In the office, Kang Chi held the camera that he didn’t even know where to hold, and tried to take a few photos. Then he was surprised to find that he could actually take photos.
And because it used a 1200w pixel CMOS from Jia Neng, the photos that came out looked pretty good.
However, during the shooting process, it can only manually adjust the shutter speed and sensitivity, and then play back the photos taken.
Other functions such as automatic metering exposure, autofocus, video shooting, white balance adjustment, etc., are all missing…
It’s all about retro.
Not to mention, it doesn’t have a focus system, but it matches the manual lens of Daqin Optics quite well.
If it is equipped with a first-generation lens, it would be a perfect match.
This He Yongbin is good! Bold and creative.
Kang Chi was quite satisfied with this.
Although his craftsmanship and design ability were not very strong, he was a talent to make such a camera in such a short time. It also proved that he had his own unique understanding of the overall manufacturing ideas of the camera.
Anyway, they could help Kang Chi make the camera to this level, which saved 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 he was also patiently waiting for Kang Chi’s reply. Although he was not afraid of boiling water, he was still a little nervous after receiving the call.
”Mr. Kang? This is He Yongbin. Have you received the camera?”
”Well, your efficiency is good and the effect is also good.”
”Ah?”
He Yongbin couldn’t help but be a little confused.
Kang Chi not only did not despise them, but actually praised them?
However, Kang Chi’s next words made him drop his jaw even more.
”I am going to add an additional 200 million investment. During this period, you can use this money to expand the manufacturing site and manpower of the camera department. I will let Fang Qiming come to Shanghai to assist you in handling company affairs. You will mainly be responsible for technical matters.”
”No, Mr. Kang… Are you really going to mass-produce that camera?”
”Of course not the one you made. 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 suppliers and which ones need to be made by yourself… I will solve the manufacturing equipment here, especially the CMOS part, you don’t have to worry about it at all.”
After listening to Kang Chi’s explanation, He Yongbin was relieved.
But soon, he had more doubts and curiosity in his heart. That stitched monster that took only one month to develop…
It is not an exaggeration to call it industrial waste.
Even if it is improved, how good can it be? Will anyone really buy it after mass production? 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 as the saying goes, the boss who pays is the boss.
No matter how skeptical and pessimistic He Yongbin is, as a senior worker who has been beaten by society, he can only do what the boss tells him to do…—— In the next few days, in addition to making the lithography machine, Kang Chi took the time to improve this camera.
The first thing to do is to dismantle it completely and then reassemble it.
The purpose of doing this is to replace the CMOS he made and activate the system panel.

Kang Chi was relieved when he saw the system panel pop up.
In fact, many parts of this camera are semi-finished products purchased by He Yongbin, such as the motherboard, memory, etc. If this method doesn’t work, Kang Chi will have to continue to rub the parts and continue to improve his mastery of the core technology.
Fortunately, the system is very sensible and knows that most of the things in it can be solved as long as Kang Chi analyzes them a little.He made it himself, and the most critical CMOS was also made by himself, so he was very generous and directly popped up the upgradeable panel. However, Kangchi certainly cannot be upgraded like this. The current bayonet of this camera is from Jianeng. If it is upgraded directly, it will be fixed to Jianeng’s bayonet, and it will be troublesome to change it at that time…
Kangchi needs to design a set of lens bayonet specifically for Daqin Optical’s camera.
Since 2018, when Nikang and Jianeng also released micro singles, they have been promoting their RF bayonet and Z bayonet, madly emphasizing the advantages of large bayonet diameter.
In fact, it is true.
The edge quality of the large bayonet is significantly improved, and the theoretical aperture value of the lens can also be made larger.
Nikang suffered from the small bayonet as early as the SLR era, and was beaten by Jianeng’s lens.
So when designing the Z mount for micro-single cameras, Nikang started with a huge 55mm mount, which is 9mm larger than the diameter of the Sony E mount.
But a large mount will make the lens 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 must be a trade-off between the two.
Sony chose a small mount, which makes its cameras and lenses relatively small and light,
But correspondingly, the lens aperture is small, and it is difficult to make a high-quality large aperture lens of 1.2, so Sony’s micro-single camera focuses on video shooting performance, and taking pictures has become a bonus function.
When Sony launched its micro-single camera, it just ushered in the explosion period of short videos, so Sony was able to catch up and surpass its big brother Canon in the field of digital cameras.
And Nikang chose the other extreme, pursuing the top image quality performance.
Jia Neng probably thought that their 5D users were already used to fitness, so they chose to follow suit.
The RF opening is only 1mm smaller than Nikang’s Z mount.
As for Kang Chi…
Only children make choices.
He chose to have them 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, he will directly reduce the dimensionality and launch an affordable medium-format camera with a large mount! Soon, with the assistance of engineers from Datang Heavy Industry, Kang Chi made preliminary improvements to the camera and replaced it with the 45mm Daqin-Hero mount he designed.
At the same time, he also redesigned the internal structure and outer shell, so that it looks like a normal camera overall except for its bloated size.
Next, you can start upgrading.
General experience -500.
A glimmer of light flashed, and the camera’s bloated size suddenly shrank.
Kang Chi glanced at the panel and found that after upgrading to level 2, its pixels reached two million, and the automatic exposure function was added.
Continue.
General experience – 1000,
General experience – 2000,
General experience – 4000!

[Mastery points: 31.2]
After upgrading three levels in a row, Kang Chi was a little afraid to upgrade,
Because the CMOS pixels at this time have reached 20 million. If he continued to upgrade, if the chip technology he mastered could not be manufactured, not only would it waste experience, but it would also cost more mastery points to analyze.
That would be a big step and it would be painful…
