Travel is a landscape in your hand: the function measurement of Sony Xperia XZ2 camera in Yang Shan.

As a photography enthusiast, in recent years, the balance of my camera equipment, except the camera, has been more or less transferred to the camera phone. Why does the balance shift to the camera phone? There is a big reason for this.

The camera I carry with me always allows me to photograph the casual beauty of every moment in my travel and daily life. What's more, mobile phones can be shared directly through communication software or community! This makes me enjoy it more.

I just came back from Yangshan with Sony Xperia XZ2 and many photos.

? First of all, travel records and fun: 4K video and super slow-motion video. Before the official photos of this mobile phone trip, I also want to mention the video about XZ2.

In terms of video recording, Xperia XZ2 can record 4K movies and also support HDR 4K movies with HEVC 10BIT HLG BT.2020 color gamut.

It is worth mentioning that XZ2 is very good at preventing hand shock in video recording. For general walking video recording, the picture is quite stable, which is a very convenient function for recording during travel.

▲ Not only can you record 4K movies, but also support HDR 4K movies with 10BIT color depth and BT.2020 color gamut.

The following are some 4K·HDR movies recorded this time.

At the same time, several 4K movies were recorded for your reference.

Xperia XZ2 also uses Motion Eye integrated lens module components, so in the video recording part, it supports 960fps tl ultra-slow motion video recording.

Although Xperia used to have super slow-motion video recording function, XZ2 further improved the resolution of the film this time. In addition to 720P super slow motion video recording, there is also a 1080P resolution option. The recordable length is slightly different. If it is a 720P super slow-motion movie, you can record it for 6 seconds. 1080P super slow-motion movie, which can be recorded for 3 seconds.

I have to say that this super slow-motion video is really interesting. Even though Sakura Fubuki, who met in the cherry blossom season, flashed by, he still left a snowy memory in the film.

▲ Super slow-motion movies have really made many very ordinary scenes a lot more interesting.

▲ The recording of slow-motion movies can also be divided into three types: super slow-motion, super slow-motion and slow-motion.

▲ In the ultra-slow motion, you can choose to record the ultra-high quality of three seconds slow motion with 1080P image quality, or record the ultra-high quality of six seconds slow motion with 720P image quality.

Here are the super slow-motion movies of Sakura Fubuki and the super slow-motion movies of water dripping on the water.

▲720P？ Six seconds, Zhong Chao, slow motion.

▲720P？ Six seconds, Zhong Chao, slow motion.

▲ 1080P three seconds super slow motion.

? Second, Sony Xperia XZ2 Sony Xperia XZ2 is somewhat different in appearance from the familiar Xperia. Compared with the square appearance in the past, the design of XZ2 adds more curves and adopts the design language of "environmental flow", which is really like water.

The appearance of the curve is soft and firm, and it can be held with one hand. I like this design very much.

Xperia XZ2 uses Qualcomm S845 processor with 6GB of memory. This top processor is quite smooth in commonly used apps, and the retouching apps I often use, such as Lightroom Mobile Edition, VSCO, and playing 4K movies, are also quite smooth.

The battery capacity of 3 180mAh is basically not a problem in a whole day's travel. With the fast charge of QC 3.0, even if there is no power soon, there is enough power to spare in a short time.

In fact, in addition to changing the design language of "environmental flow", XZ2 has a great change in appearance, that is, the screen ratio is changed to 18:9, and the overall appearance of the screen accounts for a larger proportion of the front.

Compared with the simplicity of the founder in the past, this positive design brings a different visual washing.

XZ2 also supports IP65/68 waterproof and dustproof. This time, the trip was always smooth. However, if the weather changes temporarily, it can still be used safely in the rain with such waterproof and dustproof level.

I often check photos and videos during my travels. The XZ2 display color is quite good, and the brightness control under the big sun is also ideal. Even if you encounter the big sun outdoors, you can still have a very good display effect.

This time in XZ2, there is also an evolved 3D scan, which I think is an interesting new function in daily life applications. Due to the computing power of Qualcomm S845 new processor, the main and rear lenses can not only scan 3D models, but also scan their own 3D models with * * * lenses.

In addition to sharing these scanned models with friends on Facebook, you can also put these constructed models into photos or apply cute virtual characters, which is quite interesting.

▲ In addition to 3D scanning with the rear lens, we can also scan with the * * * lens.

▲ Finished product after 3D scanning.

▲ After 3D scanning, you can not only share it on social media, but also place virtual dolls in AR photos. Of course, it can also be used to combine virtual characters.

▲ Operation of 3D scanning.

? Third, travel scenery, so as to start this trip. In fact, I quite like a small design detail of Xperia XZ2 in taking pictures, that is, the physical shutter button.

In this era, the camera performance and image quality of smart phones are constantly improving, but it is very good to have a physical shutter button in shooting intuition.

In normal use, you can take photos by pressing the shutter button outside the camera interface, and you can directly bring up the camera by pressing it for a long time under any screen, which is very convenient.

The Motion Eye integrated lens module adopted by Xperia XZ2 can not only record ultra-slow motion movies, but also have an output of 6.5438+0.9 million pixels. At the same time, it has focusing AIDS such as phase difference focusing, laser focusing and RGB-IR infrared detection.

In fact, in terms of use, whether it is a bright scene or at night, focusing is quite fast.

If I get any mobile phone myself, I will definitely open two options: one is GPS positioning record and the other is grid line.

If you record the GPS position, I hope to give full play to the advantages of the mobile phone, record the current position, and recall the position during the trip more accurately; And grid lines are more convenient for composition.

▲ Generally, I will open the storage location and grid lines to assist in composition.

▲ After opening the grid, you can master the stability of the composition.

? Fourth, when shooting romance at night, in fact, I mostly use the "intelligent scene recognition mode" to shoot, that is, the mode of turning on the camera at the beginning.

But occasionally in some scenes, such as night shooting, I still rely on M mode for more advanced settings.

Thanks to the diversity of M mode adjustment, I can also take a long exposure with my mobile phone and customize the white balance.

▲ The M-mode adjustable option of ▲XZ2 is very detailed.

▲ Long-time exposure of night scene in warehouse in M mode.

▲ Cangfu night scene.

I took these photos at night, whether they were taken casually or exposed for a long time, and I also felt the excellent quality of XZ2. The resolution, details and colors in dark light are ideal.

▲ Hiroshima Street at night.

▲ Saga Park night sakura.

Many times, I think "intelligent scene recognition mode" is already a very good shooting mode, and it can be shot almost immediately. Even in some cases where the color temperature needs to be adjusted, there are hidden options to adjust.

You can have a good color temperature photo with a little adjustment.

▲ In the intelligent scene recognition mode, the setting (gear) in the photo mode has a "color and brightness", which can be used for simple color temperature adjustment.

▲ In the "Color and Brightness" option, apply the yellow offset adjustment to the water town at dusk.

▲ Adjust to blue in the "Color and Brightness" option to create a blue night.

? 5. Cherry Blossoms in Spring This trip to Kyushu and Yang Shan happened to be in spring and coincided with the cherry blossom season. Pink and colorful cherry blossoms met with fine weather, which just shows the color display of Xperia XZ2 itself in the photo.

Xperia XZ2 I think it inherits Sony's always pleasing style, and it looks bright and natural in the photos. It is well handled in the night with slightly poor light, whether it is sunlight, backlight or cloudy days.

The photos taken by Xperia XZ2 are quite enjoyable, and sometimes it is even easier to share directly with family and friends than my monocular camera.

? Vivid memories of food by intransitive verbs During my trip, I actually photographed the same objects as everyone else: beautiful scenery, beautiful moments and, of course, delicious food.

Similarly, Xperia XZ2' s pleasing color tone does have a lot of points in food shooting, and the low light source that restaurants often have is not difficult for it. I am satisfied with the overall performance of food.

Intelligent prediction is also very accurate, and the prediction of close-ups, food and other scenes also leaves a vivid memory for each food.

Seven, travel, light and shadow for an instant, but I think the fun of mobile phone photography is really "carrying".

Because with me, in every self-help tour on foot, I often give up the camera, intuitively take out my mobile phone from my pocket and directly take pictures of every impressive light and shadow and city memory.

Exploring and shooting these tiny moments can also be said to be the greatest charm of mobile phone photography for me.

I often see interesting light and shadow or street scenes on foot, take out my mobile phone and leave without delaying my trip or disturbing the local area. XZ2 is really a good helper for taking photos at will.

? Eight, the eye of nature that can be obtained at hand when exploring, I think there is another charm in mobile photography: "Nature."

It is very light, easily available, and now the focusing performance is also quite good, creating every special natural vision.

The bandit deer on the palace island, the cat alley on the tail road, the greedy rabbit on the rabbit island ... all kinds of close-fitting angles are like the angles and photos that the camera can't do.

? Nine, spread out the palm of your hand to form a landscape. In this era, as a photographer, I like the operation and quality of the camera, and I want to change my lens to be happy, but I also like the mobile phone.

This is a kind of travel, a kind of scenery that can be carried with you.

In this era, the progress of science and technology makes the boundary between mobile phone and general digital camera disappear. We can use this small device in the palm of our hand to take pictures of everything we see during our journey.

Then take it with you, and you can share these good photos instantly at every moment of leisure. It is not only a camera, but also an action base for us to communicate with the world through images.

Although I already have a camera with good image quality, and I will send photos of the camera to my mobile phone with WIFI, I am still keen on taking photos with my mobile phone.

Because there are always some angles and opinions, only mobile phones can do it.

This is the charm of portability and portability.

When taking pictures, I always want to take pictures of every city I pass and all the scenery under my eyes.

But occasionally the size and aggressiveness of the camera make it impossible for me to record at will.

Lightweight mobile phone has become my best assistant.

So I took pictures with my camera, but I also took my mobile phone, for no reason, just to keep walking with the scenery in front of me.

On the way to travel, in the city where I live, I chase those light and shadow, delicious food, beautiful scenery, those fleeting moments.

It doesn't matter where you are.

However, no matter how much you like taking pictures, there are always times when it is inconvenient to take a camera: walking in the city, having a casual meal with friends, or bumping into each other on the way to work.

It's always a pity that you can't always take your camera with you.

I carry it with me, which is light and can reflect my observation.

The mobile phone accompanied me through every swaying afternoon light and shadow.

These landscapes always appear in unexpected corners and moments, so they are fixed on the screen of mobile phones.

A beautiful scenery unfolds in your palm.

? Ten, the finale: a portable landscape, after the trip, really lamented the improvement of the quality of mobile phone photography. Even if I am a photography enthusiast and encounter many interesting scenes during my trip, the first choice is to take out my mobile phone first.

The last mile of the development of mobile phone photography: image quality, which is similar to the general digital camera today. Good enough mobile phone photo quality, coupled with more portability, I think not only me, but also many people will gradually increase the proportion of mobile phone photos when traveling.

Taking photos with such a portable mobile phone should bring back better and more comfortable scenery in the palm of your hand without compromising its bulkiness and portability.

The weather is warm this year, and the flowering of cherry blossoms is early. Put the photos of the past few days in order, and put all the personal scenery about the spring outing of Xperia XZ2 at the end.

These photos are my trip with XZ2 and the scenery in my hands.
