Master AI, Intelligent Photo Scene dentific tion
Master AI can automatically identify your current photography scene and intelligently adjust the color and brightness of the photo, so you don't need to repeatedly adjust your camera for the perfect shot.
Master AI is a preset camera feature on your Phone that intelligently identifies your current photography scene and automatically adjusts the color and brightness of your photo to help you achieve better effects.
Master AI provides you with the following features:
• Intelligently identifies photographing scenes and improves photo effects: Master AI supports multiple scenes, such as the stage, beach, blue sky, greenery, and text scenes. After smart identification, Master AI automatically adjusts the color and brightness of the camera and recommends an optimal mode (such as the portrait, greenery, or text mode) to improve photo effects.
• Enable Master AI to automatically configure and adjust camera settings: When you open the
camera and enter Standard camera mode, touch to enable Master AI as required. Once enabled, this feature will intelligently identify the photography scene, which saves you the trouble of repeated manual adjustments.

•When you set the color mode to Vivid, the identification of the following photography scenes is not supported: blue sky, greenery, flowers, beach, snow, and autumn leaves. For other scenes, Master AI is still available.
