According to the website of Oppo, the 16 MP swivel camera of N3 can capture “every move, every nuance” and can be rotated up to 206 degrees. Oppo claims that it is the first manufacturer to integrate a stepper motor camera built by Schneider Electric in a smartphone.
The 16-megapixel camera has a 1/2.3-inch sensor with 1.34 pixel size for each micrometre. It can also shoot panoramas pictures in up to 64-megapixels, using manual or remote capture. The camera also has a new feature called Ultra image 2.0 suite that can capture images in RAW format without any quality distortion and also slow shutter, ultra macro mode after focus.
