Oppo is a longtime supporter of the ICC, the international governing body for cricket. So it stands to reason that Oppo offers a phone that seems almost tailor-made for sports photography, the Oppo Reno 10x Zoom. You can zoom in on the action with an incredible 160mm equivalent focal length, zoom out to capture the atmosphere of the crowd, and shoot at incredible speed to capture the form of a fast bowler at the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup. DSLR with a backpack for a heavy camera full of lenses? Here are the 10 ways the Oppo Reno 10x zoom excels at capturing fast-paced sports action.
1. Three lenses in one to save space.
The Oppo Reno 10x Zoom has the equivalent of three main lenses. To carry that much glass with a DSLR, you need a dedicated camera bag. And strong shoulders, because you probably need about 5 kg of shooting equipment. The 10x zoom Oppo Reno weighs just 210g. We strongly believe in the old photographer adage that the best camera is the one you have with you and can take it with you everywhere, no problem.2. Bigger sensor, better results.
The number of megapixels is the most obvious way to categorize a camera sensor. But sports photographers want a large sensor compared to a high resolution sensor. They can't control lighting conditions, and because a larger sensor absorbs more light, it allows you to use faster exposures. You need them for any kind of quick action. The Oppo Reno 10X Zoom takes a "best of both worlds" approach. Its main sensor is an ultra-high-resolution 48-megapixel, but it's also big at 1/2-inch. Pixel separation combines four sensor pixels to quadruple the effective sensitivity, resulting in better images during the day and at night.3. A 160mm zoom view.
The phone's 10x zoom is a revelation. It uses a clever periscope lens design for the equivalent of a 160mm lens in a 9,3mm housing. This allows you to get closer to the action without ever leaving your chair. While other phones may let you take pictures with 10x zoom, Oppo Reno's 10x zoom lens and sensor mean every picture is richer in detail. You can frame a player at 100 meters with much less of the "smearing effect" of digital zoom.

4. Lightning fast burst
Burst Shooting is the unsung hero of sports photography on a smartphone. Even with high-speed reflexes, you'll likely miss the moment the ball hits your leg or fan when taking single shots. Hold Oppo Reno's 10x optical zoom and 20 exposures in just over a second. Then you can choose the one with the best scene performance or the most dramatic player posing.5. Brilliant HDR
Overexposure is the photographer's enemy. It is at this point that some parts of the sensor receive too much light and that these parts of the image become white blocks. Many professionals take photos deliberately dark to avoid this, then touch up to the correct level after the fact. Outdoor shooting sports can be an overexposure nightmare as clouds have more of an effect than others. With an Oppo Reno 10X Zoom, you won't have to worry about it. The phone has clever dynamic range enhancement techniques that retain all the cloud contour information without having to fiddle with the image after shooting.6. Advanced OIS helps you capture the moment.
Sports shots can often give blurry photos if you are not an expert in camera manipulation. Sometimes it's simply too fast movement of your subject. But it can also be caused by your hands. Move around during the show window, and presto, your image is blurry. Optical image stabilization solves this problem. The Oppo Reno 10x Zoom uses a motor and a ball-bearing rocking mechanism to dampen any movement of the camera sensor. This can compensate up to a certain degree of inclination. This may not sound like much, but remember that we're only talking about an offset of about 1/30th of a second. The result? Sharp images every time.7. A big screen on stage.

Phones without a headset, a powerful display is essential if you want to dial with confidence. Oppo Reno's 10x zoom display is large at 6,6 inches, bright, and professional-grade calibrated, so you can be sure your on-screen snapshots are more like how they look in-camera. final image
