[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] XDARoni:
The OPPO Find X5 Pro comes with some very impressive cameras. While you will be able to capture amazing photos right out of the box, there are a few extra things that you can do to take full advantage of the photography and video features on this phone. In this thread I am going to share some of the best camera tips and tricks that I've learned from my time using this phone.

Camera specs:

Rear:

50MP Main Camera: f/1.7; FOV 80°; 1G6P lens

50MP Ultra-wide Angle Camera: f/2.2; FOV 112°; 7P lens

13MP Telephoto Camera: f/2.4; FOV 45°; 5P lens

Front:

32MP Front Camera: f/2.4; FOV 90°; lens: 5P

Shoot in MOVIE Mode​

When searching through the different camera modes, you might come across MOVIE. This mode offers much more than just a different aspect ratio. This mode is designed with professional filming tools and camera controls. If you intend on editing your footage before posting it, this is a great camera mode for you.

On the right side of the preview window, you'll see the manual controls for iso, f-stop, zoom, focus, and white balance. These controls are super easy to navigate and do not interfere with getting your shot.

The left side has important features that will come into play in your post editing session. LOG will give your footage greater dynamic range, for better color grading in post. HDR gives your footage better contrast and enhanced colors. Try shooting with these toggled on so you can have more freedom in your editing environment.

Change Lenses in PRO Mode​

With many phones, the PRO mode is limited to one lens, and at first glance you might think that this is also the case on the OPPO Find X5 Pro. However, you can toggle through all three of the rear camera lenses in PRO mode by selecting the tree icon in the top menu.

Choose between wide-angle/macro, standard, and telephoto. With each lens, you still retain the full set of pro controls, so you can get your shot looking exactly how you want it to. It's also worth noting that all of these lenses are compatible with RAW and RAW PLUS photography.

Enable 10-bit color Mode​

10-bit photos can be captured in both PHOTO and NIGHT mode. You can enable this feature in the settings menu. Your 10-bit photos will retain more color data that can be viewed on compatible devices and apps that support it. These image files are saved in the .HEIF format, which is compatible with the default ColorOS photo editor. So if you are mostly editing and viewing your photos on your OPPO Find X5 Pro, then I highly recommend turning this feature on.

If you want to share your .HEIF photo in an app that is not supported (like Discord, Snapshot, Twitter etc.) Then you can easily convert the file in the photos app. Go to Photos > settings, then enable "Convert HEIF photos for sharing".

Manually Adjust f-stop in VIDEO Mode​

Do you want to create that shallow depth of field look from big DSLR cameras? You can adjust the f-stop in VIDEO mode using the shutter icon. This will create dramatic looking videos with blurred backgrounds, similar to how portrait mode looks with photos. Just keep in mind that this limits your video resolution to 1080, disabling 4k shooting.

There are many other photography tips and tricks to explore on the OPPO Find X5 Pro. Leave a comment with your own suggestions on how users can get the most out of this amazing photography phone.
