Camera Tips

AI enhanced, Intelligent Photo Scene

AI enhanced can automatically identify your current photography scene and intelligently

adjust the colour and brightness of the photo, so you don't need to repeatedly adjust your

camera for the perfect shot.

AI enhanced is a preset camera feature on your device that intelligently identies your

current photography scene and automatically adjusts the colour and brightness of your photo

to help you achieve better eects.

Identication

Exciting Features

AI enhanced provides you with the following features:

• Intelligently identies photographing scenes and improves photo eects: AI enhanced

supports multiple scenes, such as the stage, beach, blue sky, greenery, and text scenes. After

smart identication, AI enhanced automatically adjusts the colour and brightness of the

camera and recommends an optimal mode (such as the portrait, greenery, or text mode) to

improve photo eects.

• Enable AI enhanced to automatically congure and adjust camera settings: When you

open the camera and enter Standard camera mode, touch

to enable AI enhanced as

required. Once enabled, this feature will intelligently identify the photography scene, which

saves you the trouble of repeated manual adjustments.

• AI enhanced is only available when you take photos using the rear camera.

• AI enhanced is automatically disabled when you switch to Portrait mode, Wide

aperture mode, or Moving picture mode.

Use Portrait Mode to Shoot Like a Pro

Go to Camera > Portrait, adjust the following settings, then touch to take a portrait.

• Blur and lighting eects: Touch the icon in the viewnder and select a blur or lighting

eect.

A light source (such as a neon or street light) in a relatively well-lit background will

contribute to better results. Taking photos at long distance will reduce the eect.

• Beauty eect: Touch in the viewnder and drag the slider to adjust beauty settings. A

larger value will produce a more distinct beauty eect.

To disable the beauty eect, touch the icon in the viewnder and drag each setting

to its lowest value.

Use Panorama Mode to Take Panoramic Photos

Panoramas provide a wider viewing angle than ordinary photos, letting you take sweeping

landscape shots.

To capture a panorama shot, the camera takes multiple photos of objects within our visual

eld and stitches them together into a single photo.

When taking a panorama, nd a wide, open space that is some distance away from the

subject and try to avoid backgrounds that are all in one colour.

1 Go to Camera > More > Panorama.

2 Touch at the bottom of the screen to congure the shooting direction.

3 Hold your Phone steady, and then touch to start shooting. Slowly move the Phone in

the direction indicated, holding the device steady and ensuring that the arrow stays level with the centre line.

Screen Lock and Unlock

Set a Lock Screen Password to Protect Your Privacy

Your Phone stores a lot of sensitive information, such as personal photos, contact

information, banking apps (for example, Alipay). Set a lock screen password so that a

password is required each time you unlock your Phone. A lock screen password helps to

protect your private information if your Phone is lost or accessed by an unauthorised user.

Set a lock screen password: Open

Settings, go to Security & privacy > Lock screen

• Regular password prompts help you to remember your password: If you have not

entered your screen lock password for 3 days, the system will require that you enter

the password to unlock your device.

Lock the Screen to Quickly Secure Your Phone

If you don't use your Phone for a set period of time, the screen will turn o and lock. As long

as the screen stays on, you can use your Phone without needing to unlock the screen. Lock
