Dual Rear Lens

It takes two to see up close

ZenFone 3 Zoom sets the new bar for mobile photography, combining two entirely new camera systems. A 12 megapixel ƒ/1.7 aperture, wide-angle lens with ASUS SuperPixel Technology is primed to capture everyday scenes, especially in dark environment; and a 12 megapixel 2.3x optical zoom for high-quality close-ups from farther away. Switching between ZenFone 3 Zoom's dual cameras takes just an instant, and the combination enables an all-new depth-of-field effect - for portraits that look like they were shot by a pro.

12x Total Zoom

Break through the distance barrier

ZenFone 3 Zoom's true 2.3x optical zoom lets you shoot super-sharp, close-up photos and videos from right where you stand, and with just a single tap. When you want to feel even closer, use ZenFone 3 Zoom's improved digital-zoom technology to ramp up the magnification to a 12x view - and with clarity that's hard to believe.

2.3x Optical-Zoom Camera

Seize the emotion

ZenFone 3 Zoom's 2.3x optical-zoom camera and 59mm focal length introduces a whole new way to shoot. 2.3x optical-zoom produce a high quality close-up, and the 59mm focal length lens brought subject closer to you by creating more depth to its background object - so you'll capture depth-of-field effects to rival those achieved by professional DSLR cameras.

2.5x Light Sensitivity SuperPixel Camera

Camera that sees in the dark

To capture real-world authenticity, ZenFone 3 Zoom packs a 12 megapixel camera with a wide ƒ/1.7 aperture and the latest Sony IMX362 sensor. This combination, along with a large 1.4µm pixel size and a six-element lens, allows 1.25x more light to pass through to the sensor. This is further enhanced by ASUS SuperPixel Technology, effectively increasing captured light by up to 2.5x - making ZenFone 3 Zoom perfect for night time shots and low-light environments. You'll also benefit from both optical and electronic image stabilization (OIS and EIS) technologies for blur-free shots and video every time, a RGB color-correction sensor for true-color photography, and true 4K UHD video recording.

ASUS SuperPixel Technology

Night shot, low light & back light photos

ZenFone 3 Zoom's ƒ/1.7 aperture is one of the largest found on any smartphone camera, and it's coupled with a 1.4µm pixel size (1/2.55" sensor size) that's also among the largest in the industry. The aperture of any camera is the hole behind the lens through which light passes to reach the sensor. The larger it is, the more light is able to reach the sensor, and the better the camera will be for night shot, low light and back light photography. Combining with ASUS SuperPixel Technology with the SuperPixel Engine that drives its software enhancement to further increases its low light performance by intelligently controlling ISO levels while shooting and noise reduction in post-shot processing. ZenFone 3 Zoom can captures up to 2.5x more light in any given circumstance compared to competing smartphones. So, ZenFone 3 Zoom is a star performer in all conditions - and cuts through the dark even when the light is low.

2.5x Light Sensitivity

ASUS SuperPixel Camera - ZenFone 3 Zoom offers greater light sensitivity than other smartphones thanks to its new ASUS SuperPixel main camera that allows users to take extremely fast and clear photos in night or low light environments. The SuperPixel Camera consists of these three components

Large ƒ/1.7 lens aperture

The large aperture allows for more light to enter the sensor compared to other smartphone cameras.

Large 1.4µm pixel size

Larger pixels increase the camera's sensitivity to light, and decrease the graininess of resulting photos - especially those shot in low-light environments. ZenFone 3 Zoom uses the Sony IMX362 sensor with pixels measuring 1.4µm wide pixels and 1/2.55-inch sensor size, which are among the largest of any smartphone camera sensors, making the camera excellent for low-light photography.

ASUS SuperPixel technology

A combination of ASUS' new SuperPixel Engine hardware and image digital signal processing software that boosts sensor light sensitivity up to four times by intelligently controlling ISO levels while shooting and noise removal in post-shot processing.

ASUS TriTech+ Technology

Focus as fast as 0.03 seconds

We've upgraded ZenFone 3 Zoom with ASUS TriTech+ Technology, adding an all-new Dual Pixel PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus) system that uses similar technology found in DSLR cameras. Every single pixel on the Dual-Pixel sensor is used for phase detection, enabling auto-focus that's so incredibly fast, actually the world's fastest and seamless that even the most sudden movements are caught in the act - even when the light starts to fade. TriTech+ also features Subject-Tracking Auto-Focus for both photos and videos to keep the object in clear focus, and Laser Auto-Focus for variable distance and lighting clarity in just 0.03 seconds.

• Dual Pixel PDAF
• Laser Auto-Focus
• Subject-Tracking Auto-Focus

5% 600,000 pixels for light detection

Traditional PDAF

100% 12,000,000 pixels for light detection

Dual Pixel PDAF

ASUS 0.03s TriTech+ auto-focus - ZenFone 3 Zoom has an improved TriTech+ auto-focus system with new Dual Pixel PDAF technology as one of its three focusing technologies along with the second-generation laser auto-focus and subject tracking auto-focus. ASUS TriTech + automatically chooses the best technology to use depending on the subject, and achieves focus in an amazingly fast 0.03 seconds — the world's fastest auto-focus.

Dual Pixel PDAF

Each pixel on the sensor is now divided into two phase-detection sections that can detect the movement of subjects by analyzing the variations between the light rays hitting the two sensors. Working together with all the other 12-million pixels on the sensor, ZenFone 3 Zoom is able to achieve rapid phase detection auto-focus even in low light condition.

Second-generation laser auto-focus

Which has 3x (three times) the range of standard laser focusing systems which can benefit shooting close up subjects within 1.5 meters.

Subject-tracking auto-focus

The system cleverly tracks moving subjects while the user is shooting, so they will never be out of focus. Subject tracking is enabled by default for both still images and videos.

RGB Color Correction Sensor & 4K Video

Capture the realistic moments

Smartphone photos are marred by unnatural colors, typically caused by artificial lights - so ZenFone 3 Zoom has a RGB color correction sensor to capture the true scene. It detects the type of light and automatically applies the best settings to achieve the perfect balance for natural looking colors. ZenFone 3 Zoom shoots video at up to 4K UHD resolution (3840 x 2160) - or 4 times the quality of Full HD! There's nothing complicated for you to do: just point, shoot and share your memories, all captured with incredible levels of detail.

13MP Selfie Camera

Selfie with so much detail

ZenFone 3 Zoom has the world's most advanced dual-lens smartphone-camera system - and it's also a selfie superstar. The remarkable front-facing camera employs a 13 megapixel Sony IMX214 sensor for high-resolution selfies, and the ASUS SuperPixel Technology can further enhanced the light sensitivity up to 2 times. Screen Flash feature turns the entire screen bright white for brilliant illumination in low-light environments. Combined with the ZenUI Camera app's unique Beautification and 140° Selfie Panorama modes, you'll shoot selfies with more detail than ever before, add instant glamor and ensure that every friend is in the frame.

RAW file support

ZenFone 3 Zoom offers photographers the freedom to shoot and store compositions in RAW format. RAW files save the full data of the photo captured by the camera's sensor and are ideal for enhancement with editing software, where users are able to uncover fine details in areas of shadow, or recover overexposed areas in the highlights, with much lower loss of image quality when compared to editing JPEG image files. RAW support will be available with Android 7.0 (Nougat).

Manual mode

This mode enables full control over ZenFone 3 Zoom's extensive camera settings. These includes white balance, exposure value (EV), focus, and ISO settings, and an impressive shutter-speed selection of between 1/50000 seconds and 32 seconds. In ZenFone 3 Zoom, this mode also allows users to override the automatic camera selection and choose to use either the 25mm, ƒ/1.7 lens of the main camera or the 59mm lens of the zoom camera.
