Upping your mobile photography capabilities, the DxO ONE is a sleek digital camera designed for use with your iPhone or iPad. Its compact, take-everywhere form factor incorporates a Lightning connector for attaching to your iOS device, and a dedicated app offers intuitive camera control, image playback, and live view shooting. Beyond making a physical connection with an iOS device, this camera also features built-in Wi-Fi for wireless remote shooting to suit stationary shooting applications, such as taking group portraits, long exposures, or astrophotography.
In regards to imaging, the ONE features a large 20.2MP 1" BSI-CMOS sensor to benefit working in a variety of lighting conditions and enables the SuperRAW capture mode for increased clarity and reduced noise for extreme low-light shooting. Full HD 1080p/30 video recording is also supported as well as the use of shutter speeds up to 1/20000 sec and sensitivities to ISO 51200. The wide-angle 32mm f/1.8 equivalent lens also complements working in difficult lighting conditions, as well as enables greater control over depth of field. The ONE is built to expand mobile imaging possibilities while retaining the intuitiveness and efficiency of always having your camera with you.
As a complement to your existing iPhone or iPad, the ONE retains a self-contained design and utilizes an internal lithium-ion battery for power and accepts microSD memory cards for saving your imagery. Dedicated shooting modes, such as Selfie or Sports, can be used in addition to conventional manual exposure modes, and a contrast-detection AF system helps to ensure sharp results with touch-to-focus control accessible via the iOS app.
The DxO ONE is compatible with the iPhone SE, 6s Plus, 6s, 6 Plus, 6, 5s, 5c, 5, iPad Pro, Air 2, Air, mini 4, 3, 2, or iPad (4th gen.), running iOS 9.0 or later, or WatchOS 2.0. The camera is compatible with these mobile devices via Lightning connector, and can also be paired with them via Wi-Fi for remote control.
Once connected, the ONE can be used remotely for instances where the camera needs to remain still, such as for astrophotography, long exposures, or group selfies, and recorded images can be sent directly and immediately to the linked iOS device. When shooting remotely, the rear OLED can be configured to display a framing assist guide for more accurate compositions, and the touchscreen OLED also permits shooting mode navigation sans the iOS mobile device.
Beyond still imagery, the ONE can also record Full HD 1080p/30 video as well as HD 720p/120 movies.
The fast f/1.8 maximum aperture offers control over depth of field and benefits working in low-light conditions. Shallow depth of field imagery is further complemented by a six-blade diaphragm for a smooth out-of-focus quality.
