Mate 9 HDR camera mode - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

I recently switched to the Mate 9 from the Nexus 6P, whose HDR camera mode that I loved. I am finding that the Mate 9's HDR mode versus the auto camera mode show little to no difference in the image. I have to be doing something wrong, but I don't know what. I accidentally stumbled upon the screen double tap method to get a highlights icon and also the screen long press method of getting an exposure compensation slider, but neither of these are achieving the results I am used to. Can anyone explain how to properly use the Mate 9's HDR mode? Thanks.

There is no specific HDR settings, infact all Huawei phones till now lack HDR function.

Unusable portrait mode on MIUI 10 Pie

Hi I am not aware whether you all are facing this issue. Portrait mode on Miui 10 Pie automatically uses the Telephoto, or the secondary lens by default and there is no way to change this. As a result the viewfinder automatically zooms the photo 1.5 to 2x and it becomes literally a mess of a portrait photo. I am wondering why is no one raising this issue. The camera sucks now. Does anyone have a workaround??

Where did go image stabilization option?

Hello there,
I am using stock EMUI 9 for few weeks. I just recently noticed there is missing option for image stabilization for video. On EMUI 8 it was available for 720p and for [email protected] as well. Now it's gone.
Could someone confirm it is enabled by default now? Did someone make a comparison?
I think you are right and the stabilisation is enabled by default. I tried a quick comparison and you can clearly see it on display how it struggles in low light conditions.

Request to any Mate 30 owner

There was an option in camera app on my previous Samsung Galaxy S8+, and it appears it's an option with Huawei's Mate 20 series, that allows the camera to only record slow-mo video when motion is detected.
However, this 'only record when motion detected' slow-mo option is missing on my P30 Pro.
Can anyone with a Mate 30-series phone let me know if Huawei put it back in?
EDIT: Never mind. Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps. Here's what I captured:

Question Strange post processing bug when zooming on stock camera

Has anyone else also noticed photos come out with weird, massively boosted brightness and everything when taken with 2x zoom or higher on stock camera? Strange thing is even at 1.9x zoom everything is fine but 2x and beyond the photo is basically ruined because of this. Very annoying.
HDR and other enhancements are turned off, yet this occurs.
Doesn't happen on GCam. Any idea/solutions? Thanks
Tried here. No issue. And 2x zoom photo from stock cam was better than GCam 8.3 for me.
Didi you activate HDR and IA options in stock cam?
Yes they're all deactivated. No problem upto 1.9x zoom, but as soon as 2x zoom is engaged, there's a sudden although small change on viewfinder white balance. And final photos look extremely bright and noisy compared to 1.9x and below, as if some weird filter is put on. I've downgraded the camera but still happens.
Btw, bootloader is unlocked, not sure if that's got anything to do with it.
Its interesting if you don't have this problem. What's ur software channel and build number? Thanks
Without this bug, you'll generally get better zoomed images on stock camera because it'll use 64mp crop instead of only 16mp recognized by GCam. But this bug ruins it.
Unzoomed though, GCam's HDR+ is still the best.
Just discovered this thread.
Yes, I have the same problem. But it looks like the effect is not the same everytime. Maybe depending on light (indoors vs. outdoors)?
I noticed it happens when i zoom in in worse scenes. It could be that the automatic camera mode is overcompensating by cranking the iso way too high. Have you tried using the pro camera mode?

Yes, but I don't think pro mode uses 64mp crop like auto mode, just a crop of 16mp, which doesn't have much detail that's required during zoom. Also it's annoying trying to switch to pro mode everytime.

Filmic pro

I`m havingf trouble with filmic pro, and it has recurred recently. I have Iphone 11. Even if everything is locked, Iso/aperture, shutter and WB, the footage appears as at least tone of the functions are in auto mode. When something is crossing in front of the camera, I see a slighly change en apperture/wb, even if they are all locked. I have done test, and i can`t get rid of this?
