Automatic Cameraphone Zoom Shows Up In Sony Ericsson Patent App

In a newpatent applications programme , Sony Ericsson has detailed technology that judges your intention to zoom by measuring the camera ’s space from your body , zooming in as it moves further away . The patent is just for cameraphones at the moment , but there ’s no reason that it could n’t ( or should n’t ) crop up in the next generation of point and shoot as well . [ UnwiredViewviaEngadget ]
