Huawei Mate 20 Pro: setting the camera - the best tips

You can manually adjust the camera of your Huawei Mate 20 Pro to get even more out of it. With simple tricks you can create more beautiful pictures.

This is how you set the camera of your Huawei Mate 20 Pro optimally

The Leica triple camera of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is impressive: the main lens with 40 megapixels is joined by a 20 megapixel ultra-wide angle lens and an 8 megapixel telephoto lens. A "dual-tone flash", which can adjust the color temperature, ensures the correct exposure. But you can get even more out of the flagship smartphone.

• Switch off AI: Artificial intelligence lets the smartphone recognize what it is photographing. However, this can lead to greatly changed images. If you switch this function off, the images usually appear more natural.
• Switch off HDR: The factory settings include the HDR quality of the images. If these seem too saturated to you, you can also switch this off.
• Use the main camera completely: By default, the camera is not set to the full 40 megapixels. You select the maximum resolution in the settings.
• Activate night mode: Especially in low light and in the dark, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro can shine. In this mode, several pictures are taken and put together at the same time. So you don't lose too many details due to the poor lighting conditions.

The best features of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro camera

In addition, the camera has countless functions. We will explain some special features to you in more detail.

• Monochrome: Use this function to shoot black and white pictures. These often look more professional.
• 360-degree photos: In the settings you can set the panorama function. There are three modes here.
• Super Macro: With this function you can approach the object within a few centimeters and take so-called macro shots. The five times zoom can also be used here.
• Pro mode: Here you can manually adjust some settings yourself to get the best out of your motifs. Set the ISO or exposure compensation. White balance and shutter speed can also be adjusted.
• Use RAW: Activate the raw data format in order to save images for post processing unaffected. However, make sure that file sizes of up to 100 MB are possible.
