Featured Usage Tips

Use Shortcuts to Access Frequently Used Features

Touch and hold an app icon to display a menu of frequently used features for quick access. You can

also touch and hold a feature and drag it to your home screen to create a shortcut.

If you touch and hold an app icon and a shortcut is not created, the app does not support home

screen shortcuts.

Quickly access frequently used app features: Touch and hold an app icon on your home screen,

and then touch a frequently used feature to access it. Each app supports up to four frequently used

features. These are preset by the app and cannot be changed. For example, to take a sele, touch and

hold the camera icon, and then touch Sele in the pop-up menu.

Add shortcuts to your home screen: Touch and hold an app icon on your home screen to bring up

the menu. Touch and hold the desired feature, and then drag it to your home screen to create a

shortcut. For example, you can add a shortcut for the camera's sele feature for quick access to the

sele camera.

Camera Tips

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.

Use Assistive Grid to Compose Your Photos

Ever get annoyed that your photos turn out looking skewed or the subject always seems to be off-

center? You can use your camera's assistive grid feature to help you line up the perfect shot.

To select an assistive grid, open Camera and touch to enter Settings. Then touch Assistive

grid and select the type of grid or lines you want to use.

Rule of thirds composition method: Use either Grid or Phi grid. The four intersection points in the

grid are the focus areas of the picture. Place the subject of your photo on one of the intersection

points to achieve a good composition.

Exciting Features

Spiral composition method: Use either Fibonacci spiral (left) or Fibonacci spiral (right). Place

the subject of your photo within the centre of the spiral.

Take Moving Pictures

Want to make your photos more interesting and dynamic? Take a moving picture and prolong life's

wonderful moments.

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

button is pressed. When browsing these pictures in Gallery, you can not only view the static picture

taken the moment you press the shutter button, but also play the dynamic picture and sound.

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

capture.

View moving pictures: The captured moving picture will be saved to Gallery in JPG format. Go to

Gallery > Albums > Camera. Touch pictures with icon, and touch on the top of the

picture to view the 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, touch the moving photo you want to share,

then touch , select a sharing method and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the

sharing.

Exciting Features

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 photo effects. When you share moving pictures to third-party apps or

unsupported devices, the moving pictures will be displayed as static images.
