Ok so what exactly happened in this photo is that she has HDRI capture on. Which means its take a exposure bracket. We can know this because we can see out the window and its not blown out, plus there is no black in the whole scene. So while the camera was doing its bracket she was moving her arms. The camera for HDRI also has a deghosting algorithm so you don't see the movement. We know its the deghosting because in the 2 angles we can see her hands they are six ways to distroyed. In the left view if you zoom in on her you can see she has not only short fingers, she has 6 fingers. That because the HDRI still needs those exposures to build the stacked bracket. So now since its apple and the camera is taking non stop photos that it dumps all but what it needs when you press the shutter. It has built an image with de-ghosting of the best exposed parts of the frames captured and blended them for the HDRI. If if was because of the scan line nature of the chip you would get what is referred as the Jello effects or warped arms in this case, Which is not what you have. God knows how many exposures this is actually made up o

The Cirkut camera certainly had its share of distortion issues, And it would not apply to motion picture cameras. But you're right. It's hairsplitting. The iphone actually shoots multiple frames and stitches them. It makes the equivalent of a very short movie actually.On Tue, Dec 26, 2023 at 6:05 PM Randy Little <randyslittle@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Thats the same as saying every slit scan camera isnt a camera. Its some real hair splitting. It would alao imply that almost no film movie camera is a camera since they depend on a rolling shutter. Or the Cirkut camera of the early 1900sAlso its not fancy stitching algorithm its a simple x,y value with a R,g or B value attached per photo site. The demosaic is pretty fancy.Randy S. Little

The phone shoots many images as the scan passes and has stitching algorithms to correct this effect but it doesn't always give a good result... as The Western Journal article, I believe, demonstrates.On Tue, Dec 26, 2023 at 5:21 PM Herschel Mair <herschphoto@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Kind words but really it's just a guess.On Tue, Dec 26, 2023 at 12:55 PM Lew Schwartz <lew1716@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Don't believe Herschel for a second.
