Featured Usage Tips

Change the Input Method

You can change the input method on your device as desired.

Switch the input method: Open Settings, go to System > Language & input > Default

keyboard, and select an input method.

Set a Lock Screen Password to Protect Your Privacy

Your Tablet stores a lot of sensitive information, such as personal photos, contact information,

banking apps (for example, Alipay). Set a lock screen password so that a password is required each

time you unlock your Tablet. A lock screen password helps to protect your private information if your

Tablet is lost or accessed by an unauthorised user.

Set a lock screen password: Open Settings, go to Security & privacy > Lock screen

password, and set the type of lock screen password you prefer.

lSet a PIN: A PIN number is a sequence of digits. Entering a PIN to unlock your Tablet is quick and

simple. For better security, use a long sequence of random numbers as your PIN. Go to Set lock

screen password, follow the prompts to set up a PIN. Alternatively, touch CHANGE UNLOCK

METHOD, and set 4-digit PIN or Custom PIN.

lSet a pattern: Unlock your Tablet by drawing a preset pattern on the screen. For better security,

use a pattern that includes overlapping line segments. Go to Set lock screen password >

CHANGE UNLOCK METHOD > Pattern and draw the same pattern twice. The pattern must

connect at least 4 dots.

lSet a password: A password made up of numbers, letters, and special characters is more secure

than a PIN or pattern. For better security, use a password with 8 or more characters that includes

numbers, letters, and special characters. Be sure to memorize the password so that you don't get

locked out of your Tablet if you forget it. Go to Set lock screen password > CHANGE UNLOCK

METHOD > Password, follow the prompts to set up a password.

Lock the Screen to Quickly Secure Your Tablet

If you don't use your Tablet for a set period of time, the screen will turn off and lock. As long as the

screen stays on, you can use your Tablet without needing to unlock the screen. Lock your screen

when you are not using your Tablet to protect your privacy and prevent mistaken inputs.

Set a lock screen password to help protect your privacy. You can lock your device in the following

ways:

Lock the screen instantly with the Power button: Press the Power button to lock the screen at

any time.

Lock the screen with one-touch screen lock: Pinch two ngers together on the home screen to

enter the editing screen. Touch Widgets > Screen Lock and add the Screen Lock widget to your

home screen. This helps reduce wear and tear on your power button. After leaving the home screen

editing mode, touch the Screen Lock widget to instantly lock your screen. To lock your screen this

way, rst switch to the home screen page where the Screen Lock widget is located.

Camera Tips

Use Time-Lapse to Create a Short Video

Use Time-lapse mode to capture images over a long period of time and condense them into a short

video. Capture and watch nature in its entirety: blooming owers, drifting clouds, or even star trails

against the night sky.

lRecording a time-lapse video continuously for long period of time may consume battery power

and use up storage space.

lPlace your device on a tripod or at surface to keep it steady while recording.

lBefore you start, ensure that the scene is well lit and the camera is in focus. Position the

camera carefully to t relevant background objects as much as possible.

1Go to Camera > More > Time-lapse, and touch to start recording a time-lapse video.

2Touch to nish recording.

3You can then go to Gallery to play your time-lapse video.

For best and optimal result, the recording and playback speeds are automatically adjusted by

the system.

Exciting Features

Use Panorama Mode to Take Panoramic Photos

Panoramas provide a wider viewing angle than ordinary photos, letting you take sweeping landscape

shots.

To capture a panorama shot, the camera takes multiple photos of objects within our visual eld and

stitches them together into a single photo.

When taking a panorama, nd a wide, open space that is some distance away from the subject

and try to avoid backgrounds that are all in one colour.

1Go to Camera > More > Panorama.

2Touch at the bottom of the screen to congure the shooting direction.

3Hold your Tablet steady, and then touch to start shooting. Slowly move the Tablet in the

direction indicated, holding the device steady and ensuring that the arrow stays level with the

centre line.

4Touch when you are nished. The camera will automatically stitch the photos together to

create a panorama.

Take Moving Pictures

Make your photos more dynamic and fun by taking moving pictures to prolong life's wonderful

moments.

With moving pictures, you can record a scene approximately one second before and after pressing the

shutter button. When browsing photos in Gallery, view the static picture taken or play a dynamic

moving picture effect and sound.

Take moving pictures: Open Camera, touch on the top of your screen, then touch to

take a moving picture.

View moving pictures: Moving pictures will be saved to Gallery in JPG format. Go to Gallery >

Albums > Camera, touch pictures with the icon, and touch on the top of the picture to

Exciting Features

view a dynamic effect. The moving picture automatically stops after a complete playback. You can

also touch the screen to stop the playback.

Share moving pictures: Go to Gallery > Albums > Camera, touch the moving picture you

want to share, then touch to select a sharing method.

Moving pictures can be shared directly through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Huawei Share, and more. The

receiving device must be a Huawei device that supports the capture of moving pictures in order to

play the moving picture effect. When you share moving pictures to third-party apps or

incompatible devices, moving pictures will be displayed as static images.

Audio Control: Take Photos Using Your Voice

Want to take a photo without having to touch the shutter button? Use voice commands to take

photos.

Go to Camera > > Audio control. Enable Audio control and select the voice command

you wish to use to take photos. You can now say the command to take a photo.

Timed Shots: Take Group Photos That Include Everyone

Want to take a group photo without having to ask a stranger for help? Try using the timer function.

Line up your shot and touch the shutter button. The camera will give you some extra time to get into

the shot before taking the photo. Take group photos that include everyone without having to ask a

stranger for help.

Open Camera, touch , and then touch Timer to select the time you want.

Exciting Features

Light Painting: Shoot Light Trails

Light painting mode automatically sets a slow shutter speed to take long-exposure shots of light trails.

This mode produces stunning photos that have an ethereal quality.

Light painting mode offers four creative shooting modes for different subjects and light conditions:

lTrafc trails: Captures light trails created by cars at night.

lLight grafti: Captures trails created by a moving light source in low-light conditions.

lSilky water: Captures silky-smooth photos of waterfalls and owing water.

lStar trails: Captures stunning photos of star trails in the night sky.

Exciting Features

HDR Mode: Make Your Photos Sharper

When taking a back-lit photo or shooting scenery or architecture with high light contrast, HDR mode

can help you improve the effects of light and shadows in your photos, giving your photos sharper

details. When HDR mode is enabled, the camera will use different exposure settings to quickly take

several shots and combine them. The result is a photo with sharper details in bright and mid-tone

areas.

Go to Camera > More > HDR, hold your Tablet still and touch to take a photo.

To minimise camera movement during shooting, it is recommended that you use a tripod to

stabilise your Tablet.
