This camera setup comes with a 50MP Super Sensing Wide Camera, a 20MP Ultra Wide Cine Camera , a 12MP Periscope Telephoto Camera that supports 5x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom and 50x digital zoom and a laser sensor for fast autofocusing. Thanks to this setup, users can shoot in real-time HDR with XD Fusion HDR Video enabled by default for better details in dark and bright scenarios. It also includes a built-in AI image stabilization that supports Steady Shot, a powerful stabilization solution that reduces blurs or shakes while recording videos when moving around. The camera setup also brings to the table Tracking Shot, which uses advanced algorithms to crop the footage from the ultra-wide angle camera and identifies various subjects in the frame. Users can then choose their main subject to be followed, which the HUAWEI Mate 40 Pro will ensure is always front and center. The Ultra Vision Cine Camera setup also caters heavily to today’s digital content creator, with a Story Creator feature that offers up six templates with custom sets of shots to help capture their stories with a more cinematic touch, complete with background music, filters, watermarks and more.
