Hello.

I'm newbie to P9.

1- How can i set F2.2 ?

2- How can i simulate a shallow depth of field by artificially blurring out the background (wide-aperture photography or Bokeh Mode )?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] aico60:
1.You can't change that, it's already set.

2.The second button on the top from left to right is this mode in the camera app.

I went from iPhone to P9 mainly because of the camera. I was blown away when I got it! This thread really help me to understand manual settings in the camera app and I would like to thank everyone! I've got one question about tripods.. I want to get myself one, can someone recommend me a decent one that ain't too expensive? Being from Croatia there aren't many (if at all) in our stores. I was thinking of getting myself one from ebay or aliexpress. Are those 10-20$ ones worth the buy?

Underexposure in preview

Hi guys I would like to ask if anyone here facing the same problem with me? :rolleyes: Basically in pro mode, sometime the preview will give up to expose properly if you manually set the ISO to be really low or long shutter speed in a relatively dark situation.

ISO 400 shutter speed 1/20 with autoexposure, preview is okay.

ISO 200 shutter speed 1/10, preview is underexposed.

Can you check that both your cameras are actually working? Take a jpg in collor and another one in B&W. Cover the cameras to see with one is witch. I read somewhere that some EVA L09 devices are developing a bug that kills the B&W camera. This camera is used in low light situations. I'm not sure if the phone uses both cameras to shoot raw. If it does, than checking your b&w camera should be the first step. I have an EVA L19 and raw's in low ligth look decent...but as any photographer i tend to use lower iso and higher exp times.

can someone please check out this photo. each time I snap a picture of a person it turns out this way. as if I applied some kind of a filter. it looks so gray, cloudy, similar to beauty mode (which was turned off). Close up pictures do look quite better compared to this one.

Taken in the Western Cape, South Africa, in a fishing town called Arniston. I see this one as a pure luck shot since we were walking around in overcast conditions when a break in the clouds hit right in front of me. It was in monochrome pro mode, iso 50 was the only manual setting.

Edits included contrast reduction and a subtle vignette to accent the lighting condition.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] philipone69:
Is the picture shot in auto mode? Try shooting in manual and see if it still looks weird. To my eyes everything looks ok though
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brontok:
yes, auto mode was on. I wish I had another picture so that I could show you the difference. In normal photos my face has normal white colour. Here it looks as if I have zero blood in my body :) Gonna try with pro mode in the future and see how that goes.Thanks for feedback.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] philipone69:
I auto mode, the software kicks in and it adjusts the photo taken and in some cases it might make you look like a vampire :)))

Take advantage of the leica software and use manual. You will get way better results....or just click the "colourful" mode when shooting in auto. It will boost all the colours.

Another option is to edit your photos with snapseed.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brontok:
The problem is I have never used the PRO mode on any cellphone. Dont even know what each setting does :) But nontheless I`ll give it a shot and see how it goes.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] philipone69:
It's not that hard. Also there are tons of tutorials on youtube. The leica software on this phone makes it a great tool for photography. Try it. You won't regret.

If you want to keep using it on full auto, than select full color and turn on hdr. It will make a difference for the better.

How to move photos between folders (or internal to SD card, and vice versa) while keeping the field depth adjustment options?

This functionality disappears when the photo files are moved to a different folder in the phone, and are viewed in the gallery at their new location.

I assume the files have some metadata associated with them which is lost when they are moved.

Any trick to keep this metadata when moving files?

Anybody else having problems with Night Shot mode? Mine freezes the camera app so i have to kill the app and sometimes i even have to reboot the phone to be able to use the camera app again, and the resulting image is always really dark, when taking a pic it clicks right away so no long exposure as it does when it works fine. I've tried doing factory reset, downgrading firmware also upgrading. Seems that it works for a while in the beginning but always goes into freezing after a few days of use.

The phone is a EVA-L09, tried with 182, 360 and 361 firmware, no root.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, after 2 months I must say that Im not pleased with the P9s cameras. Regular photos are really good, such as these ones. But when ever I take a picture of a person the face looks pale, dull, almost as if the picture was shot in black and white mode. The same goes for the front selfie camera (my face looks like I dont have any blood in my body:)

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cheeze.keyk:
I agree with you. :(
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I have found the colour saturation to be a little low on default settings. I have mitigated things slightly by keeping it on the Smooth Colours setting. Vivid Colours has the opposite problem of oversaturation. Give that a go. I also usually chuck my favourite photos through Photoshop Express for Android before sending/posting them. Has good tools for quickly adjusting saturation, temperatre, and smoothing out noise. (Yes the built in editor has some of these, but I just prefer Photoshop)

Before and After examples attached. Used Smooth Colours on the original. Took this at the weekend through not very clean glass enclosure. Loving this camera. The one of the Terrapin was on manual mode and has had no tweaking.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brontok:
thanks for the tip. will try and see if there is any notable difference. regular photos are ok in default mode. it`s just that the pictures of people (namely their faces) look really pale. I`m hopping this mode will help.

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Akinaro:
You dont mind some suggestions?

In first shoot you should frame it and focus more on those cables, not road. Or choose vertical framing and make nice perspective with floor and its red stripe and that building in the middle.

In third pic those litter bins are not really nice object of interest ;]

In last one you should frame the sun, not leave it behind the scene.

When taking pictures dont really mind standing in weird places or holding your phone in weird way. For Example in thirds picture you could move more to the left, almost near the road, in front of those bins, and you could get nice shoot with road and those lamps creating nice perspective tunel.

Really people should not be afraid of choosing nice spot to take a picture, its not weird. People can stand in the middle of road just to take a selfie, so stopping to take proper picture should not be consider "weird"

For good few years Im doing pictures for textures/plants as a hobby. Im literally doing pictures of walls, doors and trees. xD You can just imagine how people look at me when I stop to take a picture of old brick wall or put blue cardboard behind some plant just to separate it from the rest of green background.

Back when I was using my proper big Sony camera with monopod people where not bother by that, but now when my phone camera is enough for that people seriously freak out when I do this :D They just dont get it that more than half of 3D stuff they watch need such pictures for textures, and doing them is WAY cheaper that buying them from internet.... -_-
