Huawei photography is the farthest.

With the strong performance of P20 Pro in the first half of the year, how high Huawei Mate 20 Pro can take pictures should be the most concerned issue.

From the hardware point of view, Huawei Mate 20 Pro basically continues the configuration of P20 Pro, and it is still a combination of three cameras arranged in a matrix. Using this design, it is one thing to pay tribute to Porsche's classic four-eye headlights. More importantly, this layout will better reduce the difference in viewing angle between lenses and be more friendly to zoom and ISP processing.

Back to the specific parameters of the camera, the main camera of Huawei Mate 20 Pro is a 40-megapixel camera with a large aperture of f/ 1.8. Sony IMX600 sensor is adopted, and the telephoto sub-camera with an equivalent focal length of 27mm also retains the same 8-megapixel camera with an aperture of f/2.4 and an equivalent focal length of 80mm, which supports OIS.

As for the 20-megapixel black-and-white camera on P20 Pro, Mate 20 Pro is replaced by a 20-megapixel color super wide-angle camera with an aperture of f/2.2 and an equivalent focal length of16 mm. ..

Since Huawei P9, black-and-white camera has been the standard of Huawei's flagship series, which is used to capture more light and dark details and assist the main camera in imaging. However, with the addition of outsole photosensitive elements and the introduction of AI algorithm, the role of this black-and-white camera has been obviously weakened. Comparatively speaking, consumers expect richer focal length to adapt to more shooting scenes, so Mate 20 Pro changed the original 20-megapixel black-and-white camera to today's 20-megapixel color super wide-angle camera.

This camera is called super wide angle, but its actual function is far more than wide shooting.

Equivalent 16mm lens, wide-angle macro with one hand.

Ultra-wide-angle lenses have precedents in the field of mobile phone photography, but most of them use the principle of "hyperfocal distance" to lock the focus at infinity, so that the scene after a certain distance can be imaged more clearly, thus omitting the autofocus module (the principle is also used for a fool camera to take pictures directly without focusing). After all, in the cognition of ordinary users, the role of wide-angle lens is to "shoot distant scenery", and hyperfocal distance's scheme caters to this demand skillfully with low cost.

However, Huawei obviously thinks too much. It adds an autofocus module to this equivalent 16mm lens, recently supports 2.5cm focusing, and develops a super macro function based on the original super wide angle.

From the actual effect, the lens equivalent to 16mm can show a relatively wide scene in a narrow space, with strong picture tension, which is suitable for shooting large scenes such as scenery and architecture.

Super macro is the function of subverting existing cognition. Under this lens, the details far beyond the naked eye are presented one by one, such as the wing lines of insects and delicate stamens, and the details are staggering. The first time, you will love it. You can take an ordinary RMB for half a day because the details are too rich.

Leica triple beat, the strongest lossless zoom

Based on three cameras with different specifications, Huawei Mate 20 Pro supports 3x optical zoom and 5x hybrid zoom, in which the optical zoom is based on an 8-megapixel telephoto lens, and the hybrid zoom is based on high-pixel cropping and algorithm support, both of which can provide rich details and give creators more composition choices.

Because telephoto is more sensitive to jitter, Mate 20 Pro is equipped with o is optical image stabilization on the 3x telephoto lens to ensure image quality. As for the five-fold fusion, users need to keep their hand posture for a short time to improve the detailed performance of the picture.

In this set of proofs, Mate 20 Pro still has fine image quality under 5 times mixed zoom, and the words on the brand are clearly visible, far exceeding the digital zoom quality of ordinary mobile phones.

Optimize the super night scene to make the color details more harmonious.

Super night view is the most amazing function on P20 Pro. Its essence is to continuously take multiple photos with different exposure parameters, and then identify and align the objects in them by AI algorithm, so as to offset the image offset caused by jitter during shooting, and then superimpose and synthesize a clear and clean night scene photo with high dynamic range.

On Mate 20 Pro, this function has been further optimized and supported by all three cameras. Compared with P20 Pro, the problem of image dryness and distortion caused by excessive sharpening in the early stage has been improved. Moreover, due to the advantages of the main IMX600 itself, Mate 20 Pro's night shooting color, details and tolerance are definitely the top level at present.

AI blessing, art blockbuster shooting is easier.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro supports AI scene recognition, which can instantly recognize the main body of the picture, and make targeted style and parameter settings during imaging to improve the final shooting effect. For example, when shooting the blue sky, the camera will adjust the saturation of the blue to reflect the comfort; When shooting food, the camera will adjust the color to saturation and richness to reflect the delicious food; When shooting night scenes, the camera will turn on the super night scene mode to brighten up and reduce noise.

It can be said that with the help of AI, Mate 20 Pro has further lowered the threshold for mass shooting blockbusters, such as the following proofs.

At the same time, based on the improvement of computing power of dual-core NPU, Mate 20 Pro can realize the leap from static recognition to dynamic recognition, and can recognize dynamic human bodies in real time. It is precisely for this reason that Mate 20 Pro has added the AI ? ? portrait color retention function, which can identify portraits in real time when shooting movies, only retain the portrait color in the video, and render the background in black and white, thus shooting a very fashionable video.

At the same time, Mate 20 Pro also supports AI video editing function. Users can intelligently search for the protagonist in the filmed film, intelligently edit it, generate a new protagonist story video, and tailor the blockbuster for the people they care about. It's definitely a collection of awesome weapons in social circles.

To sum up, the imaging of Mate 20 Pro has been further improved on the basis of P20 Pro, with wider focal length coverage, easy response to multiple scenes, and amazing macro performance, which represents the strongest mobile phone camera strength at present.
