Bringing Studio-Quality Lighting with a Smarter Aura Light
V40 redefines portrait lighting with the upgraded AI Aura Light Portrait featuring Studio-Quality professional fill light, enhancing depth and dimensionality. The new AI 3D Studio Lighting helps enhance image quality by adding precise and natural fill light for challenging lighting conditions. AI 3D Studio Lighting utilizes advanced AI algorithms for 3D facial light recognition analysis, offering an additional layer of 3D fill light to enhance the portraits taken in low light or at night. The Aura Light capabilities have been extended to include indoor backlit scenarios and support all focal lengths.
