The iPhone 11's Deep Fusion Camera is Now in the iOS 13 Developer Beta

Apple's Deep Fusion photography system has arrived in the latest developer betas of iOS 13, hopefully hinting that it will ship for the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro soon. From a report: To refresh your memory, Deep Fusion is a new image processing pipeline for medium-light images, which Apple senior VP Phil Schiller called "computational photography mad science" when he introduced it onstage. But like much of iOS 13, Deep Fusion wasn't ready when the phones arrived two weeks ago. And although the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro have extremely impressive cameras, Deep Fusion's is meant to offer a massive step forward in indoor and medium-lighting situations. And since so many photos are taken indoors and in medium light, we're looking forward to testing it.

[...] With Deep Fusion, the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro cameras will have three modes of operation that automatically kick in based on light levels and the lens you're using: The standard wide angle lens will use Apple's enhanced Smart HDR for bright to medium-light scenes, with Deep Fusion kicking in for medium to low light, and Night mode coming on for dark scenes. The tele lens will mostly use Deep Fusion, with Smart HDR only taking over for very bright scenes, and Night mode for very dark scenes. The ultrawide will always use Smart HDR, as it does not support either Deep Fusion or Night mode.
