Everyone knows that vivo X50Pro can't think that night shooting is a killer.

As early as this year's APEX 2020 concept machine, we learned about the micro-pan/tilt technology of vivo. Nowadays, the new vivo X50 series has brought us three models: medium cup, large cup and super large cup, among which the large cup will be mass-produced for the first time, bringing new anti-shake technology to mobile phones. We are honored to receive the engineering prototype of vivo X50 Pro, and then we will begin to experience vivo X50 Pro for a few days. Let's take a look at the difference between extrasensory micro-pan/tilt system and traditional anti-shake. What changed our photo experience?

Concise and exquisite liquid oxygen design language

Vivo X50 series has three colors: black mirror, liquid oxygen and gravity. The version I got is liquid oxygen color matching. After liquid oxygen color matching, the overall appearance of the shell is light blue, and the light refracted from the back will produce sparkling luster. The color matching of blue and gold gives people a refreshing feeling. The back is polished by AG process, which makes the back shell feel skin-friendly and feel very good. Vivo has always had its own unique aesthetic concept in terms of body color matching and texture, and X50 Pro is equally excellent this time.

There are four cameras behind the machine, and the micro-pan/tilt of the main camera occupies a large area, but it will not be abrupt. The trapezoidal gradient design is beautiful from the side. The camera module and Logo on the left side of the back shell are arranged on the left side of the back, and the overall design is simple.

X50 Pro liquid oxygen version has a thickness of 8.04mm, and its weight is controlled around181g.. At the same time, due to the hyperboloid design, the machine is particularly light and feels good. Compared with other half-catty 5G mobile phones used daily, the weight of the mobile phone is not too tired, especially suitable for girls.

Exquisite appearance and comfortable weight have always been the strengths of X series. What surprises me the most is that the camera module can be made so thin and light, with both the micro-pan-tilt main camera and the periscope lens on the thin and light body. It seems that vivo has made great efforts in thin and light design.

X50 Pro also embeds a piece of AG craft glass with the same material as the back shell on the top of the fuselage, and engraves logos such as 5G on it, and the details of the fuselage are well handled.

The front of the fuselage adopts a 6.56-inch flexible AMOLED polar arc screen, and the COP packaging fuselage compresses the screen chin as much as possible, so that the front screen of the whole machine accounts for 92.6%, and the visual effect is obviously improved. The screen quality is very good. In my actual experience, when watching high-definition video, the color performance is clear and full, and the daily use is smooth. Screen praise!

What's the difference between micro-pan/tilt?

At present, traditional mobile phone anti-shake technology mainly adopts EIS electronic anti-shake and OIS optical anti-shake.

EIS electronic anti-shake mainly corrects blurred images through algorithms to achieve anti-shake effect. The advantages of electronic image stabilization are no need for additional hardware, no increase in camera volume, low cost and easy optimization. The disadvantage is that the finished products shot by e is electronic anti-shake will be cut to varying degrees, which will reduce the resolution of the picture. EIS electronic image stabilization is simple in design and low in price, but the shooting effect is not good.

OIS optical image stabilization works with gyroscope by adding a floating lens in front of the lens. When the gyroscope detects slight jitter of the fuselage, it transmits the signal to the processor to calculate the compensation amount, and then adjusts the floating lens to avoid optical jitter, so as to achieve the purpose of optical image stabilization. Its advantages are less image quality loss at the edge of the image and more mature technology. However, most of the traditional OIS optical anti-shake can only be adjusted in the X-axis or Y-axis plane, and the anti-shake angle is still not large enough, and the anti-shake effect is limited. Moreover, because optical image stabilization needs accurate algorithm and hardware support, the cost is high. At present, mobile phones equipped with OIS optical image stabilization are expensive.

This picture comes from the internet.

If you are not satisfied with the traditional mobile phone anti-shake, you can buy an electric Yuntai peripheral. The gimbal still uses a gyroscope to detect the jitter, and finally the processor calculates and controls the gimbal arm to cancel the lens jitter. Pan-tilt was first widely used in the field of UAV photography, and then hand-held pan-tilt gradually appeared to help stabilize the lens. Although it is very effective to take pictures with the tripod head, the tripod head is basically heavy and needs extra shooting, so it is not convenient for daily use.

The mobile phone pan/tilt has been made very small, but it is still suitable for players and users.

Vivo directly built the large PTZ system into the small mobile phone this time. The main camera of X50 Pro is equipped with a micro PTZ system, which can get better shooting effect in the image stabilizer.

In principle, the micro-pan/tilt can not only realize the two-way movement of the X axis and the Y axis, but also rotate around the two axes to form the axial movement of yaw and pitch, and realize the "three-dimensional anti-shake" in more latitudes.

The main camera of micro-pan/tilt is composed of limit mechanism, double ball suspension, lens, motor, T-FPC, magnetic powder holder and lens protection structure. Vivo needs to make the tripod head small and thin. How does vivo design the main camera of miniature pan/tilt? Simply put, the lens module and CMOS are assembled on a two-ball suspension and embedded in a magneto-dynamic frame, so that the main camera can rotate flexibly. Parts such as magnetic powder holder and shrapnel need to be carefully designed and polished to achieve better rotation effect.

By calibrating the miniature pan/tilt in the camera, you can clearly see the rotation of the main camera.

Micro-pan/tilt can increase the anti-shake angle of the lens from plus or minus 1 to plus or minus 3, and the anti-shake area can be increased to about 3.2 times of that of optical anti-shake, which can solve the problems such as insufficient edge image quality in daily photography, prolong the exposure time at night, increase the light intake and realize more realistic night images. Next, let's actually experience the shooting effect of micro-pan/tilt.

Miniature Yuntai and Optical Anti-shake Laboratory

IPhone 1 1 Pro has a first-class optical image stabilization capability. Let's use X50 Pro to compare the optical anti-shake ability of top mobile phones with that of miniature pan/tilt. Before taking pictures, we turn on the built-in anti-shake assistant, which can help us understand the rotation of the micro-pan/tilt and stabilize the lens more conveniently.

After the setup, we fixed X50 Pro and iPhone 1 1 Pro on the same bracket and let them move together.

Let's move horizontally from left to right first, and we can see that the shaking amplitude of the micro-pan/tilt is smaller.

The same is true of vertical movement up and down. In terms of X-axis and Y-axis anti-shake, the anti-shake effect of iPhone is also good, but the jitter of micro-pan/tilt anti-shake is slow.

Optical image stabilization is mainly used for horizontal or vertical image stabilization. When taking pictures from different angles, it is obvious that the X50 Pro will have a smoother picture. The X50 Pro has a good shooting effect in the shaking shooting environment.

After practical experience, the micro-pan/tilt anti-shake is really effective, even surpassing Apple's optical anti-shake. When taking pictures every day, even people with shaky hands can take clear pictures.

Miniature Pan-tilt and Optical Anti-shake Lab 2.0

In order to let everyone know more about the anti-shake ability of micro-pan/tilt, we specially bought an indescribable massage stick to create an extreme vibration environment. We compare the X50 Pro and iPhone 1 1 Pro with the limit vibration of the first flagship machine made in China:

From left to right are vivo, iPhone 1 1 Pro, and a domestic brand.

We can see that under the strong shaking of external force, the young lady photographed by micro-Yuntai still ensures a stable state. Apple's optical image stabilization can't support it, and the lady in the picture shakes badly. Under the vibration of the massage stick, a domestic model featuring shooting also shook slightly. Under the vibration of the extreme massage stick, it is enough to see that the anti-shake ability of vivo's micro-pan/tilt system is stronger than the flagship model equipped with top-level optical anti-shake at present.

A more realistic night shooting experience.

Because X50 Pro is equipped with a miniature pan/tilt system, the shutter time can be increased as much as possible under the premise of stable image quality, effectively increasing the amount of light when shooting at night. At present, most mobile phone manufacturers realize night scene shooting through multi-frame synthesis technology, and the brightness, contrast and font of the picture are adjusted by AI algorithm. However, the calculated photos will have a sense of distortion, giving people an illusion after retouching. For those who have high requirements for the authenticity of the picture, they may be more interested in the night photos taken by X50 Pro equipped with extrasensory miniature pan/tilt.

You can also turn on tripod mode in night view mode, which can extend the exposure time and take a good look at the clouds on the high building.

The X50 Pro's night photos are closer to what our eyes see, with more realistic colors and excellent resolution.

Surprisingly, X50 Pro's night shooting can also start the super wide-angle mode, even at night, it can shoot high-rise buildings and other scenery, which satisfies my desire to take super wide-angle photos in the night mode.

Default style photo

This time the camera has its own style choice. This time, X50 Pro's style option is not only to set filters, but also to adjust the parameter settings when taking pictures to form a template, which can take more photos with distinctive styles.

We also tested a variety of styles, some of which are as follows:

From left to right, there are black gold styles and Cyberpunk styles, which can be used to quickly set the style of taking pictures in daily shooting, which is convenient for later retouching.

Pocket solution for vlog enthusiasts

Vivo X50 Pro is a product that brings micro-pan/tilt into mobile phones. It is conceivable that it must have made great efforts in film and television shooting. Especially in video shooting, vivo X50 Pro is equipped with three-axis electronic anti-shake based on its powerful X-axis rotation and Y-axis rotation, which makes vivo X50 Pro achieve a powerful X/Y/YAW/PITCH/ROLL "five-axis video anti-shake" effect. As we all know, with the powerful anti-shake effect, users can shoot the shutter more freely every time, and the fault tolerance rate of the film can also be greatly improved. At the same time, when shooting at night, powerful anti-shake is a killer weapon for shooting at night. So, what kind of good experience can the powerful anti-shake performance of vivo X50 Pro bring to users in video shooting under the sports scene? Let's have a look.

First, take a look at the anti-shake situation when recording video normally. Without turning on super anti-shake, the video anti-shake ability of vivo X50 Pro can be well reflected, and violent running during shooting will not affect its video recording. After turning on Super Anti-shake, vivo X50 Pro is more active in adjusting lens anti-shake, and the actual anti-shake effect is more obvious. And the video quality will not be greatly reduced after the anti-shake is turned on, which is also the place where the anti-shake of vivo X50 Pro micro-pan-tilt is more powerful than that of other mobile phones.

Thanks to the powerful micro-pan/tilt anti-shake, it can reduce the picture jitter caused by hand jitter when users shoot. In addition, vivo X50 Pro can recognize moving objects in pictures, such as people, animals and cars. And lock and focus by recognizing the appearance of the object. The locked object can continue to focus within 3 seconds after leaving the screen. Thereby helping users to shoot moving images and ensuring image quality. When shooting people's videos, vivo X50 Pro also adds the EFB continuous focus tracking function, which can continuously focus the eyes, face and body of people according to the situation while shooting, so that the photographed people always keep clear in the picture and the protagonist will not lose focus.

Vivo X50 Pro has many ways to play in video shooting. For example, when shooting a video, we should not only be able to shoot a good picture, but also be able to include the voice of the subject in our picture. This time, vivo X50 Pro brought us a movie-level three microphones, which can track and zoom sound. The three microphones can record in three different dimensions: front and back and panorama, and can be switched freely according to different needs when shooting. Compared with most other mobile phones with only two microphones, with the intelligent noise reduction and sound scaling function of vivo X50 Pro, the sound of the picture shot with vivo X50 Pro can highlight the main body.

Vivo X50 Pro can shoot good people and at the same time, when shooting videos, especially when shooting people, it can blur the background through its own powerful algorithm, thus highlighting people. And there is also a single reservation of the main color of the characters, which can make the characters in the video more prominent in the video and have a sense of film.

With such powerful video anti-shake performance, vivo X50 Pro is a product specially made for users who love shooting vlog. Friends who have seen vlog know that a complete video needs a lot of complicated post-processing. Compared with the complicated post-work required to shoot vlog with other digital devices, vivo X50 Pro greatly facilitates the majority of vlog enthusiasts to share their works in Tik Tok or friends circle.

Miniature pan-tilt lens with high quality screen

The miniature pan-tilt camera system can shoot stable and real pictures, which must be watched on the mobile phone after shooting. As the saying goes, a good horse is equipped with a good saddle, and the X50 Pro is also equipped with an organic light-emitting diode screen with excellent display effect. The peak brightness of its screen is 1300nit, generally only the peak brightness of the flagship mobile phone will reach above 1000nit, which meets the needs of going out to shoot during the day and can see the screen clearly even in the sun.

At the same time, the screen supports HDR 10+ technology, completely covering P3 color gamut, with a contrast of 6 million: 1. At present, mobile phones supporting HDR 10+ display are generally positioning flagships, such as iPhone 1 1 Pro, plus 7 Pro, Samsung S20 and so on. X50 Pro has excellent screen color display effect and wide display color range. At the same time, it also supports the 90Hz refresh rate of 180Hz touch sampling rate, which can further improve the fluency of use and obtain SGS eye protection certification. After comprehensive experience, it is a high-quality curved screen, and the display effect is in the first echelon.

Editor's summary:

X series has been focusing on the functions of thinness, HIFI and self-timer. In the fierce competition of domestic manufacturers, vivo has always been a relatively low-key mobile phone manufacturer, leading the trend from the initial off-screen fingerprint to the later lifting camera technology. This extrasensory micro-pan/tilt system also gave us a surprise, whether it will lead the anti-shake trend, we will wait and see.

Vivo X50 Pro, like the previous X series, is very good in color matching and feel. Vivo X50 series has black mirror, liquid oxygen and gravity, and its appearance is very beautiful. Even in the case of carrying a miniature pan/tilt, the thickness of the fuselage is controlled at about 8mm, and the weight is controlled at about 180g, which is very comfortable to hold in daily life.

First of all, the bold idea that vivo will add a miniature pan/tilt to the camera module of the mobile phone is very worthy of recognition. Moreover, the effect presented is also very good, whether in taking pictures or recording, the powerful anti-shake performance of micro-pan/tilt can be of great help. With excellent software effects, we can easily take excellent photos and videos, and at the same time, we can provide excellent software presets for creators to facilitate post-processing of works.

These excellent aspects are piled together, which perfectly embodies the selling point of vivo X50' s main photography. If you are a mobile phone user who likes videos and taking photos, I believe vivo X50 Pro will be a good choice. And you can also pay attention to the ultra-large version of vivo X50 series, which will have more powerful performance and a more perfect experience.
