How to shoot the night view of Huawei mobile phone?

How to set Huawei's mobile phone "professional mode" to shoot night scenes? When using Huawei mobile phone to shoot night scenes, in addition to the "super night scene mode", you can also shoot by manually adjusting the parameters, which is often called the professional mode. How to operate specifically? Take Huawei P30 Pro as an example to see the specific shooting process.

▲ How does Huawei P30 pro shoot night scenes in professional mode?

1, fix the mobile phone with a tripod to minimize the jitter during shooting, such as Bluetooth remote control, wire-controlled headphones, timed shooting, voice control shooting, etc.

▲ Use external equipment to eliminate jitter.

2. Turn on the mobile phone camera and enter the professional mode;

3. Basic settings of the camera;

A. Resolution: Set this item as the largest file, and choose to open the RAW format at the same time (the recorded original file is convenient for later adjustment);

B. Level meter: You can visually see whether the mobile phone is horizontal, and if it is, it is solid white; If it is uneven, it is virtual white, which is mainly used to shoot a horizontal and vertical picture.

▲ Basic Settings Interface

C. reference line: reference line for assisting composition. With this line, the position of the main body can be quickly straightened (at the intersection).

Other items in the settings need to be selected according to the individual's specific shooting situation, such as photo scale, voice-controlled photography, automatic watermarking, etc.

4. Click on the "Lightning" sign (flashing) in the upper left corner and select the "Off" status;

5. Parameter settings of professional mode of mobile phone, from left to right: focus mode, ISO sensitivity, S shutter speed, EV exposure, AF autofocus manual focus, AWB white balance adjustment;

A. Photometric: Click "Photometric Mode", and there are three options. Matrix photometry is a kind of surface photometry, which has uniform light distribution in all parts and is suitable for photometry in large scenes and wide areas. The central key photometry measures the whole picture, but the key proportion is distributed in the central area, which is suitable for capturing portraits and animals. For example, you can choose this light effect when shooting people's faces; Spot metering is to measure about 2.5% of the area around the light spot of the picture, which is mainly used to measure tiny objects, such as seals, flowers and birds, small insects and so on. , and blur the background to highlight the layering of the object.

B. sensitivity ISO: click "ISO" to select 50. The lower the ISO value, the finer the image quality; When shooting night scenes, the ISO value does not exceed 200, and the corresponding image quality can also be guaranteed. When the ISO value is too high, the noise of the film will be higher and the painting texture will be worse.

C shutter speed s: click on s shutter speed and slide left and right to adjust the shutter speed. In professional mode, the highest shutter speed can be set to 1/4000 seconds, and the slowest can be set to 30 seconds. Usually, the shutter exposure time is set to 4 seconds, which is adjusted according to the site environment.

D. Increase or decrease the exposure of the "EV" item: under normal circumstances, it is not necessary to set it, just keep it at 0, which can be used to adjust the brightness of photos. Negative EV can reduce exposure compensation and make photos darker, while positive EV can increase exposure compensation and make photos brighter. Generally, overexposure will reduce EV, and if the picture is too dark, EV can be increased.

E. focusing mode AF: AF is a focusing mode, and there are three kinds of * * *: automatic single focus (AF-S), automatic continuous focus (AF-C) and manual focus (MF).

① Single focusing: it is the most commonly used focusing method, focusing only on the area selected by the finger and locking the focusing position. It will not automatically refocus or change the target to focus because of the change of shooting distance. Therefore, it is suitable for shooting still objects, such as scenery, still life and other subjects.

Automatic continuous focusing: suitable for shooting moving objects, such as fast-running animals and moving objects. It will automatically recognize the moving objects on the screen of the mobile phone and focus on them, so that you can take a clear picture by pressing the button at any time in the picture.

③ Manual focusing: Manual focusing: Manual focusing is particularly effective when shooting in macro photography, special effects shooting or dark environment. Select MF mode, drag the interface focus indicator bar, and observe the picture until the still life is clear.

F white balance AWB:AWB is white balance, and the default is automatic white balance. In addition, there are cloudy mode, fluorescent mode, incandescent mode and sunny mode, and their names correspond to the scenes they use. There is also a custom mode to adjust the color temperature range. The larger the value, the bluer it is, and the smaller the value, the redder it is.

▲ Custom white balance

In night scene shooting, due to the complex lighting environment, the use of automatic white balance always leads to color cast. You can manually adjust the white balance to recolor the light, which can make the night scene look more beautiful. Generally, the white balance is set in the range of 2500~3000 at night, so the picture is cold and the color of the photos taken is more realistic. Of course, you like to shoot in RAW format in the late and early stages, and the white balance can be ignored.

Shooting skills 1, time selection

Take a night view, in a word: it's getting dark before you can take the best photos.

"Will the sky be dark" here refers to the shooting time of the night scene, that is, when the lights are turned on every day, the sky is not completely dark blue. At this time, some natural light is projected on the building, and the light echoes each other, which can make the night scene photos better. Most mobile phones can record such scenes.

▲ When shooting in the dark, the sky is not completely black and blue, and the visual effect is better.

Step 2 make full use of light

Taking pictures at night, light is a problem, and making good use of street lamps can also take good-looking night photos.

When shooting at night, there are many lights that can be used, such as street lamps, such as the lights in the window of street shops, such as the modeling lights of buildings, and so on. These lights can be used to shoot night scenes. Try to choose photos with smooth light when shooting, so as to avoid underexposure of the subject caused by excessive backlight ratio.

▲ Make rational use of lighting to increase the exposure of the picture.

In addition to the night scene of the big scene, the window of the street shop, the interesting small scenery and the humanistic documentary at night are all good shooting themes. Reasonable use of light can also shoot mobile phone photography works with more flavor than during the day.

In addition, there are many basic operating skills, such as off-screen snapshot, continuous shooting, focusing, exposure locking, and separation of focusing and photometry, so I won't go into details here due to space reasons. Of course, there are appropriate later stages, such as the common blue-orange tone, black gold style and so on.
