution at 45mm.
“Working with Hasselblad on Expan Mode has helped us recreate the great experience of viewing your photos in 65:24 format before shooting a detailed, panoramic image in 30mm and 45mm. OnePlus 9 And using Expan Mode on the 9 Pro will allow our users to see the world around them through a unique lens, and we’re very excited to see how this format is used by our users and photographers around the world Hsiahua Cheng, head of imaging at OnePlus, said.
OnePlus worked with Hasselblad on two film simulation profiles for the Expan Mode, a color mode and a black and white mode. Black and white mode assists with a different approach to storytelling. The color mode is optimized with Hasselblad as well, giving it a rich and realistic color profile. Users can switch between color and black/white as per their choice.
