PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus)

PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus) (n.) An autofocus technology that quickly measures the convergence of light rays to determine correct focus. In mobile photography, PDAF allows for faster and more accurate focusing compared to traditional contrast-detection systems. This is particularly useful for capturing moving subjects or in low-light conditions. Many high-end smartphones incorporate PDAF sensors directly on the image sensor for improved performance.
