-[* black] While we're on the topic of imaging, here's one last component that makes up the OnePlus 2's fancy photographer: The infrared laser rangefinder.
+[* black] One last component makes up the OnePlus 2's fancy photographer: The infrared laser rangefinder.
[* black] This component is made up of two parts: an IR LED and matched receiver.
- [* black] Our guess about how it works: The IR LED is used to project a cone of IR light on the subject, and the receiver to measure the apparent width of the projected shape. This lets you estimate the distance to the subject, and snap the focus to the right distance.
+ [* black] The IR LED probably projects a cone of IR light on the subject, which bounces to the receiver. This lets the camera estimate the distance to the subject, and snap the focus to match.
[* icon_note] We also shot it full of X-rays, because we can.
