All the options of the camera app to take advantage of your Honor 50

The renewed company HONOR already has its first flagship in Spain. But what can HONOR 50 do for you and what are its strengths? We wanted to dive directly into the camera application after the premise of having a 108-megapixel main sensor mounted on a very colorful and round module. Although the interesting thing is not so much in the photographic result, where it fully complies, but in the video options. This is where this smartphone stands out with innovative formats that promise to fill social networks with multicamera videos and other options that we are going to explain here

WHAT'S BEHIND THE DOUBLE RING OF CAMERAS

First, before we dissect the video options that the HONOR 50 offers, let's take a look at the technical side. And it is that the software is as important as the hardware, which collects light and information from the environment. I already mentioned above that the jewel in this photographic crown is the 108 megapixel sensor on the upper bright ring of this curious camera module. A module that, by the way, fits really well in a mobile full of curves like the one on the side of the screen or its shiny back cover with a very striking design. But what interests us here is that 108-megapixel sensor that is also ultra-clear and very versatile to solve situations with low light and that has Artificial Intelligence and the camera app.

But it is important to know that it has three more sensors with different lenses.One of them, 8 megapixels, with an ultra-wide angle lens to capture more space. Another 2-megapixel lens, with a macro lens to capture very close details. And finally, another 2-megapixel sensor focused on capturing depth and getting a good bokeh effect.

And, of course, there's a front selfie camera that's a whopping 32 megapixels and offers plenty of versatility. And it is that the key is not in what all these objectives can achieve individually, but in how to play with them and combine them.

MULTI RECORDING, THE JEWEL IN THE CROWN OF THIS HONOR 50

It is the most striking and different mode of this smartphone. And that is why, as standard, it comes with its own section in the camera application. It consists of using the full capacity of the Snapdragon 778 5G processor and collecting information directly from two of the team's cameras.At once.

SWe just have to go to the mode to activate the camera for selfies and the rear one as standard. However, in the button in the shape of a rectangle with a smiley face on top we can display the rest of the formats. There are several for what we need to do:

• Display the image captured by the selfie camera and the main rear (rear and front)
• Use two of the rear cameras at the same time (wide angle and main)
• Use the picture in picture mode where one camera captures the main scene and a smaller square (that we can move around the scene) another of the cameras, like the selfie.
• Use only one camera (front or rear) but be able to switch between them without cutting the video, like in Instagram stories.

With all this the creative possibilities skyrocket. You can, for example, show yourself running to see your face of effort in part of the video and, at the same time, show the scenario through which you run. You can also feel like a creative movie director and frame a whole scene with the wide angle in one half of the screen and zoom in on some detail in the other half. All this without neglecting situations such as recording someone with the rear camera and putting your face on that person with the picture in picture mode. The limit is only set by your creativity.

And best of all, if you're an ace at recording, you can take advantage of a group of clips or videos to create a more elaborate video in Story modeHere you only have to select the clips and the camera app does everything to put transitions and music. Perfect content to attract attention on your social networks.

MANY MODES AND VERY ACCESSIBLE

But let's get to what we're going to do: the camera application. It is a simple and quite agile tool to move between all the available modes. Just swipe left or right on the carousel that appears just above the fire button. And there are plenty of options beyond the classic photo and video modes.

• Portrait: is the mode where you can get selfies or portraits with bokeh or blur effect. You can activate or deactivate this effect with the button that appears just above the mode, but also tweak the beauty settings.
• Night mode: Ideal for capturing scenes with low light. Artificial Intelligence is responsible for cleaning the image
• Aperture: A photo mode in which you choose the aperture to control the space in focus. The result is a photo taken with a reflex camera, playing with blur.
• More: Lists other modes here that you may not use as much, but are useful for taking advantage of all the hardware and software on this HONOR 50. Remember that you can edit the section to bring to the carousel the ones that interest you the most. They are the following:
  • Professional: where you can modify each specific value like a professional to get the photo you want
  • Panorama: A mode that stitches together shots to create a super stretched photo
  • HDR: in case you need an extra contrast so you don't miss the nuances of the scene
  • Timelapse: A video mode for recording timelapse
  • Watermark: in case you want to leave your stamp on each photo
  • Documents: Very useful for scanning documents from a photo to make them more readable. Almost as if you used a scanner
  • Super Macro: A photo-only mode for sharp detail in scenes and objects up to 4cm away from the camera
  • High Resolution: This is the photo mode in which you take advantage of those 108 megapixels of the camera

And we take from the list two that are the real novelties of this new HONOR 50 compared to what other mobile phones offer today. On the one hand, there is the Story mode, with templates to create videos from different clips with all kinds of transitions and music.And on the other hand, there is the Multi-recording mode In fact, within Multi-recording we find a direct access to Stories to take advantage of everything it has to offer.
