The OPPO FindX3 Pro can magnify the object up to 60 times, capturing the intricacy not visible to the naked eye.
WHILE some of us have been fortunate enough to bask in the beauty that is Malaysia, if our natural wonders are not preserved, our future generations might not be able to enjoy the gorgeous mountain landscapes of Mount Kinabalu or the crystal clear waters of Tioman.
So there is a growing need for us to protect the present for the future.
“All my life, I’ve wanted to save endangered species, ” said National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore.
“The way they look and ignite our imaginations, in every colour imaginable, is amazing. I believe great photographs, and the stories behind them, have the power to save species and the habitats they need to survive.
“I’m doing all I can to bring awareness to the beauty and wonder right here on Planet Earth. Now, how about you?” he said.
To this end, OPPO would like to invite you to capture the one thing you would like to preserve until 2121 and participate in its Malaysia Future Photography Contest from which ends June 25. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Here are some photography know-how using the OPPO Find X3 Pro to get you started:
1. Capturing details
Taking close-ups is a wonderful way of showcasing the incredible details of nature – be it our national flower the hibiscus or interestingly shaped foliage like the venus flytrap – the microlens on the FindX3 Pro can magnify the object up to 60 times, capturing the intricacy not visible to the naked eye.
2. Shoot in the best light
Most nature photography would be outside in natural light, and a specific time of day could make the photos more captivating. When the sun is low in the sky, the golden hour can create a magical moment, like dappled light through trees.
3. Perfect exposure with AI Highlight video
Good photos require the right amount of exposure. Although one can prevent overexposure when taking the photo by tapping the screen to lock in the focus or swipe up or down to adjust the exposure, opting for an advanced phone could prevent post-production difficulties.
The AI Highlight Video feature of the FindX3 Pro automatically switches between Ultra-Night Video and Live HDR – adapting to real-life light conditions, and allowing for worry-free videography.
4. Ultra-wide angle lens
How to make your main subject stand out when photographing a cluttered or dark background? Lying on the ground or shooting from a very low angle is always worth trying!
However, with the 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera of FindX3 Pro, the free-form surface lens adds complexity to the design and allows light directions to be controlled more precisely – producing zero distortion and correct temperature consistency images.
5. Edit carefully with AI Palette
Now it's time for the most important part – the editing. It requires skill to find the right feel while using the right adjustments will enhance the image. The AI Palettes on the FindX3 Pro can learn the colour profile of any picture on your phone and turn it into a custom filter without the need of downloading third party apps – creating professionally edited images in just a few taps.
6. Composition is important
Great photographs always tell a story. Beautiful landscapes, animals or bodies of water all require great composition and a great one draws attention to your main subject. Try using empty space to emphasise your subject.
When taking the smartphone for a spin, it's 30W AirVOOC wireless charging – that can fully charge the phone in just 80 minutes – coupled with 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 wired flash charging, would come in handy during breaks.
Furthermore, its 0.35mm ultra-thin vapour chamber runs across the motherboard and battery areas, ensuring energy-efficient through encouraging heat dissipation.
One of the first to be powered by Qualcomms – a new flagship Snapdragon 888 processor that supports 5G connectivity – the smartphone’s most exciting feature is the collaboration between OPPO and award-winning composer Hans Zimmer that made its ringtones, notifications and alarms specifically for the FindX3 Pro.
