It is accompanied by a wide angle, also 50 Mpx; but the camera that really attracts attention is the 200 Mpx ZEISS APO telephoto lens.
It is thanks to the telephoto camera that vivo can boast of offering six zoom capabilities, including HyperZoom, macro, portrait, nightscapes and sunset. Each mode is designed to capture each scenario and type of subject in detail, and the company highlights its behavior in low light conditions. But ‘hardware’ is already only one part of mobile photography, and ‘software’ has become more important.
To start, the new Improved Super Landscape mode It is one of those features that are only available on Vivo mobile phones, and as its name indicates, it is specialized in capturing all types of landscapes, with all types of details. This mode integrates panoramic photography, long exposure and ZEISS perspective correction functions. The Superlandscape mode adds several automatic improvements that our captures can receive, such as the Atmosphere and Soft styles that do not require additional filters to achieve good results.
