You can take clear pictures of high-speed trains traveling at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour!Huawei Pura 70 series “super-fast flash shooting” revealed–Quick Technology–Technology changes the future

Recently, Huawei’s Pura 70 series, including four models including Pura 70, Pura 70 Pro, Pura 70 Pro+, and Pura 70 Ultra, has joined the Pioneer Program and will officially launch on April 18 and April 22 respectively. For sale, the starting price is 5,499 yuan and the highest price is 10,999 yuan.

Since Huawei launched the P series in 2012, each generation of the Huawei P series has been a perfect fusion of technological aesthetics and smart photography in the past twelve years.

From the industry's first black and white dual camera, to the first commercial 5x periscope telephoto, self-developed RYYB super-sensitive sensor, to the first 100x binocular zoom, and the first super-concentrated night vision telephoto, Huawei P series continues to promote mobile Innovation and progress in imaging technology.

This time, Huawei Pura 70 series once again breaks the rules and brings the “ultra-fast flash shooting” function.

Whether it's a flying pet, a maglev train traveling at 300 kilometers per hour, or the expressions of characters on a roller coaster, it can clearly freeze every highlight moment!

Huawei Pura 70 Ultra ultra-high-speed flash shooting: freeze motion moments

When taking pictures with a mobile phone in daily life, you often need to hold the phone steadily, otherwise the photos may be blurry.

However, when trying to capture fast-moving objects, even with a very steady hand, the photo still appears blurry because of the technical limitations of traditional mobile photography.

When taking a photo, the moment the shutter opens actually lasts. This time may be a few tenths of a second in a dark environment, but may only be a few thousandths of a second outdoors with sufficient light.

While this exposure time is long enough to capture stationary or slow-moving objects, it is not short enough for high-speed moving objects.

Taking a racing car traveling at 300 kilometers per hour as an example, if the shutter speed is 1/1000 second, then the car has moved forward approximately 8.3 centimeters while the shutter is open.

This movement can create a dynamic blur effect in video and enhance the sense of speed, but in still photos, this movement can cause blur.

In order to clearly capture high-speed moving objects, you need to use a shorter shutter speed for a “short exposure”. Huawei Pura 70 Ultra is equipped with an XD Motion engine, which uses “short exposure” technology to capture the transient motion of objects to obtain clear photos of high-speed moving objects.

However, the problem with short exposures is that the amount of light entering is reduced, which may affect image quality.

To solve this problem, Huawei adopted an ingenious method: taking a “long exposure” photo at the same time to maintain image quality, and then perfectly blending the two photos together through AI technology, ultimately achieving local motion blur. Restoration ensures the overall clarity and quality of your photos.

The principle is similar to HDR pictures. Take an underexposed photo to retain highlight details, and at the same time take an overexposed photo to retain dark details. Later, through fusion, you can obtain a photo with perfectly preserved light and dark details.

Freeze and clear: shutter is king, but the core is aperture

The core reason why Huawei Pura 70 Ultra can achieve ultra-short shutter time such as “short exposure” is the aperture.

As we all know, the three elements of photography are: aperture, shutter, and ISO. These are also the three major parameter settings of digital cameras.

In the normal mode of the mobile phone, although the user does not need to manually adjust these three parameters, they are always related to each other and directly determine the imaging of each photo.

The trick to clearly photographing high-speed moving objects is to increase the shutter speed of the camera as much as possible. However, the higher the shutter speed, the shorter the exposure time, the smaller the amount of light entering, and the photo may be underexposed.

At this time, in order to ensure correct exposure, there are two methods: increasing the aperture (the larger the light transmission aperture, the greater the amount of light that naturally enters), and increasing the ISO (increasing the sensitivity of the camera's CMOS).

It should be noted that ISO does not increase infinitely. An excessively high ISO will usually lead to reduced image quality and make photos full of noise.

Increasing the aperture is a better solution, but the only disadvantage is that it is expensive. However, as a new generation of imaging flagship, Huawei Pura 70 series still costs a lot of money.

It is understood that the main cameras of Huawei Pura 70 Ultra, Huawei Pura 70 Pro+, and periscope telephoto cameras all use the largest physical aperture among sensors of the same size in the industry. Among them, the rotating and telescopic main camera of Huawei Pura 70 Ultra has 1 inch outsole sensor and the largest F1.6 physical aperture among 1-inch sensors. The main camera of Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ has a 1/1.3-inch outsole sensor and the industry's largest F1.4 physical aperture; at the same time, the length of both Both cameras are equipped with the industry’s largest periscope telephoto F2.1 aperture.

The maximum aperture naturally guarantees the maximum amount of light, allowing the Huawei Pura 70 series to be far ahead of its competitors in terms of shutter speed, enabling ultra-high-speed flash shooting. From today’s official release of Huawei’s speed-sensing blockbuster of badminton world champion Chen Yufei , we can more intuitively feel the power of Huawei Pura 70 Ultra’s flash shooting function.

Huawei Pura 70 series redefines industry standards for mobile phone imaging

As we all know, the realization of any function on a mobile phone is the result of software and hardware optimization. Aperture and algorithm constitute Huawei’s “flash shooting” right-hand man, both of which are indispensable.

If the industry's largest aperture provides Huawei's Pura 70 series with a “flash shot” of towering trees, then the XD Motion engine can make the tree bear fruit.

In the past, when we discussed mobile photography, the focus was usually on the quality of static images such as the accuracy of white balance and the brightness and sharpness of night scenes.

As mobile phone imaging technology continues to advance, major mobile phone manufacturers have been able to fine-tune these common shooting scenarios to achieve near-perfect results.

However, the ultra-high-speed capture function introduced by Huawei Pura 70 series is refreshing. It proves that even high-speed moving objects can be recorded clearly.

There is no doubt that the “Ultra-fast Flash Shot” function of Huawei's Pura 70 series has once again revolutionized the mobile phone photography experience.

Huawei has not only promoted the development of mobile phone imaging technology, but also reset industry standards: high-speed flash photography should become a standard feature of flagship mobile phones.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, more mobile phones supporting high-speed capture functions will appear on the market, which will greatly enrich our photography experience.
