A look at the vivo X90 Pro's camera features for night photography

In recent years, smartphone photography has undergone leaps and bounds, especially in the field of low-light photography. Advances such as larger image sensors, high-quality optics and advanced AI-driven image processing algorithms make shooting in challenging lighting conditions more accessible than ever before. What was once reserved for professional photographers is now available to mobile photography enthusiasts right in their pocket. The vivo X90 Pro camera allows users to work with different phases of light in a completely new way and capture truly special moments.

However, in addition to this, real professionals have several tips and tricks on how to achieve the perfect low-light shot even better. In the following article, four professional ZEISS photographers – Timm Allrich, Jakub Polomski, Michael Portillo and Gabriel Santos will present their experiences with night photography.

WHY IS - OR RATHER WAS - NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY WITH SMARTPHONES DIFFICULT? AND WHAT DOES THE VIVO X90 PRO BRING?

“Night photography has traditionally been a challenge for smartphone cameras. Especially when it comes to dealing with dynamic range issues. High contrast between shadows and highlights often results in underexposed images lacking detail, structure and contrast. In low light conditions, mastering the ISO setting is also challenging," said Michael Portillo. Gabriel Santos particularly emphasized the importance of the size of the sensor and the brightness of the lens, which will allow capturing the maximum amount of light that is so necessary for creating photographs. “The bigger the sensor and the more light the lens can gather, the better the overall results.” On the viva X90 Pro, Timm Allrich highlighted the integrated image stabilizer. And it is a large, highly sensitive sensor that excels in noise reduction and outperforms many smaller cameras.

Jakub Polomski pointed out various problems that smartphones generally face in low light. These include, for example, small sensors limiting the capture of a sufficient amount of light. Also fixed aperture, aggressive noise reduction algorithms affecting detail, potential blur due to slower shutter speeds, degradation caused by digital zoom and limited manual control of settings.

ASPECTS DECISIVE FOR THE SUCCESS OF NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY THROUGH THE EYES OF EXPERIENCED PHOTOGRAPHERS

According to Jakub, the main factor that distinguishes good and not-so-good night photography is the level of noise and graininess of the image. A quality night photo should show minimal noise. And thus maintain a clean and sharp appearance. Furthermore, good exposure and contrast are essential along with a balanced play of light and shadow. Timm stressed the importance of achieving a balanced image by controlling contrast and brightness differences. Especially at different stages of the night. “The ability to choose the correct composition in low light conditions can be challenging. And that's why the use of other additional tools, such as flashlights, is appropriate."

Gabriel also agrees on this. He emphasized the importance of playing with ambient light to highlight desired subjects and using longer exposure times at the lowest possible ISO to minimize noise. He also recommends creative use of available light sources. Such as street lamps or reflections, or even the moon to add interest and dimension. There are no limits to creativity here and there are many ways to try it out.

According to Michael, a good night photo should show the details and contrasts of different light sources. And keep realistic and minimize shadows. “Learning how to handle HDR, color, sharpness and digital noise is absolutely essential.” All of the photographers encourage budding photographers to pick up their smartphone and get out there. They trained and familiarized themselves with the different stages of lighting. From dusk, sunrise and sunset to near total darkness. Ideal in an area with little light pollution. It is important to test the device, play with the settings and explore what can be done.

EXPERT TIPS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LOW-LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY RESULTS

Gabriel emphasized the importance of understanding the behavior of light in low light. “By repeatedly capturing the same sunset scene, one can learn to adjust settings such as shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Depending on how the lighting changes. This hands-on experience helps photographers make the most of the situation," adds Timm Allrich. "Why not take advantage of the sunset and experience the different phases of light, dusk and night firsthand? It's an ideal opportunity to gain experience in how to use low-light situations to your advantage," adds Gabriel. Additionally, they both recommend using a tripod to get the best quality shots. Jakub also uses this and explains that another stable pad that minimizes camera shakes is also sufficient.

Michael adds that in combination with a tripod, photographers should use night mode. Or professional mode to check settings. Such as shutter speed and movement. And also take pictures during the blue hour for beautiful skies and enhanced colors, or even enhance them with vivo filters.

HOW VIVO IMPROVED LOW LIGHT AND NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY WITH VIVO X90 PRO?

Low light and night photography have always been the subject of extensive interest and research by vivoexperts and the partnership with ZEISS has focused even more attention on them. The goal was and is to provide users with an experience that is as welcoming as possible. The X51, which was vivo's first European flagship, introduced Super Night Mode and a built-in gimbal that offers long exposure times and algorithms to eliminate motion blur. Later, the X60 Pro model, the first vivo smartphone developed together with ZEISS experts, improved the gimbal capabilities and introduced Extreme Night Vision 2.0. The previous flagship, the X80 Pro, premiered the V1+ chip and ZEISS T* coating, further advancing low-light and night photography. And now the vivo X90 Pro builds on the success of its predecessors and delivers the ultimate low-light photography experience.
