Xiaomi 2A shooting evaluation and night scene shooting skills sharing
Xiaomi 2A shooting evaluation and night scene shooting skills sharing

The Xiaomi 2A is like the low configuration version of Xiaomi 2, but except that the hardware is not as powerful as Xiaomi 2, the appearance has changed. The screen has been upgraded from 4.3 inches to 4.5 inches, and the camera has also maintained the level of 8 million pixels and 2.0 aperture. Next, let's test this camera by watching the sample of Xiaomi 2A.

 

Note: Although the EXIF of these samples is m2, the Xiaobian is actually shooting with m2. We can only think that Xiaomi has not changed the camera information.

Daytime proof

The weather on the day of shooting was not good and cloudy.

 

 

The reason why the sky is suddenly so clear is that Xiao Bian sets his focus on the dark building.

 

 

 

 

 

From the daytime samples, there is no problem. They are standard and basically maintain the same level as M2.

 

HDR

The HDR effect of Xiaomi mobile phones is always flattering, so Xiaobian also takes more HDR samples for everyone to watch.

HDR ON. After the HDR effect is turned on, in addition to displaying the sky correctly, the color is also full.

When HDR is on, the upper and lower pictures show a strong contrast between turning HDR on or off.

Macro

Anyone who has used Xiaomi 2 should know that its macro ability is good. Xiaomi 2A also uses the same camera. In this respect, just look at the sample.

 

It was already dark when I took this picture, so the background was relatively dark. Sorry.

 

 

 

 

This is a 100% screenshot of the above one. I believe you can see the effect.

 

Nightscape

In fact, Xiaomi mobile phones have been good at night shooting since Xiaomi 2, mainly to see if you can use them.

Xiaomi 2A limits the ISO to 100, which can extend the shutter time. The brightness of the night scene is enough, and the low ISO can control the noise very little.

 

Of course... not many people like to rely on long exposure to create night scenes like Xiao Bian, and long exposure is also easy to destroy films due to shaking hands. This sample was taken using automatic ISO. Compared with the previous night scene, the high ISO will produce more noise and the image sharpness will decrease.

 

This picture is taken with automatic ISO and HDR effect. After HDR is enabled, the picture can be further brightened, but it will also have an impact on the picture. If you want a very bright effect, you can consider using this method. In fact, the best picture performance is to extend the shutter by reducing the ISO.

 

The following night scene samples will also be taken according to the above three methods of shooting night scenes. You can compare the effects of the next three samples.

By limiting the ISO to lengthen the shutter, the shutter speed has been reduced to 1/2 second. This shutter speed is easy to destroy the film. You should pay attention when using this method. There is a blur in the lower left corner. Don't panic. It's just a face running at high speed.

 

With automatic ISO, the brightness of the image is improved, and there will be a lot of noise in the image.

 

Only automatic ISO and HDR shooting, brighter picture, noise

 

ISO is limited to 100. Although the picture is not very bright, the picture is pure. In addition, the fog on the night when Xiao Bian shot was too heavy, and those farther away were completely covered by fog.

 

Turn on automatic ISO.

 

Turn on automatic ISO and HDR shooting, and the picture will be brighter. If you like the brighter picture and don't mind the noise problem, you can use this method to shoot.

 

The ISO is limited to 100 samples. Hmm, the fog is really heavy... If it is sunny, it is better to shoot the night scene at this angle. I believe you are tired of the small editor coming here to try every time shooting night scenes. I don't want to, but these city night scenes are really first-class for testing night shooting ability!

 

Automatic ISO.

 

Auto ISO and HDR shooting are bright enough. I still like brighter pictures, but I don't mind noise. This method is also OK.

Low ISO shooting may not make the picture brighter, but in terms of the image sharpness of the sample, the sharpness of low ISO is undoubtedly better:

Xiao Bian merged 100% screenshots of the same position of the three shooting samples together. The shooting method is marked in the upper left corner. You can click the picture to view the large picture, and then compare it yourself.

Note: This method can be used on Xiaomi 2, 16G version 2S and Xiaomi 2A. Because the 32G version of Xiaomi 2S uses the 13 million pixel camera of Sony Stack, this method cannot be applied.

summary

The shooting ability is basically the same as that of Xiaomi 2, and the imaging in the daytime is satisfactory. HDR effect is good, and the color is very pleasing. The macro range ability is also good, and the imaging is also quite sharp. As for the night, it depends on which shooting method you like. Xiao Bian prefers to reduce the ISO and lengthen the shutter. In addition, Xiao Bian also believes that the picture performance is the best and can ensure a certain sharpness. Of course, which method to use to shoot the night scene depends on your own preference or the situation. When the environment is too dark or your hands are easy to shake, automatic ISO and HDR are good methods.
