How to Take terrific travel photos with honor 8X

earlier this year, on our second backpacking trip around Japan’s Kansai Region, I discovered something peculiar. We were already Day 4 into our journey, but I was yet to take my DSLR video camera out of my bag.

As a travel blogger, I had always relied on my bulky video camera and even bulkier lenses wherever I go. Over the years, however, the number of times I use it has been diminishing significantly. Lately, I find myself just whipping out my smartphone whenever I need to capture a place or a moment in a photo. Sure, video camera phones don’t have the same quality of a DSLR, but their photography game has been growing strong over the past several years, reaching a level of elegance that is seriously giving DSLRs a run for their money.

We don’t consider ourselves photographers. We’re travelers who simply like to take pictures along the way, so alongside video camera features, we also consider the handiness, benefit and flexibility of the gadgets we own.

Huawei’s sub brand honor sent us a unit of honor 8X and we had been using it over the past week. So far, here are some of its essential features that frequent travelers and casual photo enthusiasts might be interested in. note that these are just our initial thoughts. We’ll update this post when we discover much more as we use it.

Take advantage of its AI camera.

Of course, the first thing we did was tinker with the camera. honor 8X has dual-lens20M + 2M, F/1.8 aperture rear camera, but the feature that gets the most attention is the AI (artificial intelligence) technology. It can discover over 500 various scenarios and adjust the video camera settings accordingly so you don’t have to take too much time doing it yourself.

We’ve been playing with this feature for days, and yes, it works many of the time especially in situations wherein you want the colors to pop. You should keep a close eye on the saturation though because it can be extra at times. The good news is, if the resulting photo isn’t your cup of tea, you can easily revert to the original image, which it keeps. You just need to turn it off. It will work even after you take the image.

Here are some unedited photos with AI on and off.

Notice how the second picture is much more vibrant, making this seafood paella much more appetizing. When we took this photo, the AI automatically detected that we’re taking a picture of food. A food icon appeared at the bottom of the screen. It’s just one of the 22 categories and 500 scenarios that this AI can recognize.
Even when the subject is in the shade or against the light, colors still pop with AI on. As we made the frame, the phone automatically detected that I’m shooting something with blue skies. What it did is it made the sky and the pool bluer. notice how the sky in the first picture is a bit pale, while it looks bluer and sunnier in the second pic. The details of the pool are also much more visible. even the greens are brighter.
For hazy scenes, the AI also makes the picture much more alive. The colors pop and the contrast is higher, making the subject stand out. The AI can turn an otherwise gloomy photo into something much more energetic.

Apply broad Aperture for close-up shots.

One thing I find myself using much more typically is broad Aperture. video camera phones by default try to keep all the elements within the frame in focus, which isn’t a good idea if you want to drive the viewer’s attention to only a particular spot. but what the honor 8X has is an adjustable aperture effect, which you can apply even after taking the shot. This allows you to change which parts and how much of the picture is in and out of focus. here are some unedited pics taken using the broad Aperture effect.

In the first pic, the building in the background competes with the subject. In the second pic, the building fades, drawing your attention to the flowers alone. You can adjust how blurry you want the background to be.
Mesmo aqui. The default shot puts everything in focus, even the writings on the paper place mat. The top photo makes the food pop a little bit more.
It also works for portraits. and honor 8x takes it to another level by using the same AI technology. It has 3D portrait lighting, which enables beautification and bokeh effects for a much more creative shot. It makes lighting effects that match your surroundings.

Explore other shooting modes

With other smartphones, some shooting modes can only be utilized with a third party app, but with honor 8X, these are all built-in. The night Mode, in particular, is fascinating. The AI technology also reduces blurring when taking pics in low-light conditions. even when my hands were shaky, it’s still able to produce a sharp image through a multi-frame stabilization technology. but of course, just because it has that power doesn’t imply you ought to relocation while taking a photo. You still have to try to do your part and be stable for best results.

OOs modos de tiro incluem HDR, Panorama e Retrato.

Use o modo Pro para ajustar as configurações da câmera de vídeo manualmente.

Há também um modo Pro. Há momentos em que nenhum dos modos Preset não pode capturar a melhor configuração ou efeito. Esse recurso permitirá que você ajuste as configurações manualmente, incluindo a velocidade do obturador, ISO, abertura e balanço de branco.

Isso também é ideal para aqueles que estão confiantes com suas habilidades de fotógrafos e não dependem dos modos Preset.

Outras características

Aqui estão outros recursos que não são da câmera nos quais você também pode estar interessado.

Vida de bateria longa. Este telefone se orgulha da bateria com uma capacidade de 3750mAh, que pode durar mais de um dia com uma única carga. Para os viajantes, esse é um ativo essencial, porque carregar continuamente seu telefone ou conectá -lo a um banco de powerbank pode ser incômodo e contraproducente. Diz -se que o Honor 8X está equipado com uma tecnologia inteligente de economia de energia que aumenta a duração da bateria em 33% mais.

Grande capacidade de armazenamento de arquivos. O Honor 8x tem ROM de 128 GB/64 GB, o que oferece muito espaço para milhares de fotos de viagem. Além disso, também suporta um cartão microSD expansível de até 400 GB, o que implica que ele pode acomodar muito mais do que nunca. Se você gosta de fazer vídeos na estrada, vale a pena investigar.

Grande tela de 6,5 polegadas. O Honor 8X possui uma tela de visualização completa de 6,5 polegadas 2.0 e uma proporção de 19,5: 9, que fica próxima da proporção do cinema. Ter uma tela grande e clara também garante os detalhes do que está tentando capturar e ter uma boa compreensão dos controles da câmera de vídeo.

Já se passaram apenas alguns dias e ainda estamos tentando explorar os outros recursos deste telefone. Atualizaremos esta postagem à medida que descobrimos muito mais coisas que achamos ser úteis para viajantes como nós, então volte de vez em quando!
