This allows you to capture photos and videos even in any light condition, allowing the bright parts of the image not to be overexposed, while the dark areas appear in full detail.

In use, the team demonstrates that the ultra-wide-angle camera offers a very wide field of view, for taking shots in urban environments and landscapes. It makes it easy to take group photos thanks to Huawei’s distortion correction algorithms. For its part, the 32 MP front camera allows you to selfies of remarkable quality and its Portrait Mode makes it easy to highlight relevant aspects with Bokeh. AI beauty effects and filters can be used, and Night Mode can be manually activated for very dark spaces or low-light scenarios.

Regarding its operation, the hardware the camera captures an image, and then the software With AI, the XD Fusion Engine is activated using computational photography techniques to enhance the details of images.

The nova 9, according to the brand itself, has specific characteristics for young users such as that the front and rear cameras are compatible with 4K video capture and AIS video stabilization (AI Image Stabilization), which makes it easy to capture images without distortion. Since it adds continuous front / rear recording, it allows recording with both cameras without pausing the recording, while on the other hand, simultaneous double-view video recording manages to show the reactions of the author of the live video, or a general image and the details while capturing close-up and wide-angle at the same time. It is also possible to take slow motion videos or in time-lapse, with both the front and rear cameras. In fact, there are a wide variety of video modes available for home video editing and production.
