Monochrome mode is recommended for the second trip

Huawei P9 has two lenses and two image sensors.One image sensor is monochrome, and the other is the color ... to the readers of this magazine.

What I recently use is "monochrome" mode.I knew that it was a model bearing the "Leica" brand, so I could take a picture of a monochrome with a sense of depth.But I rarely used it.

Unlike the era of analog cameras who chose films on their own, in the era of digital cameras, the photos seem to be default.Even professional photographers rarely take monochrome photos with digital cameras, and when taking monochrome, many people use film cameras.Even more, there was no necessity for an amateur writer to take a monochrome, and it was like "if you take it in color, you can change it to monochrome by editing image."

However, if you take a P9 "monochrome" mode, it is clearly different from the photos that were monochrome in editing.The shades are beautifully expressed, and the contrast is clear.Even if you shoot a natural sight, it will feel some artistic atmosphere.

So, recently, I am mainly using "monochrome" mode in the "second trip".On the first trip, you still want to shoot in color.In the second trip, I thought, "I took the landscape when I came before," and then looked back, wouldn't it be just a picture of the dishes?Then, first of all, let's take a picture on a different theme.

I am now in Baroselona for interviews with Mobile World Congress.This is the fourth visit to both business trips and private.Except for the inevitable shooting at work, the number of shutters has been reduced.However, in this stay, I dare to shoot in Huawei P9 in "monochrome".You can take a good feeling.The taste is more than a color, the lens is pointing at something that you don't want to take in the color, and the mind or consciousness of taking pictures changes.

Even if Huawei P9 is "monochrome", you can adjust exposure, ISO sensitivity, focus, etc. by using "Pro" (manual) mode.I was in my 50s, so I used a film camera when I was young, but I had never used Leica, and when I took it in monochrome, I didn't remember choosing film.No way, at this age, I'm addicted to monochrome shooting with a smartphone ...I mean, at that time, there was no smartphone (laughs).

By the way, I covered Huawei P10 as a souvenir (or rather a terminal for evaluation).In the P10, Leica lenses have evolved to the second generation, and monochrome sensor pixels have been improved from 12 million pixels to 20 million pixels.I tried to compare it in monochrome mode as soon as possible.

It looks almost the same, but the P10 has the impression that black is tightened and the fineness is slightly improved.If you are currently using P9, it is a frank impression that if you buy it, it will be P10 Plus.
