How to Take Better Photos with the Huawei P30 Pro

Mobile photography has taken an important step forward and the Huawei P30 Pro has managed to offer us the facilities to get anyone to get good photos. Photography always has much more to offer and in this mobile, with its great features, we can take advantage of them even more with the tricks that we are going to show you.

Not everything is based on the lenses or artificial intelligence , we must know how to find the balance between creativity, the possibilities in this case of the Huawei P30 Pro cameras and its multiple modes and options available with EMUI 10.

A camera on the Huawei P30 Pro for every moment

On the back of this smartphone we have three lenses, to which we must add the ToF sensor that gives us an improved approach with even more possibilities. In our search to offer you the best tricks , we have thought that the best way to explain it is by allowing you to follow it step by step and therefore we will do a lens-to-lens review, applying the tricks that each one of them has.

Its main lens combines with AI

We start with your camera in greater detail, which includes 40 Mpx and offers us many options and possibilities. Having such a wide resolution, we will have the possibility to capture from open spaces, to a small detail near us. Having such a high resolution and an f / 1.6 aperture makes our tremors or imbalances when taking pictures are not perceived, it will be the lens with which we will least notice. This is achieved thanks to the shutter speed that automatically corrects artificial intelligence, making us not have to worry about anything and the photo is clear despite everything. It is an ideal lens for capturing people on the move or animals that never stand still, a trick that few people know and confuse when using the sensor.

The recognition of scenes of your AI mode will inform us with a label of the correction you are doing according to what you recognize, in our case it recognizes a blue sky and will improve the tones so that the image does not burn in contrast to the houses we see on the bottom. The correction of tones is essential and if we deactivate it we will see how the change is worse.

During the night you do not even need to resort to the night mode that we will know later, since its RYYB sensor decreases the resolution of the lens to 10 Mpx and manages to capture 40% more light , which makes it the perfect lens for Sun fall, sunrise or overnight. This allows a night image to become a photograph with good lighting by using artificial intelligence to detect low light.

Night mode can greatly improve results

Although as we mentioned, it has an f / 1.6 aperture sensor and also RYYB , artificial intelligence can offer us to use the night mode, with which we will automatically increase the exposure time and the ISO will rise to a Maximum 409,600 points . This camera mode combined with the main lens will get as if it were a magic trick that the results are surprising and we get photographs that we do not imagine, especially if we combine it with vision changes; For example, instead of photographing a car in front, we can approach the roof of the car and photograph the hood so that the angle is not what we usually see.

If we add the night mode to this, we will get the scene up and the colors become brighter, with less detail when the RYYB sensor is applied, but more than enough for what you are looking for. In concrete photographs, we may need to support the mobile so that it detects that it is totally stable and increases the exposure time even more so that the image and the result is better, since our pulse can never compete with a tripod, even if it is homemade.

Portrait mode, more than a trick to photograph people

The main lens is the perfect option also for portrait mode that should not be confused with aperture mode. The 40 Mpx lens will make us capture every detail of the face without forgetting any pores of the skin. When faced with a reduced pixel size of up to 1.00 µm , we can zoom in the image once we capture it with our large 40 Mpx lens.

In addition, we can combine it with artificial intelligence, which will detect our face and make a blur adapted to what we are looking for. Before taking the photo it is advisable to touch on the object, to help the sensor find our most important point of focus, in this case the face of people. Then we have the possibility of changing the type of blur to be performed, with options ranging from circles, with more regular distortions and light, to a swirling or hearts effect.

During the night and especially in this portrait mode, it is very positive to use the Dual LED flash that, helped by artificial intelligence, prevents the image from burning in some areas, something that we find in many phones. This flash is not only useful for portrait mode, we can also use it in standard mode, although it is not a good option for other lenses, as it does not offer such an accurate result.

It is not recommended to use the zoom for portrait mode since the results will not be as clear and in this type of photographs we have the possibility to approach if we need it.

ToF sensor assisted opening mode

If we talk about the opening mode, we have to inevitably remember the star features of this smartphone, its ToF sensor that gets through a light wave to know the distance to objects much more efficiently. By doing this, the smartphone detects depth through a heat map, then applying it to the results we will see in your photographs.

This lens works in combination in all its modes, although the aperture mode allows us to have more control over it. When using it on our Huawei P30 Pro we can observe how we have the option to vary directly and know the opening , with this trick we will change it at our whim thanks to the ToF sensor that offers us very precise results. In photography this can have many applications and be a prominent trick so that the images are not like the ones we get with any other mobile.

It is advisable to use this opening mode with the objects, although with the faces it is better to opt for the portrait mode by giving a more spectacular feeling, we can still try to know the possibilities offered by the opening.

The wide angle depends a lot on us

The wide-angle lens that includes the Huawei P30 Pro is 20 Mpx, enough to get details not only of people who may appear in the image, but also capture everything around it , because it offers us a viewing angle higher. Especially in this mode of photography we must be careful and stabilize the image well , so that the photo does not distort.

Gran angular Huawei P30 Pro

A very important trick when using this lens and especially photographing people consisting of patience, since we have to place people away from the corners so that the correction of the environment by the large viewing angle does not affect the result. At all times artificial intelligence will have an effect on our image with a wide angle, but if we want to limit it and play ourselves with different results, we also have that option.

This zoom is not one more

The lens in charge of the zoom is 8 Mpx, with which we will be able to obtain images with 5x zoom without losing any detail . If we want to continue expanding our possibilities, we have to put into practice our tricks and make use of a place to support ourselves so that by using the hybrid zoom that reaches the 10x zoom so that we obtain worthwhile photos.

If we want to raise the bet to 50x zoom, we must know that the results will be purely digital and therefore we will not have detail. It is a good option for the day in full sunlight, if we have a tripod or a place to lean on , since artificial intelligence will help make the photographs amazing. However, at night we can only use this large 50x zoom to photograph the moon, since the aperture is ƒ / 3.4 and we will have to make use of artificial intelligence that will recognize the situation.

Helping us with a foothold the night mode will enter the scene, next to the large zoom and allow us to see the moon as we never imagined being able to see with a mobile phone.

Professional camera, explore and enjoy

In the professional mode we have the possibility to vary the colors, a trick that not everyone knows and will be very useful depending on the scene and the moment. The colors can be adapted, from clear that corrects them lightly to improve the result, another option is intense, to highlight the colors as if it were the HDR mode or standard that keep them faithful to the result.

In addition to colors, in the professional mode we have the possibility of adjusting various aspects such as exposure, ISO, white balance, focus point and exposure time. Here the tricks are more limited to the tests we do each in the situations we face, although yes, we recommend not using the professional mode in photography that needs speed. However, to get images of the sunset, enjoy even more the wide angle or telephoto lens, the professional mode is all we need to not miss a camera .

Tricks for the Huawei P30 Pro settings

Finally, but not least, we find its camera settings, where we can use the grid, a very useful element to position the objects or landscapes in the specific and necessary position. The three-thirds rule is something that we must take into account and that will be easier to apply with the grid of the Huawei P30 Pro. To make the photos more attractive and visual we have to place the main elements at the crossroads that occur between lines, in turn we have to divide the space, especially in the landscapes between ground, intermediate point and the sky, to not show much in any of them.

The horizontal level is another element that is recommended to have activated, because it will help us not to take inclined photographs and will warn us in case our pulse is rotating it little by little. To this we must add the options such as the timer or audio control that will help us place the mobile somewhere and place ourselves in the photo. With the audio control we can make the photos shoot when we say and using the timer in a chosen period of time. Within the camera modes we also find the painting with light or the panoramic mode, although these are already added options to the camera that can give you extra options at certain times.
