In indoor scenes, it is able to accurately bring out the colors of the light, with softer colors, giving a comfortable visual experience without harshness, and we are able to casually take photos that are both true to life and have a good look and feel.
In a nighttime scene with mixed lighting, the Honor Magic6 Ultimate does an excellent job of suppressing noise generated by high ISO.
And we moved quickly from the extremely dark environment to the near bright objects, Honor is almost with the pendulum, avoiding the phenomenon of whitening caused by overexposure, giving the most direct feeling that there is no particularly large algorithms and smearing traces, and this bright effect is the most realistic and natural, retaining a highly saturated image, giving a particularly pleasing feeling.
--- Telephoto
The 2.5x periscope telephoto lens is digitally cropped to 5x, and the brightness of the image is well maintained without loss due to the zoom, and thanks to the fine processing and optimization of the image by the computational optical photography technology, the details of the photo still maintain a very high degree of clarity.
Photos taken with the help of a telephoto lens can effectively avoid cluttered background elements, pure and clear images.
--Ultra Wide Angle
Under the ultra-wide-angle lens, the distortion control on both sides of the screen is excellent, which is very suitable for daily photography needs. In the face of a wide landscape, it is able to easily capture the entire scene without noticeable stress.
