Just got my p20 pro and am slightly miffed as I have tested out the motion picture mode and the resolution seems to change when you view the photo's movement. My partner has a p10 lite and it is smooth and clear when it takes a motion picture. It seems like the p20 pro changes resolution from the video part to the photo part and it is not a smooth transition. Any ideas?
Also I have noticed that the p20 pro doesn't have mirrorlink, instead it states mirrorshare?
I also realise there's no mirror link!! Not happy!

Hello,
I'm on the latest OTA update and I can't use these apps.
Filmic pro does not allow me to use 24fps (always goes to 30fps). When I choose the Force FPS option it does 24fps (but this is experimental). My videos shot in 4K are worse in quality than 1080p in native camera app. I talked with the support and they said that i'm the only one with P20 Pro with such a problem. Did any of you use this app and had such problems? Can you share a sample video?
Here is my sample from filmic pro (1080p and 4k video): https://we.tl/s-q5TPnIuzJg
In Cinema 4K it never records in 24fps, and the app crashes every time I try to use flat color profile.
Is my device broken?

filmic is not using camera SDK for huawei ( or something like that)
you cannot use 3x zoom camera only main one and if you compare 4k filmic and 4k native (other camera app) 100% crop filmic looks like upscaled 1080p- quality is much worse.
i am using open camera app - at least i can use zoom camera and bitrate is decent 80mbit (max what p20 pro supports).
but whend testing the phone and shooting grass while walking (lot af moving objects) biterate is around 100mbit, when shooting static picture with some pans bitrate is 40-60mbit. i was using 150mbit hevc on galaxy s7 and it is always 150mbit in the dark when recording fast scenes or static objects. with huawei i want high bitrate in night scenes to reduce compression artefacts because of high iso and phone lowers it actualy which is dissapointing.
this phone is very bad for video. old galaxy s7 was much better and has ois.
for photography it is okif you use raw/ bw camera bud also here compression is too high. but actually i think it's only phonefor now that can bring output quality bit closer to nokia 808 output.
Thanks for the reply - that's sad that "the best camera phone" is that hard to use.
Hello
2 days ago i bought p20 pro due to good reviews but i saw some big problem check this photo https://www7.zippyshare.com/v/OTAuxlO3/file.html
i this normal ? i mean photo is too "soft" and details suck . this is auto mode with AI off 40 mpx. is there anyway to fix this ? some other camera app ? i cant belive that camera of that "level" could be that bad maybe its just software suck ?
sometimes i fell that my old zenfone 2 took better photos much "sharper" / detailed (i dont know how to name it) , i got android 9 but im not sure on 8 there was difference

I never saw such a bad quality on P20 Pro. If you really want to take 40mpx photos,you should use Pro mode anyway,and change the focus area to wide to capture a detailed photo,otherwise by default(in any mode) the focus point is in the center,looking for a person/object. But even with default it should be a lot more clear. Be sure to update your phone using HiSuite for PC and reset the camera app. Best pictures are at 10mpx because it captures more light and they are downsampled from 40mpx. Also,at 40mpx it only uses the 40mpx RGB camera. Use photo mode for normal pictures,night mode for low light if you don't enable master AI,and Pro mode for more control. Be sure to understand all the settings,especially focus modes. Your picture was in a low light environment,you should have sticked to 10mpx,or Pro mode(but at 40mpx some settings are not there because like I said,it does not use all the cameras)

HiSuite say im using newest official update clt-l29 9.0.0236 (C432E5R1P9)(official version)
i made hard reset and roll back to 8.0 and didint help , also cleared cache/app date
can someone put photo from p20 pro in similar conditions ?
The 40MPix mode is amazing if you want to a) capture most of details and b) if you want to play with photo in Snapseed or PSe for example. I use is because it doesn't do HDR, that CAN be too aggressive when 10mpix is enabled. Can you share this photo somewhere else, because zippy share is overflow with advertisment.
Jpeg from raw
For example - jpeg made from raw in pro mode, edited in lightroom mobile.
EDIT: ooops, xda scrambled quality...
Btw I do not see a problem in your photo. If you zoom 100% of course, the photo will not be sharp nor pleasant to see, but 40MPixs can surely be printed for example on A2 and look gorgeous (in fact, everything >12MPix will). The point is, you took picture against the sun, that means it had to deal with huge amount of direct sunlight, that's probably the reason the grass and mud is so... well... not sharp. It's partly simple optics and party too agressive postprocessing.
So coming from a photographer-background i feel that the camera on the P30 Pro is a bit heavy on the HDR. Meaning that it doesn't recreate blacks very well, and in some shot's where shadows would be better left natural, it gives it too much HDR. (Sorry the bad English)
Is there a way to adjust/turn off HDR on this camera?
I believe if you turn off the AI and shoot in auto it shouldn't apply any HDR - but I don't know this to be true.
It's somewhat difficult to get away from the HDR look since when you shoot in Auto mode at 10mpix it utilizes pixelbinning which will kinda look like HDR where highlights are pulled down and shadows are lifted. The only way to get around this is to use a third party camera application or to shoot RAW, and i do recommend you shoot RAW anyways to get away from the heavy overprocessing, noisereduction and sharpening.

Use pro mode.
Thanks for the reply guys. But I don't have the time to shoot pro and RAW all the time when it comes to smartphone-photos. The phone is for taking quick shots for Instagram-stories and such.
If I want to get a proper shot I pull out my Nikon D800. But there should be an option to adjust the level of HDR in photo mode, turning off "AI" doesn't change much, sadly.

Use pro mode without changing any setting you will be fine.
Just surfing comparisons online and this video shows it goes both ways. Sometimes the P30 Pro pulls out the shadow detail, other times the 6T does:

This is also bothering me, I turned off the AI on my previous P20 Pro, and this wasn't a problem. But now on the P30 Pro, even if I turn off the AI sometimes photos come out as horribly overprocessed to the extent that the photos can't even be fixed by post processing. The effect is very similar to heavy HDR (or glike going overboard with the Google Photos' Pop effect)
Hello sorry for my english I use google translation
I'm not a troll to the p30 pro-s10 +
I own the p30 pro is the s10 +when I compare the pictures of the P30 Pro-s10+
the photos of the P30 pro are blurred, it has a white veil too
I had to make several photos with the p30 pro to have a suitable result
Why ?
I use the software 178
thanks

Try shutting off master AI, looks like the P30 applies digital bokeh to your picture that din't work so well for that photo.
OK here is the result
thanks

Hi. I bought a P30 Pro and I have a problem with blurry front camera.
All selfies, doesnt matter if in Portrait Mode, Photo Mode, with/without bokeh effect, all photos are just blurry.
Is there any way to fix this?
Rear camera is great, but the front is just.. just bad!
EDIT:
I have a P20 Pro too. When I hold phones at like 30cm, P20 Pro takes much better/sharper photos.
When I take photos at like 30cm+, P30 Pro is much clearer. Is there really no chance for sharp "close-up" photos?
Thanks!
Unfortunately not. The P30 Pro has a fixed focal length front camera. This means, that the images will be only perfectly sharp at a certain distance i think its about 50-60cm (arm length). Hope this helps!
There's a guide for selfies available...
