Scenario 2.0 modewhich allows recording from two perspectives simultaneously in 4K, and support for Dolby Vision with recording in 10-bit Log 4K at 120 fps.
Vivo X300: 200MP ZEISS main sensor in a compact form factor
El Vivo X300 It doesn't lag behind, and although it's a step below the Pro in specialization, it remains a very serious high-end photography camera. In this case, the star is its 200-megapixel ZEISS main cameraWith CIPA 4.5 stabilization and a large sensor (Samsung HP8 in many variants), this camera is designed to deliver extremely high-resolution photos with excellent cropping capabilities and detail.
Along with the main sensor, the X300 includes a 50 megapixel ultra wide angle or with a 50 megapixel periscope telephoto Featuring a Sony LYT-602 sensor, which improves dynamic range and reduces power consumption.
