Features

The ProVisual Engine encompasses several features. ^{[5] [6]}

Quad Tele System

The Quad Tele System features 2x, 3x, 5x, and 10x optical zoom, supported by digital processing to enhance zoom clarity and detail. It incorporates Image Signal Processing (ISP) to refine detail retention, reduce noise, and enhance image clarity at different zoom levels while minimizing distortion. ^{[7] [8]}

Nightography

Nightography utilizes noise reduction techniques and advanced sensor technology to enhance low-light photography. By adjusting exposure and minimizing motion blur, the system helps produce more precise and more detailed images in dark environments for both photos and videos. ^{[9] [10]}

Generative Edit

Generative Edit allows for object removal, background expansion, and intelligent resizing. It reconstructs missing areas by filling backgrounds and completing cut-off objects, adjusting composition while preserving image integrity and refinement. ^{[11] [12] [13]}

Expert RAW

Expert RAW allows users to capture RAW images directly from the camera app for advanced shooting and editing. It includes HDR (High Dynamic Range) support to enhance detail and dynamic range. The ProVisual Engine utilizes multi-frame processing to generate RAW images with increased clarity and depth for post-processing. ^[14]

Enhance-X and Camera Shift

Enhance-X is an AI-based image processing tool that applies upscaling, noise reduction, and sharpening. Its Camera Shift feature adjusts the perceived camera height by modifying framing and proportions. a recent update extended support to human and pet images. ^{[15] [16]}
