Portrait Mode issues? - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

Like we already know, Portrait Mode there are an option on the Bokeh, but why Never Success on me?
How to fix this?

The results still the same as standard Portrait Mode

Any update about this issues?

My experience is that portrait mode works when it can find a face looking at the camera. The software seems to get confused on the subject when that isn't present. Your two examples are profiles, which I suspect is the problem.
For these shots, use aperture mode.

That I mean the effect, why doesn't work?

What effect do you mean? Portrait mode is meant to be used with a proper distance from the subject and its background for isolation

I'm not following what you mean either. Aperture mode does the same effect with subject isolation but when a face is not present. Portrait mode is looking for a face because it does a beauty effect as well as background blur. Aperture mode is the same effect. Try it at a low number and you'll see.

I think he means the bokeh "lights" effect. You need little lights behind the subject to create that effect. The different bokeh effects on portrait mode just change what shape the lights will be.

[TIP] Use this setting for Noise-free images!

I've come across a lot of people complaining about the camera not giving out noise-free images like it's supposed to. The trick is to use manual mode. I agree, if you use Superior Auto mode, it's a miss most of the times, and when it does work, it gives a purple-ish tint at the corners.
However, If you use manual mode and select the SCENE to NIGHT, the images come out amazing and noise-free!
[DO NOT JUDGE THE IMAGE BY WHAT THE VIEWFINDER SHOWS YOU. A lot of things happen when you press the shutter button. The viewfinder simply goes red for making it easy to focus. The final image in the gallery is a hundred times better]
The Scene modes are one of the most commonly ignored settings.
I hope this helps!

Wow you're right it works! I guess I'll use this for anything less than perfect lighting lol

Where do you see Scene modes?
Edit: Found it. I was on 20 MP - Had to go down to 8 MB 16:9
I only found out yesterday that when in manual mode if you switch to 8mp you get a lot more options to play around with, I also found that night scenes give great images.

Camera always takes HDR Pictures in Photo mode

I noticed that the Camera always takes HDR photos l, when the Camera app uses the default 'Photo' mode. I alwqys have to switch to 'Pro' when i don't want to use HDR.
You can clearly see the difference, when taking Photos of landscapes with clouds.
There is no way to turn it off, but why?
Did someone also noticed this behavior?

You can take non hdr photos. Just take focus at the darker point and it won't use hdr to take a picture.
So why is there a special hdr mode, when it takes hdr pictures by default? I don't get it

i agree its a bad move on Huawei's part.
The HDR effect is too strong on a normal photo.
i think of it as:
Pro = no hdr
Normal Photo = hdr enabled to some extent depending on the dynamic range of the photo ( i.e. if its all a similar brightness then the HDR is very minimal - but if there are very dark and very lights areas it will be a bigger effect )
HDR mode = hyper-real HDR mode

Is Master AI off?

Sure
I find the HDR function excellent and have no reason to ever turn it off. But you're right. For those who want it off, they should provide a no HDR option. The dedicated HDR mode under the 'more' tab should be rebranded as HDR Plus of something.
Yes, I have master AI disabled and I still get to keep the HDR function without the silly suggestions. I really like that.

Can the aperture be fixed wide open at f1.5 using adb or anything else?

Hey guys possibly a very unusual question for ya but here goes. I would love to be able to fix the aperture at f1.5 in auto mode. I know this is a "feature" to have an adjustable aperture, but I just like the look so much more when the aperture is wide open. It's a little softer and the depth of field looks much better in my opinion. I know it's sharper stopped down, but I just don't dig it. So I know you can shoot at 1.5 in pro mode, my issue is that you have no control over aperture in auto mode and sometimes I'd like to use auto HDR, which they have no option for in pro mode So yeah that's my question! Let me know if you have any ideas

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).

Question HDR not activating despite being turned on (on May update)

Hello,
I noticed that certain photos no longer seem to have any HDR applied. Is it when using certain lenses?
I'll see shots that have one part underexposed/too dark. Or, other shots will have blown out highlights too bright. That didn't happen before, because the phone would automatically apply HDR to get good exposure on the bright and dark spots.
Attached is the latest example, where the dark parts of the lighthouse are underexposed, because the camera set the exposure based on the bright clouds.
Anyone else notice that HDR never kicks in? What settings could cause this?
I'm running the Good Lock add-on called "Camera Assistant" so I wonder if that is interfering with HDR? The settings for Camera Assistant are turned off for Picture Softening and Auto lens switching, but I'm not sure why that would prevent auto HDR from kicking on?
In my Samsung camera app, the setting for "Auto HDR" is turned on.
For comparison, I've attached a wide-lens photo showing a more accurate exposure of the same lighthouse. I'm not sure why the normal 1x shot has proper exposure for the lighthouse, but the telephoto shot underexposes the lighthouse? Why didn't the telephoto use HDR like it normally would in earlier versions of the software?
