42 TECH ADVISOR • NOVEMBER 2019REVIEWThere's some obvious
skin softening in use herebefore taking another portrait shot, since every
time you exit the camera view it will automatically
retract the camera.
In selfie mode you can choose between the
ordinary Photo mode, Portrait, which allows for bokeh-
effect blurred background shots, Panorama, which
lets you take group selfies without everyone getting
into awkward positions, Video and Short Video. The
main camera adds a Slow motion mode that can
shoot video at 960fps, in addition to 4K at 30fps with
image stabilization.
By default there’s some obvious skin softening in
use here, but there are five Beauty presets to choose
from, and sliders for just about everything, from the
shape of your face to the size of your eyes. You can
even apply little sparkly stars to your eyes (but don’t,
because they look silly), or apply real-time filters
such as Movie or Sepia.42 TECH ADVISOR • NOVEMBER 2019REVIEW
