AI camera Alice decides when to shoot and connects to smartphone via Wi-Fi

The main idea pursued by the creators of Alice was to combine the best of what is in

The smartphone connects wirelessly to the main camera, and cropping, adjusting settings and other actions are performed using the app, resulting in a photo or video captured by the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) image sensor and Alice lens.

The smartphone can be installed directly onthe back of the CNC machined Alice aluminum case. It also houses the shutter release button and rotary encoder adjustment wheel. Content creators can customize the main unit and control everything remotely on the smartphone screen. The smartphone can even be flipped in the universal phone holder so that part of its display looks out from the side - so you can take selfies.

The wireless connection between the Alice device and the smartphone is via dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.0 supportsThe main unit also has a mount for connecting external equipment such as microphones, which can be plugged into a 3.5mm jack or connected via Bluetooth, as well as a tripod and strap mount jack.

At the heart of the Alice camera is a 10.7-megapixel Sony 4/3 back-illuminated image sensor, which is eight times larger than smartphones, which meansBetter low-light performance, higher dynamic range, and low noise.In addition to still images, Alice can record video at up to 4K/30p resolution with H.264, H.265, Cinema4K, and MJPEG encoding.

Users can count on automaticscene capture and improved image processing thanks to the computational photography of the built-in AI chip, as well as things like end-to-end deep learning for autofocus, auto exposure and color balancing, along with auto retouching, HDR imaging, electronic low-light video stabilization and rolling correction shutter.
