Let's visit the DMV and see how each iPhone’s camera passed the test.
The iPhone 12 camera captures the image using 0.5x,1.0x, and 2.0x zoom modes. This experiment is similar to capturing the image with three different cameras.
From the compilation above, zooming into the vision chart, we observe better sharpness in the 2x camera compared to the 1x. Both 1x and 2x pass the test, as we can read all letters without confusion. The 0.5x wide-angle camera clearly fails the test, as we can’t read any of the letters.
After I opened all 3 images in Photoshop as layers and aligned and resized and aligned the images in all layers using the pin, I used 50% opacity when applying the free transform tool. ( applied it only once)
After alignment and resizing, we can see how our fields of view look on top of each other.
The next 3 images are cropped along the borderline of the 2.0x image.
Each layer of the layers is saved into a file for viewing with Fast Stone image viewer at different scales.
