What does the HDR camera mode of Huawei mobile phone mean?

Nowadays, people have higher and higher requirements for the camera function of smart phones. Now most mobile phones support HDR camera mode, so what does the mobile phone's HDR camera mean? In fact, HDR is a common technology in photography. In HDR photography, photos can better show the details of bright and dark parts. How to turn on the HDR photography function of the mobile phone? When is HDR suitable? Here is a brief introduction.

Mobile phone HDR photography is a high dynamic range, which is used when the difference between the brightest and darkest parts of an object is particularly large. When HDR is turned on, there will be three photos of continuous shooting, corresponding to underexposure, normal exposure and overexposure. Then, these three photos are combined to highlight the best part of each photo and generate a beautiful photo.

1. Turn on the camera of the mobile phone. Here, we see that the HDR function is turned off. Click HDR.

2. Then, click "Open" to open the HDR function.

3. When HDR is turned on, the lens will return to the real yellow font HDR. At this time, a box will appear when you click on the lens, and the camera will automatically focus to fill the light.

What does it mean to take HDR photos with your mobile phone? When is HDR suitable?

1, landscape photo

In large-scale landscape photos, there is usually a huge contrast between the sky and the land. If your camera only takes one photo, it is difficult to deal with this contrast. With HDR, you can capture the details of the sky without making the ground look too dark. On the contrary, you can capture the details of the land without making the sky look too bright.

HDR ensures the color of the lake and sky, and also ensures the exposure of the forest.

Using HDR can make the overall exposure and color gradation of photos better.

2. People in the sun

As we all know, light is very important for a good photo. Too much light on the face (such as dazzling sunlight) will cause disharmonious effects such as shadows and glare. HDR can properly enhance the exposure of the shadow area, so that the exposure and details of the main body of the character are better.

3. Low light and backlight scenes

If your photo looks a little dark (which often happens if your scene has too much backlight), HDR can brighten the foreground part without diluting the right part of the photo. Which scenes are not suitable for HDR?

Of course, HDR is not everything. In some scenes, taking photos with HDR will have the opposite effect. In the following scenarios, it is not suitable to turn on HDR.

1, shooting moving objects

If your subject is moving (or may be moving), turning on HDR will have a chance to blur the photo. Because HDR takes three photos, if the subject moves between the first and second shots, the final composite effect will be ignored.

2, high contrast scene

Some photos will look better because of the sharp contrast between light and dark parts. Turning on HDR will reduce this contrast and make the photo unattractive.

3. Colorful scenes

If the color of the scene you want to shoot is very bright, it is not recommended to turn on HDR at this time, because it will make the color much dimmer.

The above is a brief introduction to the significance of mobile phone HDR photography. From this article, we can have a certain understanding of mobile phone HDR photography, and have a simple understanding of when it is suitable and when it is not suitable. I hope it helps you.
