This is very cool, but I wish marketing material told people that skin oils on their lends cause soft photos. Most people don't know to wipe the lens before taking a selfie, and the resulting photos look terrible.
How much time do you think they spent to write an algo to detect dirty lenses, and how much megacycles is spent to run it? So much for an annoying popup.
Compared to all the other things running when using the camera ? Nothing. Modern phone camera are like 50% cpu processing, both preview and capture.
By comparison it's rather easy to figure out there is something in focus far below minimal distance.
> So much for an annoying popup.
The very vast majority of people prefer to be warned about it and correct, than figure out later that the photo they wanted is ruined.
