Technological power starts with upgrading lenses.

In the office, Kang Chi tried to take a few photos with this camera that he didn't even know where to hold it.

Then he was surprised to find that it could actually be filmed.

And because it uses a Canon 1200-megapixel CMOS, the photo effect is quite similar.

However, during the shooting process, it can only manually adjust the shutter speed and sensitivity, and then play back the captured photos.

Other functions such as automatic metering exposure, automatic focus, video shooting, white balance adjustment, etc.

That's not the case...

It’s about playing retro.

Not to mention, without a focusing system, it matches well with Daqin Optics’ manual lenses.

If you put a previous generation lens on it, it would be a perfect match.

This He Yongbin is good!

Courageous and thoughtful.

Kang Chi is quite satisfied with this.

Although his craftsmanship and design abilities are not very strong, being able to assemble such a camera in such a short period of time is considered a talent. It also proves that he still has his own unique understanding of the overall camera manufacturing ideas.

In any case, they can help Kang Chi build the camera to this extent, which can save him a lot of effort.

After Kang Chi inspected the goods, he picked up his mobile phone and called He Yongbin.

At this time, He Yongbin saw that the package had been signed for and was patiently waiting for Kang Chi's reply. Although he was already a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water, he still felt a little uneasy after receiving the call.

"Mr. Kang? I'm He Yongbin. Have you received the camera?"

"Well, your efficiency is good and the effect is not bad."

"what?"

He Yongbin couldn't help but be a little confused.

Not only did Kang Chi not dislike them, he actually praised them?

However, what Kang Chi said next made his jaw drop even more.

"I am going to invest an additional 200 million yuan. During this period, you can use this money to expand the manufacturing space and manpower of the camera department. I will ask Fang Qiming to come to Shanghai to assist you with the company's affairs. You will be mainly responsible for the technical aspects. Just do it.”

"No, Mr. Kang...are you really planning to mass-produce that camera?"

"Of course you didn't build this one. I will improve and upgrade this camera. After the improvement, I will send you the drawings. You can see which parts can be customized directly from the supplier and which ones need to be made by yourself... I will take care of the manufacturing equipment here, especially cmos, so you don’t have to think about it at all.”

After hearing Kang Chi's explanation, He Yongbin breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, more doubts and curiosity arose in his heart.

That suture monster that was barely developed in just one month...

It is no exaggeration to call it industrial waste.

Even if it is improved, how good will it be?

Once mass-produced, will anyone really buy it?

He Yongbin originally thought that the company might have a good future after being acquired by Daqin Optics, but now he seriously doubts that Kang Chi is even more unreliable than his previous boss.

But again, the boss who pays is the uncle.

No matter how doubtful and unfavorable He Yongbin is, as a veteran laborer who has been severely beaten by society, he can only do what the boss orders...
-

In the next few days, while working on the photolithography machine, Kangchi took the time to improve the camera.

The first thing to do is to dismantle everything and then reassemble it.

The purpose of doing this is to replace the cmos he made and activate the system panel.

After seeing the system panel pop up, Kang Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, many of the parts in this camera are semi-finished products purchased by He Yongbin, such as the motherboard, memory, etc.

If this method doesn't work, then Kang Chi will have to continue to work on the parts and continue to improve his mastery of the core technology inside.

Fortunately, the system is very knowledgeable and knows most of the things in it. As long as Kangchi does a little analysis, he can figure it out by himself.

In addition, he made the most critical cmos himself, so he generously popped up the upgradeable panel.   But Kangchi definitely can’t upgrade like this.

The current mount of this camera is from Canon. If it is upgraded directly, it will be fixed to the Canon mount. It will be troublesome to change it then...

Kangchi needs to design a specially designed lens mount for Daqin Optics' cameras.

Since Ni Kang and Canon successively released mirrorless cameras in 2018, they have promoted their RF mount and Z mount, madly emphasizing the advantages of the large mount diameter.

In fact, it does.

The edge image quality of the large bayonet is significantly improved, and the theoretical aperture value of the lens can also be made larger.

As early as the SLR era, Ni Kang suffered from the small bayonet and was hit by the Cannon lens.

So later when designing the Z mount for mirrorless cameras, Ni Kang came up with a 55mm large mount, which is a full 9mm larger than the diameter of the Soni E mount.

But if the bayonet is too large, the lens will be large and heavy, making it inconvenient to carry.

Not to mention ordinary consumers, even professional photographers, most of them don’t want to carry fitness equipment to work every day...

So there has to be a balance between the two.

Sony chose a small bayonet, which makes its camera and lens relatively small and lightweight.

But correspondingly, the lens aperture is too small, and it is difficult to make a high-quality large-aperture lens of 1.2. Therefore, the focus of Soni mirrorless cameras is on video shooting performance, and taking pictures has become a bonus function.

The launch of Sony's mirrorless camera coincided with the explosion of short videos, so Sony was able to catch up and overtake its big brother Canon in the field of digital cameras.

Ni Kang, on the other hand, chose the other extreme and pursued the highest quality image performance.

Jianeng probably feels that their 5D users are already accustomed to fitness, so they choose to keep up.

The RF opening is only 1mm smaller than Ni Kang’s Z mount.

As for Kang Chi…

Children only make choices,

He chooses to have it all!

It’s just that he plans to launch a full-frame camera with a small mount first to meet the needs of most ordinary users.

In the future, we will directly reduce the dimensionality and launch an affordable large-mount medium format camera!

Soon, with the assistance of engineers from Datang Heavy Industries, Kang Chi made preliminary improvements to the camera and replaced it with the 45mm DaQin-Hero bayonet he designed.

At the same time, he also redesigned the internal structure and casing to make it look like a normal camera except that it is bloated.

Next, you can start upgrading.

General experience - 500.

A glimmer of light flashed, and the camera's bloated body suddenly shrank.

Kang Chi took a look at the panel and found that after upgrading to level 2, its pixels reached two million and an automatic exposure function was added.

carry on.

General experience-1000,

General experience-2000,

Universal experience-4000!

[Item: Full-frame digital camera]

[Mastery Points: 31.2]

After being promoted to three levels in a row, Kang Chi was a little afraid to move up.

Because the cmos pixels at this time have reached 20 million,

If he continues to upgrade, if the chip technology he masters cannot be manufactured, it will not only waste experience, but also require more proficiency points to analyze.

That’s such a big step that it hurts...
