I think aperature mode reduces some of the over face softening and blemish removal. But it's still not as sharp as some phones like the Pixel. I think some places in the world prefer softer and lighter faces, so it's incorporated into the camera software. I'm awaiting replacement right now, so I can't check to see if its available under the front camera. It helped with the back camera for me.
Just looked, sadly there is no aperture under front camera. Is there any other way to reduce it? It is a software thing right?
And I tried to use portrait mode with selfie cam but there is no bokeh effect do I have to do something else?
Reduce beauty effect to zero

In the camera app.. There are 3 options to get what you wanted. Test them all. I find the selfie cam close to pixel phone as well
I will try thanks. But what about the bokeh effect? It does not apply to it when I shoot a picture in the portrait mode

I got this answer from other forum.
I am not sure you are talking about the fron or rear camera so i just assume you meant the fron one.
Go to portrait mode, there will be 3 buttons below, press the one on the bottom left and select the one after "None"; the round one.
Try taking photos after you adjust the settings above.

Hi! In view finder there is a option(looks like a box), you should enable it for bokeh mode.
If you use portrait mode, and really need the bokeh (which is far from perfect even on Pixel 3), then use Portrait mode, and just hold still when you take the shot. The phone will sharpen the photo if you hold the phone steady.
My selfies are sharper on the Mate 20 Pro than my Pixel 3 (Which I am going to sell as it's rubbish)
Also, remember the smart HDR can make the photo look overprocessed.
CHinese version is updated to 166 and reportedly to improve selfie. I'll wait if not I will sell it.

A few months back I upgraded my phone from op2 to LG g5 H860.
So, I've been playing around with my phone and I noticed that my camera pictures are grainy. Seems like pictures taken on a 5mp (or lesser) camera.
I took pictures with my camera (all default settings and auto mode) without any zoom and after capturing I tried to zoom in into the picture, like 20% zoom to notice that they are very noisy. I'm not so good at photography, so I never bothered to check this kind of stuff with my other phones before.
I have taken pictures with both rear and front cameras and they both look very noisy. Like water color painted pictures. I'm not sure if I'm putting the right words here but I think you get what I am talking about. I am adding a sample attachment.
Can someone tell me if this is normal or am I missing something here or if there's some problem with my phone itself?
I am already frustrated that I can't unlock my bootloader and I hope this wouldn't add more to it.
Do you tried clear the lenses?

Yes I did. But that doesn't seem to be like a problem with dirty lenses?
Man, I had the same exact problem.. buy new lens.
Try manual mode and turn down the iso speed. Sometimes higher iso speeds produce heavy grain. See if that helps any.

Anybody here tried some lens for the P20/P20P camera? What model you tried and how does it perform?!?
Here is one using 52mm star 8+ under night mode
i'd love love a good wide angle one. i almost regret selling my v30 and upgrading to this. never use the zoom, but would have used wide angle as my default. anyone? the post above looks good clean enough at 52mm

I have use for my S8 BlitzWolf Mobile Phone Lens, and they was fantastic. Very, very good camera lens. But now I cant use it on P20 Pro. On back cameras and front camera when you put lens, every time photo is blur. I dont know why?
I would like to know is they any good wide angle lens for P20 Pro.

IMHO, the p20 pro cameras all work in tandem, at least the 40mp + 10mp monochrome. You will suffer from diminished quality since your universal lens addon is only attached to one lens.

It wasnt anounced that they worked together, but they have in the past so they probably do. We'll see, I might try one if nobody else does.

You can try but based on what I know, you will be making some sacrifices here and there.
For instance, there are a bunch of sensors used for colour detection and a focus sensor sandwiched between the colour and zoom lens. If you use those clip on lenses you will be blocking the sensors.
The cameras I'm 99.999999999% sure they work together. That's the whole point of their marketing. A dedicated monochrome sensor to enhance image quality etc etc.
With multiple cameras in our phones these days, aftermarket add on lens means you get more trade offs when you use one of them.
i recently ordered one off Amazon. An AUKEY one for $10cdn
thinking having the wide angle would come in handy.
I will report back the quality of the pics when its clipped on. If im not satisfied, i will simply return it.

Yep. The phone uses at least two of the sensors together, if not all three.
Taken using a 0.45x super wide angle lens under night mode.
Can you take a picture with and without that wide lens so we can see the difference?

I got one of these for my old phone, didn't know what to expect
This is where ois really plays a part.
Did you know how many times it says "ONE POUND" on a one pound coin,?
From the macro I got I could see it !!
Amazing
25 times
Those bobbles aren't bobbles. They're words.
I'd recommend it so long as they're high grade. No plastic holders
Good morning,
Any link to buy it, or trade?

I don't have it with me pal.
The macro and the Tele lenses were the best if I recall correctly.
I'm sure there are images online.
When you use photo mode and toggle 2X it doesn't use the top lens, the telephoto one, it uses the maine with digital zoom, it makes no sense.
The only way to activate that lens is in portrait mode, them is uses the telephoto lens.
For me is a bit illogical not using the optical zoom in photo mode, like the mate 20 line-up does, it would be great that it could be fix in the future with a update.

TelePhoto Lens 2x times zoom is working on Photo mode.
It just depends on the lightning conditions. When it has enough light it uses telephoto.
One of my few complaints about this camera, is the fact that it's one of the few flagships, if not the only one where we don't have an HDR toggle, and that we have to go to a separate mode to force HDR. Why don't they give us the option to choose whether we want it always on? I'll post few pictures down below that showcase how much better the picture looks with HDR vs not having it on, especially when you zoom in, the difference is night and day.
So, is there a way to force it to always be on? Maybe through ADB, and although it's been years since I rooted any of my phones, I would do it in a heartbeat if there's a way to force HDR to always kick in. A donation for someone who can do this is also on the table.
Again, please take your time in checking the amount of detail and colors HDR is able to grab, especially once the telephoto camera kicks in.
Not that I know of, it is one the things that annoyed me since I started using Huawei with P9 and then Honor View 10 before P30 Pro.

I never get note of this but you are right, i tested the same on my p30 pro and HDR isn't the only thing, images are a lot more sharper on HDR mode when using telelens.
the effect isnt so dramatic when using the normal 40mpix lens but when telelens is used the HDR mode kicks in really good.
Ai does not work with HDR on. That's why I guess

That's because it does automatically use HDR at times, but sometimes when you need it to use HDR, it doesn't, and that's what pisses me off.
What sucks for me is that almost never it uses HDR when shooting in portrait mode, in many instances I end up getting a blown up background when I use portrait mode with a bright light source in the background.
The hardware on this phone is capable of wiping the floor with the Pixel 3, and even their software, it's just that Huawei has been sticking to some dumb choices for years now. All our complaints, and they decide that they don't want to listen to them and do anything about it.
This has been a complaint of mine since the P20 Pro. I do not believe there is a way to force HDR, though I really wish there was!
i think the must put HDR switch on/off in the main camera interface , and the HDR image its a way better then the non HDR image tacking by camera

To be honest i don´t get you? There is a HDR Mode, the camera will always shoot in HDR, so exactly what you want?

No the camera did not always shoot in HDR
If you switch the mode i would bet it does, it is not on the main interface but there is a dedicated mode for HDR. I would extremely doubt that this mode has no function

We want a quick toggle that gives us the option to choose if we want HDR to always be on, auto, or off, just like on almost every other flagship. We don't want separate mode.
Who "we"? It is so simple to choose hdr mode. And if AI is turned on and phone says "keep steady" it means it take hdr shot then.
First is hdr mode and second is AI on in normal auto mode

There's no way to compare because one shot was with the primary camera and the second one with the wide-angle...

Oh I'm sorry, did it bother you that I used the term we?
I'm talking in general, there have been tons of forums about this issue with Huawei's camera app, so I'm not the 1st to complain about it, and I definitely won't be the last. And as you can see in this thread, WE as a majority still find it stupid to put HDR as a separate mode and not a quick toggle, kinda like they did with the AI mode before, until they changed it the past few months. Now, if you have no issues with this, good for you, and this forum isn't clearly for you.
And two, I posted images with AI on vs HDR on, and if you can't see the results, then that's on you.
I want this feature too... HDR always ready on Main Camera, HDR+ will be much awesome...
Another app?
Isn't any other camera app for P30 Pro that does a better job?
Morning all
Of all the camera modes available, is Macro one of them?
I had the S20 Ultra and it was crap for anything close-up, so i switched back to the trusty Huawei.
I've always fancied a Note, and now the Note 20 is out, i can't justify the 20 Ultra's price tag, when the regular one will do what i need it to. Just wondering if Macro is one of the options, and if focussing is still an issue like the S20's had?
Look forward to your comments
Note 20 and 20 Ultra have ultrawide cameras without autofocus. Therefore macro is not an option. In my opinion this is a much bigger problem that the Note 20's plastic back (which actually looks pretty nice).
Actually, I've found the telephoto camera to have a very close focusing distance to make macro possible. Have you tried that?

Turn off the 64MP mode. You want 12 MP. It's better image quality too. The standard camera is the only one that does 64MP, which is probably why you aren't seeing the others, and with 12MP, the camera uses pixel binning to improve image quality and low light captures.
