Monochrome on the p9 camera - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

when u take photos with standard mode, can i extract / switch to monochrome without change the mode to monochrome at the setting?
or i have to choose monochrome in order to get the best monochrome photo?
does it take both color and monochrome at the same time?
thanks

You have to choose monochrome mode first, in color mode only color photo is taken.

(Question) Honor View 10 Monochrome Sensor

Hello folks!
I wonder if it is possible to capture videos with the Monochrome Sensor of the View 10 ? I tried a lot, but never got any results. And because i am really bad in coding, maybe one of you has an answer to this problem ? The Monochrome sensor has a really good image quality and if we could use the 20 mPxl of it for Monochrome Videos with bokeh it would be awesome!
I can choose monochrome in camera options. Is it just the monochrome sensor or both?
you can select monochrome in camera. it works well with photo but cannot shoot videos in monochrome.

Depth vs. Bokeh Mode

Can somebody explain the difference between taking a picture in the standard "Photo" or "Pro" mode with Depth turned on vs. taking a picture in Bokeh mode? Is there and advantage of one over the other. Also, does capturing Depth have any effect for editing the RAW files in Lightroom? The camera processes pictures much faster with Depth turned OFF. So what I'd like to know is if there is any point in capturing Depth for regular everyday pictures (scenery, random family pics, etc.) in Photo or Pro mode vs. using Bokeh mode when I want that background blur effect.
I am rather confused by this too. According to the manual Bokeh is if you know you will want to change the focus area after taking the shot and Depth mode is for creating "a sense of depth and perspective". I suspect the depth images contain a lot more information than the Bokeh ones so will give you the potential for more impressive results. I just took test images in both modes of the same scene and actually the Bokeh image was the larger file (11MB versus 6.9MB), but I believe the depth mode data may be heavily compressed.
I have this phone and i am verry happy with this phone.i buy the phone on 15 march
But when i start the phone the first time there was a update.after the update i start the camera but i bever Find the bokeh modus on the camera app.is this function gone after the update ? Sorry my englisch is ferry bad .
Hi, you have to go into the camera app and select Bokeh mode from the list of modes about a quarter of the way up from the bottom (left to Pro). Depth mode is different and is activated from within the camera in Pro mode from the options at the top. Its the item to the right of the "hamburger". Hope that helps!
Thank you ferry much.
I have camera app 91.9.1160.53
And i still cant find bokeh .
I found a newer version of the app and try to install it.
IT was version 91.9.1170.61
When i open the app i can see bokeh.
Butt the app crashes when i choose bokeh.
I removed the update.
Do you Nokia 9 users have the same camera app version ?
Greetings
look at the camera settings and select mode management. Maybe it is switched off there?
I have the same version as you and I see it
If the camera app crashes, you should charge the battery. It's a known bug.
Oke thanks ,gonna try IT out
This is how mode management looks like

The difference is that Bokeh Mode puts the fake bokeh into the RAW file and you cant undo it anymore, right?
The biggest difference is... Don't use Bokeh, just enable Depth and set your focus manually. Bokeh is basically just a quick point-and-shoot version that tries to identify the target. Manual depth editing allows full control over it after the picture is taken. Just use the Depth editing.

This , just use Depth, works much better.
Bokeh mode on Nokia 9 is horrendous most of the time, it blurs some parts and leaves other parts unblurred (seems like the help Google provided did NOT include machine learning blurring lol).

Smart Lens Selection

How does the "smart lens selection" feature work? Can someone tell me how to use the dual camera and for the best pics? I am new to dual camera setup.
about dual camera you have manual option in stock camera app,when you select low light (mode) that will turn your 20mpx camera,otherwise when you shoot with regular (mode ) it will shoot with 12 mpx cam .for best pics you can go to manual mode and set iso,focus.. by your decision whst is best.
About smart lens i just use typing on text what i want to highlight.

Discussion 40MP vs 10MP photos

Hi guys,
I have just got the phone on Monday and I noticed that default setting for the camera is to take photos in 10 megapixels mode.
Is there any advantage of 10mp over 40mp mode that is available? What are differences?
I personally noticed that 40MP photos are darker and I need to hold my phone more steady than when taking them in 10MP resolution.
I attached 2 identical photos. The darker one is 10MP, the brighter one, little more blurry is 40MP
40MP option does not allow you to zoom. Only 1x

No real benefit. It uses pixel binning to downscale from 40mp to 10mp so essentially they end up the same quality
For quick snap or share I use the default Photo mode with 10 MP. If the photo will be used for web or print - then I use PRO mode + RAW format. RAW image from the main sensor is always is 40 MP - It does not depend on the resolution you choose.
RAW image + Lightroom edit + export is the best option for crisp and great quality photos.

That's true. If you're planning on shooting raw and editing yourself this is an instance where 40mp makes much more sense.
See men basically in well lit condition 10mp will take 9ver exposed pictures and 10 mp is for darker scenarios and 40mps use in day-time
Uooer image shot on 10mp u can see blue floor and red
Picture below is well balanced
I use 40 mp in when there is enough light, i prefer it for the more natural color and because I find 10mp over exposed
And I use 10 mp in low light condition

Question B+W PHOTOS

How do I take B+W photos but not with the filters ?
Just use a photo editor and reduce saturation to zero.
Also there are many camera apps on the store that take B&W photos so you can preview before taking the shot

Not possible as it is limited by hardware. The sensors on the s21 ultra has a physical color filter array on them which helps them to capture RGB spectrum.
So unless you are talented enough to remove this RGB filter and replace it with a monochrome filter, you will have to use software simulation to enjoy b&w photos.
When it records the image it records the gray scale for each channel, the b&w image is already there. Simply edit/save with saturation at zero.
That's how I set up the proper contrast and black level, then bring up the saturation when editing sometimes.
Or shoot in RAW mode and post edit that image as you have all the raw sensor data. I doubt you'll see much if any difference...
This isn't rocket science.
