The Pixel Shift technology requires only 4 shots for basic pixel shift, but Vivo will take 8 shots. This suggests that sub-pixel rendering may be employed, which increases the resolution of the final image. This could be a boon for digital zoom. This technology is expected to provide an improved digital zoom experience.

Pixel Shift Technology in Vivo X60 Series

Pixel Shift Technology, typically associated with DSLR cameras, enhances colour accuracy. This technology improves colour accuracy in select DSLR cameras. This technology involves the movement of the camera sensor during image capture, allowing for greater light absorption.

As a result, photographs exhibit more accurate colours. In contrast, most mobile cameras use the standard Bayer Pattern arrangement in their sensors, which approximates colours for mixed pixels. Also Read: Vivo X70 series likely to arrive soon, hints at new specs
