Vivo X3, as a new generation of music player series with dominant sound quality, not only continues the advantages of X1 ultra-thin music phone, but also adds a closed-loop motor to the rear 8 million pixel lens to improve the focusing speed of the lens. How about the shooting level of this vivo X3? Let's explore it together.

Capture interface

Let's take a look at the video X3 shooting interface:

The shooting interface design is still simple.

However, in terms of shooting options, compared with the minimalist design of previous vivo, the new version of the shooting application has added many shooting options.

In addition, ISO still cannot be adjusted, and the options that can be adjusted are limited.

Daytime shooting

The editor prints the EXIF information of the photo on the lower right corner of the photo. If you are interested, you can pay attention to it.

From the above sample, Vivo has realized that the minimum ISO limit of 150 was changed to ensure sufficient shutter speed when Xplay was in progress. Compared with the purity of Xplay's image, it is better.

However, the quality of this lens is not very good. This is a 100% enlarged screenshot of the above picture, which has a slightly strong sense of smearing and a slight lack of sharpness.

HDR

HDR off.

HDR ON. This time, the X3's HDR shooting and compositing time has been greatly reduced, and even the handheld can shoot HDR normally! However, Xiao Bian still believes that the synthesis time is a little long, and the film production rate may not be very high.

HDR ON.

HDR is closed. At sunset, the focus and metering are on the right building.

When shooting with HDR, the details under the shadow of the original backlight image become clear and visible in HDR mode.

HDR off.

HDR is enabled. From the sample above, the HDR effect is good. If the synthesis time is faster, the film yield will be higher.

Macro

X3's macro shooting is relatively ordinary, and the recent focusing distance is not very close.

This is a 100% screenshot of the flower above. Although it is not very clear and sharp, it is acceptable.

The background is not natural enough, a little stiff.

Nightscape

Because the new shooting application specially adds the night scene mode, the following night scene will have three shooting modes: normal, HDR, and night scene.

Normal mode shooting.

HDR mode shooting.

Shooting in night view mode.

Judging from the above three samples, the one with the best performance is the one shot in HDR mode. The picture performance is acceptable, and the details of large billboards with high brightness are also displayed. The other two samples shot in HDR mode are basically white.

You can click the picture to see the details of the large picture.

Normal mode.

HDR。

Night view mode. When the light is weak and the environment is dark, the night scene mode can extend the shutter speed and increase the time for light to enter the lens. At the same time, the ISO will also be relatively lower to improve the purity of the picture.

100% screenshots of the above three photos, you can click to view the large picture.

Features

By long pressing the screen, AE and AF can be locked. At the same time, the focusing point and metering point can be separated to make the picture exposure reach the desired effect.

These two pictures are the separate operation metering points to control the exposure of the picture.

When you think the exposure of the picture has reached the desired effect, you can press the shutter to take a picture with normal exposure.

After shooting, X3 has many built-in photo filters. You can adjust the style of photo filters according to your own preferences.

In addition, some of the best shooting, smiling face shutter and so on are understood by everyone. The X3 front 5 megapixel camera can also be divided into three modes in beauty mode: natural, classic and extreme.

summary

This time, the vivo X3 does not use the 13 million pixel camera, which is popular today. Instead, it uses an 8 million camera and a closed-loop motor to improve the camera focusing speed. This camera performs fairly well in the daytime. Although the picture is slightly smeared and the details are not outstanding, considering the ultra-thin body, the larger sensor and camera may further highlight the camera, which is related to the overall beauty. Vivo should compromise the image quality on this point.

However, compared with the HDR mode of Xplay, X3 has made greater progress in HDR, shortened the synthesis time and improved the tablet yield. In terms of macro, the recent focusing distance is not very ideal, and the background illusion is a little stiff, not natural.

Although the night scene is still blurry, the sense of smearing is obvious. However, compared with Xplay, it has been improved. We still need to work hard. There are many lights in the city at night. For example, on the street scene after some squares have large screen advertisements, the HDR effect will be surprising. In some dark urban night scenes, HDR has less effect, but its night scene mode can also be used to remedy it.

This time, the X3 camera has added AE and AF locks, and can also separate the focus and metering points, which is actually excellent. It is easy to control the exposure of the picture, and can get the exposure effect you want, so the playability is high.

As for the closed-loop motor, when the light is enough, the focusing speed is really fast. However, in the case of less light, the focusing speed will also become very slow. It seems that the motor has not achieved the desired effect.

Generally speaking, the shooting effect is not very impressive, but fortunately, some special functions can remedy the use experience. It is acceptable for daily shooting. If you have high requirements for mobile phone photography, X3 may not be able to meet your needs.
