HMD Global had earlier revealed that the Nokia 9 PureView can shoot with all five of the sensors at the same time and the device then stitches together these shots for a perfect, high-resolution image. The smartphone comes with 12MP sensors at the back, though the company has used a combination of three monochromatic and two RBG sensors. Nokia 9 PureView has PDAF focus. The camera shoots in RAW mode by default, but users can able to change this in the settings. The software can control each lens individually and capture 60MP to 240MP of data. It can also record videos in 4K resolution, but the company had explained that only a single lens is used for video recording. For avoiding a camera bump at the back, Nokia 9 PureView does not come with OIS or optical image stabilization. It only relies on EIS or Electronic Image Stabilization for video. Just like other contemporary smartphones, the Nokia 9 PureView can also shoot in HDR mode. For the Portrait mode, HMD Global claims the phone can identify 1200 layers of depth.
