High-speed continuous shooting 20fps (20 continuous shooting per second), grasp the most beautiful moment
There are often European and American Internet celebrities sharing photos on IG. The style is like that moment when you walk halfway and get photographed, or when you look back just to be captured. It looks super lifelike and very fashionable. If you want to take a photo To produce such a photo, use the Xperia 5 IV’s 20fps burst function to create it.

The all-match Pose must be touching the head or smoothing the hair. If you want to take the kind of beautiful photos in an instant, you can switch to 20fps high-speed continuous shooting. As long as you press the shutter, the phone will shoot 20 photos per second. After taking the photo, it will help you pick out a best-looking photo, so you can check in and share it directly!
Make good use of eye-tracking focus to complete the shooting
Although we are not professional models, but IG has been sliding for a long time, and I have seen a lot of online beauty photos. I always learn some tips for taking pictures. The most important thing when taking portrait photos is “eyes”. I have confirmed the eyes, Ah, no , After the eyes are in focus, it is right to think about composition and pose.
The Xperia 5 IV can easily do it when the eyes are in focus, becauseBuilt-in real-time eye tracking functioneven if you are moving or your hands are shaking, as long as you press the shutter halfway, the phone willAutomatically track eyes with AIposition, press the shutter button, you can get the accurate focus photos of the eyes.
▲ Don’t know what Pose to put? Look at the recent popular gestures of Korean stars. After the previous finger love and inverted YA, the latest popular is the cheek love, that is, put your hand on the cheek with a C, you can complete the cute cheek love photo, as long as the picture is in the picture When eyes appear, the phone will accurately focus, so that the eyes are clear.
▲ Closing your eyes is also a way to take pictures. You can take pictures with a feeling of blocking the sun with your hands. For example, when the eyes are not open, there is no way to use instant eye tracking to focus, but You can still use the instant object tracking focus function to automatically make the entire face contour in focus.
▲If the background is a little messy, you can switch to the 60mm lens and try to keep only the Model in the picture, which will look cleaner and neater. Under such shooting conditions, you can also use the instant eye tracking focus function to make people look like Clear and accurate focus, in addition, the color of the photo is very natural, the sharpness is also good, and it looks good when you press the shutter.
Get creative!Make good use of three different focal length lenses to enjoy life
The Xperia 5 IV is equipped with three lenses with different focal lengths, ranging from ultra-wide-angle to telephoto. Making good use of the Xperia 5 IV’s ultra-wide-angle lens is also a small trick for taking full-body photos. The deformation effect can naturally extend the length of the legs, and the ratio is very good. The equivalent focal length of the ultra-wide-angle lens of the Xperia 5 IV is 16mm, which will not be too deformed when shooting.
It is also possible to use a telephoto lens to capture the feeling of long legs, as long as the legs feel crossed or kicked forward when taking pictures, the telephoto lens can not only create a slight compression of the picture at the same time, but also allow The characters are solid.
When squatting, the composition flexibility is relatively high, whether it is an ultra-wide-angle, wide-angle or telephoto lens, you can shoot, depending on how much background you want to accommodate, or what kind of picture tension you want to create.
HDR saves backlit photos
Sometimes it is difficult to take pictures in an environment that is not satisfactory. For example, a beautiful scene has a lot of backlight. If the mobile phone does not have HDR or the HDR design is not good enough, the bright areas will become white and the dark areas will look black. Not sure, but fortunately the HDR of Xperia 5 IV is very practical. For example, there is a super beautiful Japanese-style landscaping in the atrium of a department store in Xinyi District, but if you want to take pictures in the corridor of Japanese-style landscaping, the transparent ceiling of the atrium sprinkles down The light will cause a large backlight on the face. Remember to apply the HDR function at this time, so that the face can be brightened and the background can be clear.
As long as the environment is backlit, the HDR function can be applied, so that the overall picture contrast between light and dark is not so high, and the details can be presented.
HDR can also be used in side-light environments. HDR will slightly brighten the side that is not illuminated, so that the contrast between light and dark in the picture will not be too strong, and it will look softer.
Gaying on the same scene: In addition to shooting people, the scenes are also very good
Although I mainly want to share the various functions of the Xperia 5 IV, it is really good to shoot people, but because we also exerted a little creativity in the process of taking pictures, we took some maiden photos of “turtle hair” 
For example, because the lens of the Xperia 5 IV is designed to be on the left side instead of the center of the back, it is very suitable for placing it on a smooth desktop, on the water surface, on the ground, and using reflection to take pictures with a sense of symmetry. I think the following: These shots are pretty good
And this time, the 60mm telephoto lens of Xperia 5 IV is really unexpected and super easy to use. Sometimes the scenery in front of you is beautiful, but there are always some small places that feel too cluttered and cluttered. At this time, it only takes a second Switching to a 60mm telephoto lens is fine.
For example, you don’t want to get the IMAX logo next to you when you take a photo of the Miramar Ferris Wheel? No problem, switch to the 60mm long lens and only shoot the Ferris wheel and the blue sky. This sense of transparency and air is like being in Japan for a second!
Or do you want to shoot a building and don’t want the entire building to be photographed? No problem, find the central axis of the symmetry of the building, and make the picture symmetrical to the left and right to look good!
Oh, by the way, I want to praise the Xperia 5 IV’s anti-shake, for example, when taking such symmetrical photos, because I want to make the picture symmetrical, the hands will become very easy to shake.
Or if the atrium of the building does not want the crowds and tourists below to enter the lens, switch to the 60mm telephoto lens as well, and only let the desired corner appear in the picture, which is obviously a frequent place, but As long as you change the angle of view, it will immediately become different.
