How to Use the Camera on the Huawei P20

Huawei P20

The Huawei P20 is not just for socialising with loved ones and colleagues, but also for mobile photography. The device has a good camera to capture important moments in life. And to get quality pictures, you need to use the camera on the Huawei P20 properly.

Features of the Camera app

For mobile photography and video on any Android smartphone, including the Huawei P20, the standard Camera app is used. Its icon is located on the home screen, and after tapping on it you'll be taken to the camera control interface.

Standard camera mode

After launching the app, you are in automatic mode. It may be called "Auto" or "Photo". This mode is designed to create photos with the optimum balance of all settings so that they have good clarity and colour reproduction. A photo is created by pressing the circular shutter button.

Normally, the Huawei P20's camera focuses well on the subject itself. But if the focus leaves much to be desired, you can force focus on the desired subject by tapping on the smartphone screen.

At the top of the screen you will see additional options that may come in handy when taking pictures. In particular, you can activate HDR for more accurate colour reproduction of overly bright and dark areas of the frame, apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) effects or activate the flash, for example.

To zoom in on a picture, you can use the zoom function. Move your fingers from the centre of the screen to the edges and the interface displays a handy bar that allows you to adjust the degree of zoom.

Switching to a front camera

You can shoot not only with the main camera but also with the front camera. To switch to the front lens, press the arrow circle button to the right of the shutter button. Here you can also adjust the front camera for optimum shooting by selecting additional effects or activating AI.

Switching between modes

The Huawei P20's camera not only helps you capture photos, but also videos. Use the menu above the shutter button to switch between shooting modes. Here are the main modes, the number of which depends directly on the firmware version of your phone.

For example, you can switch to 'Night' mode to make your pictures brighter in the evening, or to 'Portrait' mode to create pictures with a blurred background effect (bokeh). A tap on the Video tab takes you to the Video window. Simply press the red Rec button to start recording.

On the left you can see the 'Pro' section, which contains options for manual adjustment for photos. Here, the user adjusts settings such as white balance, image focus, ISO and more.

Switching between lenses

If your version of the Huawei P20 has more than one camera, you can switch between the rear and front lenses. For example, to switch to the wide-angle module, you need to tap on the 0.6X mug.

If you want to switch to macro mode, you'll have to go to an extra menu, accessed by pressing the three-bar button.

Here you will find the "Macro" mode and other settings such as horizon line and grid activation. This window also provides a button to switch to settings mode.

Settings

In the settings you can switch the watermark on or off, adjust the image quality and set hotkeys for quick snapshots.

This section is very large, so don't be lazy to study it carefully to make your Huawei P20 photos and videos as eye-catching as possible.
