Double-Enhanced Shake Correction... Samsung Electro-Mechanics Unveils 200-Megapixel Camera Module

Correction Angle 1.5 Degrees → 3.0 Degrees
Application of Core Technologies Including OIS Actuator

Samsung Electro-Mechanics unveils a 200-megapixel camera module with image stabilization performance improved by more than twice.

On the 20th, Samsung Electro-Mechanics announced the release of a camera module with a 3.0-degree image stabilization angle, twice as effective as the previous product's 1.5-degree stabilization angle.

The stabilization angle refers to the range, expressed in degrees, within which a clear photo can be taken by compensating for the amount of shake occurring during photography; the larger the stabilization angle, the greater the shake that can be corrected.

Cameras equipped with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) allow users to capture stable photos and videos even while moving, and can take clear pictures of distant subjects in dark environments where exposure time is longer.

To double the OIS stabilization angle, the driving distance that moves the lens must also increase by nearly twice, and the number of components required for driving increases, resulting in a larger module size.

Samsung Electro-Mechanics minimized the camera module size to a level similar to previous products while increasing the driving distance through optimal design of the magnetic materials and coils that affect OIS actuator performance, solving the 'Katuktu (camera bump)' issue and satisfying performance requirements.

Additionally, Samsung Electro-Mechanics applied a ball-guide type OIS actuator with a high-sensitivity sensor to precisely drive the large-diameter lens at the micrometer scale (one-millionth of a meter), ensuring durability and accuracy. Power consumption was also reduced to minimize battery drain.

Lee Tae-gon, Vice President and Head of the Optical Communication Solutions Division at Samsung Electro-Mechanics, stated, "We expect continuous demand for enhanced camera module specifications, such as high-resolution sensors and advanced video functions, especially in flagship smartphones. Samsung Electro-Mechanics is the only company in Korea with independent technological capabilities to directly design and manufacture core components such as lenses and actuators, including launching the country's first optical 10x zoom folded camera. We will continue to provide differentiated products that meet customer needs."
