Arsenal 2 AI Camera Assistant.

[The Old Ruminator]

Nothing to do with football but an AI hardware programme that sits on top of your camera. Like I have already said photography is getting more intuitive so like self driving cars you wont have any input at all.

CAMERA BODY, MEET CAMERA BRAIN​

Arsenal 2's smart assistant AI suggests settings based on your subject and environment. It uses an advanced neural network to pick the optimal settings for any scene (using similar algorithms to those in self driving cars).

Smart Assistant customizes settings based on the lens and camera you're using, along with how they perform in different situations. Is your lens weaker at certain apertures? Arsenal 2 will move settings to avoid those weaknesses. Sitting atop your camera, Arsenal’s accelerometer can judge exactly how stable your camera is. It can then choose the perfect shutter speed to get sharp photos without noise.

AMAZING PHOTOS WITHOUT EDITING​

Arsenal 2’s Deep Color uses a neural network to intelligently develop each photo. Deep Color is not a look or a filter. Instead, it produces a set of adjustments custom to each photo. The results are balanced yet powerful, rendering bold images that flatter every photo without being over the top. See the difference in these examples comparing a camera's built-in colors to Arsenal 2's Deep Color.

FULL WIRELESS CONTROL​

Arsenal 2 lets you control your camera from up to 100 feet away. Tap to focus, change settings, see a live preview, and take the shot—all from your phone.

CAPTURE PHOTOS THAT ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD​

Night photography is notoriously difficult. Arsenal 2’s Night Assist makes it easy. It can focus on the stars with a tap*, then calculate the perfect settings to get sharp, detailed night photos.

STACKING MADE EASY​

If there’s one secret of the pros in landscape and real-estate photography, it’s stacking. Stacking simply is taking multiple photos and merging them together to capture detail that is lost in a single exposure. Arsenal 2 makes stacking easy.

Getting sharp photos isn’t easy. Arsenal 2 can automatically take and merge multiple photos at different focus positions (at the lenses sharpest aperture) to create incredibly sharp shots.

GREAT SHOTS IN TRICKY LIGHT​

Even with today's high dynamic range cameras, it’s very common to lose details in the highlights or shadows. Arsenal 2 can take multiple photos at different shutter speeds to capture all of the missed detail, then merge the photos for you.

The brave new world of photography or a load of bunkum I really don't know. Whatever it does highlight the direction photography is heading. We will all be brilliant photographers one day.

My camera can cope with the light problem having multiple HDR settings that seem to resemble the conditions described. One can also RAW edit in camera. Image stabilisation has been around for ages as well so I wonder how much Arsenal Two does to do the same sort of thing.

It says it uses similar algorithms to self driving cars. Those are trained on typical street scenes (plus specialist inputs like the captchas that ask you to pick all the pictures with traffic lights or bikes). Unless the Arsenal 2 has been trained on cave scenes, it won't know what to adjust.

I got the first version of the arsenal, but it, my phone and my camera were all too slow for it to work effectively. I would probably try to have another play with it sometime...

My DSLR camera already does all of this, my lenses are fabulous, and I'm really good at taking the shots and processing them, so they're wasting their time in my case. It's all pretty desperate really. Some people are just naturally better at some stuff than others are - but then some of the others are probably better at some other stuff than some other people are. It's perfectly normal.

If you look at it from the other end, and see it as coders trying to make yet another 'new' product to justify their careers, it makes more sense. Unless they've already been replaced by AI...
