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

Camera Tips
Use Time-Lapse to Create a Short Video

video. Capture and watch nature in its entirety: blooming owers, drifting clouds, or even star trails
against the night sky.

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.

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.

2Touch at the bottom of the screen to congure 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.

moments.

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

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

photos.

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

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.
