Exactly. Oil painting effect. I have checked some photos from this thread. And I can see that it is an issue. Especially with wide angle. No clarity, but oil painting effect.

Why is it only, that Google and Nokia are able to produce DSLR like image quality with their camer app ?

[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] tonyaross:
The quality of pictures for indoor low light conditions is atrocious. It has a strong yellowish tint. I'm not a techie but I wonder whether the change from RBG to RBY is the cause for this, even though it brings the benefit of allowing more light to come in.
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] Maximus41:
In my opinion the quality of the images produced from the P30 pro(from my own and my brothers phones) are really not good at all..

Night mode is great although not realistic to the situation, upto 10 times zoom is usable but images from nice clear and bright daylight photos are so over sharpened and over processed they end up looking totally un-natural and un-realistic. My lg V30 using the gcam app took far better images.

I know I can shoot in RAW but if I wanted this kind of output from a shot I would take one of my cameras.

I really don`t get the hype regarding the images from the P30 pro..

I am really very disappointed..
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] tonyaross:
I now increasingly think that the hype is created by people who know nothing about serious photography. They are happy with just everyday touristy type of photos. For that, HW P30 Pro does an excellent job. But if you want to do serious photography, the P30 Pro isn't bad, but not nearly close to that most of the hype reviews try to sell you.
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] felipy2k:
My Night mode seems not working ... I Saw ppl taking pictures in pitch Black and having a good results ...Mine after the 5 seconds still damn dark! Any advices ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] Maximus41:
It needs light in dark mode, not much but it does need light from somewhere. This is one area that I think the camera is OK..

I will be selling my P30 Pro.. Now I realise why Huawei got caught using images from SLR camera and trying to pass them off for images from their phones.. My phone will be up for sale and will not buy another one off their products again.
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] robbieismyname:
Mine is the same. I thought that's how it is. I was told it needs a bit of light to see night picture
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] Maximus41:

The second image is converted from a .DNG file and the first is a .jpg straight from the camera in auto mode without AI switched on.

Take no notice of the overall brightness as actually the .dng file is very accurate to the lighting at the time whereas the .jpg has obviously been brightened up via processing as both were same exposure settings.

The details in the grass, fence, string on the goal and clothing is still there in the .dng files and totally smeared in the .jpg file.. The processing is what ruins this camera on this phone.. The lenses actually seem really very sharp as Leica lenses are known for.. such a shame

How the hell do i upload full size images to a post on here

??
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] tonyaross:
I'm increasingly disappointed by the camera. I shot two pics yesterday, aimed at the same object, at the same distance, and using the same settings (manually), one with my Canon DSLR, 16MP, and the other with my phone, at 40 MP. As I zoom in, the pic shot by the phone loses much of the details and becomes very blurry, whereas the one with Canon DSLR retains its original sharpness at the same degree of zoom. So, a 16 MP camera is much better than the 40 MP camera? If this is the case, what's the point of labeling your camera 40 MP, if it doesn't do the job of a 40 MP? I now seriously doubt that the phone camera is IN FACT 40 MP.
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] Maximus41:
Megapixels mean absolutely nothing when too many are jammed onto a tiny sensor.. that`s where most of the 'noise' comes from.

So many company's overdo the noise suppression with software.. Water colour effect and detail-less images.. Sharpening doesn't improve things after this either...

I personally think the P30 pro camera and software is a waste of Leica glass.. My 2 year old LG V30 wipes the floor with detail in the images compared to the P30 pro.. I`m sad to say
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] Hybrid Soldier:
Our only hope is to someone develop a GCam for P30 PRO... What I think that's impossible right now.
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] Maximus41:
Yes, that would be great.. I cant fault it on my LG V30...
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] felipy2k:
Is there any way to make the wide angle photo better after the shot like one plus 7 pro does with the distortion?
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] grizzlyspid86:
There are two ways for P30 Pro got less overprocessed images.

1) Turn off Master AI (a must). But on certain scene, the 'sharpening...please hold still' text still appear, means that image stacking is happening (base on auto scene detection). Its increasing overall brightness & dynamic range, but sometimes can results in the oil painting effects. Sure it produce great overall edited images, but less detail when pixel peeping.

2) Go to Pro Mode without touching anything (all settings auto). Somehow on this mode the image stacking text didnt appear, means that it takes better natural photos & details, less overprocessed (maybe no HDR as well), but sometimes the previous method looks better in low light situation.

At least that is my experience.
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] ds78:
I'd like to buy new phone : p30pro or pixel3xl. Which phone is better ( photo )?
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] Maximus41:
I have the P30 pro and if I had the choice again knowing what I know I would go the pixel route..
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] killuminati206:
Ive had the p30 pro going on two weeks now. I cant complain about photo quality much. In door shots could be better, other then that its a great phone with good pics overall. Then again i didnt buy just for the camera, battery life is most important to me. ITs a good versatile shooter .
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] fitness33:
Hi. Sometimes i am noticing some weird color problems of the ultra wide lens of my P30 pro. For example look at the upper right corner of the photo i submit.

Has anyone else noticed something similar?

https://ibb.co/T40rMbR

https://ibb.co/JvZFcjn

I post the same photo with the normal and the ultra wide lens.
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] Maximus41:
I have the same from my P30 Pro but more worrying is the smearing of detail I'm getting as with your pics..
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] fitness33:
Thanks for the reply Maximus. You think it's a hardware problem or a software related problem?
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] Maximus41:
To be honest I'm not sure but wouldn't surprise me if they are trying to fix a hardware problem with software and over processing. Pics look OK on a phone screen but that's about it..
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] djingonthenet:
Having sold my Mate 20 Pro (very hit and miss on photos) I've taken a chance with the P30 pro, again some shots are great others not so. I think you need to take several of the same shot to get some quality results. Here's a few that I took over the weekend. Overall I'd say that the P30 pro take better photos than the Mate 20 Pro, they tend to be less soft/out of focus which maybe down to the lack of OIS, on the Mate, and my shaky hands!
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] Sylar82:
i think if i use HDR mod the photo look more beautiful and color more saturated the sky color look right the green color look great
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] jauhari:
Why Huawei Separate HDR Mode? and didn't integrated on the main camera.. another clues. why when shot on human the quality didnt good
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] Hybrid Soldier:
Anyone with the latest updated .185? It's 4GB... Must be something big in camera improvements...
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] benbird7:
Nice photos, especially of the moon which is the only zoom one. The M20P has OIS, I have been toying with the idea of upgrading to the P30P but I am going to wait for the M30P later in the year.

I like the idea of the extra zoom, but not at the compromise of that extra £££ when you consider you lose the more secure face ID and stereo speakers.

I think battery would last a little longer on the P30P to but with the M20P supporting fast charging at the same rate I can get it back up to charge in no time.
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] djingonthenet:
Thanks, the camera is better in my opinion and that was the major factor in my decision to swap. M20P only has OIS on the 3x optical zoom lens not the primary, which surprised me when I found out. Only reason that I upgraded was I found a way to get it without paying much for it through O2 refresh. Yes there are compromises, screen resolution, stereo sound and the 3d face unlock - first two I can deal with as I'm happy with the P30P, face unlock I don't use on the P30P as the fingerprint sensor is much better than on the M20P. Apart from that there's not a lot of difference. For the moon shot I had to rest my hands on a wall and hold the phone as still as possible :good:
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] madjester67:
Terrible camera

I had a P20 Pro and upgraded ( or so I thought ) to the P30 Pro,below is 2 shots from both phones in night mode.

The P30 has so much Lens flare it's unusable on a night time with bright lights.

Huawei say it's normal
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] felipy2k:
does anyone knows how to get rid of ultra wide lens deformation ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] O_DoC:
Hello,

I have the same configuration, have a p20pro and 'upgraded' to p30pro.

I made some kind of quick 'mirror' tests, like you did.

At first I was really disappointed because : yes the 'same' picture was so blurry and flared as yours.

I cleaned minutely the p30pro lenses and the next picture was the same as the p20pro but with more definition/details when you zoom in.

I'll try again tonight to see if it still the same.

--

When I bought it, and after a few times using it, I already feel that the p30pro is way more dust, finger prints, etc...catching device than the p20pro.

And, it's also more slippy in the hand, on the couch, desk, etc...when 'naked'.

--

My though is the lenses glass is also need to be cleaned with a soft tissue before taking pictures.

Tell me if it worked for you.

I'm really interesting in that behaviour, because the camera is an important feature for me too.

Cheers

Some pictures that I took:
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] Shp30:
Hi, was testing the p30 Pro night mode in a dark room. On 1x zoom the picture looked alright, but on higher zoom levels, the amount of light captured was little to none. Like wise on wide angle in night mode

Also, was trying out video in the dark. On 1x zoom could see some details. When zoomed or used wide angle, only see pitch black.

Is this normal?
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] Guerrick:
Hi,

I believe this is normal as when you're are using the 1x zoom, the smartphone uses pixel binning to capture more light. When you zoom in further, it's a software combination of the image of the other optics. This link explains it well: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14165/the-huawei-p30-p30-pro-reviews-photography-enhanced/6

[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] P30pro:
Just waiting for either ROOT or Huawei to unlock the Camera2.API so we can use filmic pro, LOG capturing and higher bitrates will improve the video quality to no end. Yet, Huawei ignore all requests for the C2.API and have done for years.

Video zoom issue

Guys, I recently baught P30 pro. I faced a peculiar problem. When l am taking a video in wide mode and then use the zoom button, first press takes it to 1x (from 0.6x of wide), second press takes it to 5x and third press takes it to 10x. When I press the button again it takes it back to wide angle. But between switch from 10x to wide there is an instant of very disturbed and pixelated video before wide angle takes over. This is not there between any other zoom switching (0.6x to 1x, 1x to 5x, 5x to 10x). Anybody facing the same issue?
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] 1noob:
Don't press, slide ;)
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] rahul_spjimr:
Problem with sliding is between 1x and 5x which is a digital zoom and gets heavily pixelated. I also noticed that the problem happens when I jump from 10x to wide. Not from 10x to 1x.
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] mangaboy190:
What do guys think of the 1080p 60 fps quality?

For me, I find it worse!

It loses the details and textures when on this mode. It's even worse when in low light situation.

In fact, Huawei has done a great job in bringing up few additional features and optimizing the camera on P30 pro. Wide angle dual window, 50X zoom are just couple of additions.

https://youtu.be/hma0DC1aMsA
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] andyzarins:
I had a Google pixel 2xl before switching to the p30 pro. Before that I had either nexus phones or Samsung Galaxy phones. I have a strong preference for stock android Vs manufacturers muddling with android. After messing about with the p30 for s couple of hours I have a fairly close to stock experience :) So it is possible to get a google stock feel Vs EMUI. I moved away from pixel as allot of the promised features such as call screening have still to make it to the UK. Plus the notch on the pixel 3 XL is far to big. Could not bring my self to purchase it.. yuck. Tear drop is just about bearable especially when using dark theame which I think was switched on in the power settings.

So you can get an android stock feel from the Huawei and this is from someone who used to be a dedicated nexus / pixel boy. I wish manufacturers would concentrate on getting the hardware correct Vs messing with the software.

The camera app itself looks a little dated from the vs the pixel. I prefer Google's camera app. However as soon as you use the zoom function wow. The UI is not important. The feature is a game changer for a phone. Massive step forward and it is so easy to use.
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] beardybuck:
How near to stock?

Hi just curious as to what you used to get the P30 Pro as near to stock as you could?

I am using Nova Launcher on a Oneplus 3T with Google Contacts and Dialer installed (non root) and it's great, but due an upgrade.Do you miss the double press power button to open the camera?

And is it possible to use normal OSD navigation buttons?
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] Sledge007:
You can double tap the volume down button and it opens the camera (default is take a picture).
[Huawei P30 Pro Real Life Review] wajeehuzkhan:
Coming from Note 8 running OneUI I can certainly say that Samsung with one UI is much more refined and easy to use as compared to EMIUI 9.1.0. One hand usage of the phone isn't so great as most of the options are still located at the top of the screen, unlike one UI. and sadly even the camera UI isnt as refined as the one UI, of course the quality of p30 pro camera is beyond a match. Also there is a weird bug no matter how many times I disable an app like gmail or drive or any other google service if there is any update the app will pop up on my home screen once again.

resolution of the camera

Hello everyone

I bought a Huawei P30 pro 3 days ago and I wonder why with a 40MP camera we can not take pictures in 16: 9 when holding the phone horizontally

We only have 40MP in 4:3

the full screen format is only available with 6MP

today all screens are 16: 9, if we look at our pictures on the TV we would like to display them in full screen and not with black stripes on each side

I don't understand
