How to enable T9 on Meizu regardless of the model. How to enable T9 on Meizu regardless of model Software and Media

An updated representative of the company's most affordable smartphone line, now in a metal case

It seems to be very recently affordable smartphone in the company's lineup, Meizu M5, saw the light, and the manufacturer is already bringing it to market updated version M5s. This model is an analogue of the M5, but is designed to satisfy the taste of those users who prefer reliability. metal case polycarbonate, since the M5 was released in a plastic case. But in general, this is still the same compact and affordable mobile device that is equipped with fast scanner fingerprint, can work in LTE networks, has a slot for cards microSD memory, capacious battery at 3000 mAh, and even supports fast charging.

Contents of delivery

The packaging of Meizu's latest mobile products is consistent. It is almost completely devoid of inscriptions and pictures of a white rectangular box made of hard matte cardboard with only one logo on the lid and a sticker with basic information on the bottom of the box. Everything is stylishly designed and of high quality. Inside, all the contents are laid out in separate cells.

The set consists of a rather thick connection cable and a powerful mains adapter with an output current of 2 A and a variable voltage of 5/9/12 V. The key for extracting cards is attached to a cardboard folder with paper documentation.

Appearance and usability

Meizu M5s received a nice case, made in a typical for the latest mobile devices Meizu design. Modern smartphones of the company from the top level to the most affordable are almost identical to each other and differ only in size and materials.

In this case, metal with plastic was used - the cheapest option, when not only the rear inserts, but the entire end parts are made of plastic. That is, here all cutouts for connectors, grilles and holes are made in plastic, and not in metal, the metal here is only the middle part of the back cover.

To the credit of the manufacturer, he managed to choose the color and texture in such a way that the differences between these parts are practically not noticeable, but to the touch, of course, plastic differs from metal.

As for the size, in this regard, by modern standards, Meizu M5s can be called, if not compact, then certainly not a large mobile device. The thickness of the case is small, the mass is also, the corner parts are noticeably rounded in plan, due to this, the smartphone fits comfortably in any pocket, it has no sharp corners and edges.

Both the metal part of the surface and the plastic one are absolutely not slippery and not easily soiled, there are no fingerprints left on them, the device does not slip out of the hands. There is no special need to put on a cover here, and you don’t want to close a rather attractive case at all. The smartphone is really good-looking, well-cut, all the details are clearly adjusted to each other, the case is monolithic, and there is a feeling that it will keep a presentable appearance for a long time.

To install cards, a side slot is standardly provided, it is a hybrid, that is, two slots can be used to install either two Nano-SIM SIM cards, or one SIM card and one microSD memory card. Hot swap supported.

Mechanical power and volume control buttons are installed on the opposite side face, on the right. The keys are large, stand out noticeably, easily groped blindly, the move is elastic, the response is clear, there are no complaints about these elements.

The entire front panel is covered with 2.5D glass with sloping edges. Sensors are usually installed above the screen, a peephole front camera without its own flash, and also has led indicator events. This small dot of a milky color begins to pulsate in an unhurried rhythm only after a missed call, the indicator in Meizu smartphones does not react to the charging process.

In the lower part under the screen, as standard for Meizu, one mechanical key is installed, but there are no adjacent buttons, even touch ones. A fingerprint sensor pad is inscribed in the button; to unlock the smartphone, you need to press it. There are no complaints about the operation of the fingerprint scanner, recognition is fast and clear, you can register up to five fingers.

The rear panel contains a non-protruding camera module and a very bright dual dual-tone flash. On a hard surface, the smartphone lies steadily, does not sway when you touch the screen.

The sound comes out of the main speaker at the bottom, covered by one of the symmetrical sectors of the grille. Behind the second speaker may be hidden. Here, in the middle, there is a universal Micro-USB connector that supports connection in OTG mode.

The upper end is habitually given over to a 3.5 mm headphone jack, but the opening of the second, auxiliary microphone on the Meizu M5s case could not be found.

Meizu M5s is available in four color options, but only three of them have entered the Russian official retail: dark gray, silver and gold. The pink variant is apparently for Russian market not intended. The front panel under the glass is always white or black, Meizu never paints the facades of its smartphones in the general color of the case.

Screen

Meizu M5s is equipped with an IPS display with 2.5D glass with sloping edges. Its physical dimensions are 66 × 116 mm with a diagonal of 5.2 inches. The resolution is 1280×720, the dot density is about 282 ppi. The frame around the screen has a total width of just over 3.5 mm on the sides, and about 16 mm each at the bottom and top.

Display brightness can be adjusted manually or set automatic settings based on the operation of the ambient light sensor. The AnTuTu test diagnoses support for 5 simultaneous multitouch touches. Unlike older models, such as the same M5 Note, there is no eye protection mode to prevent eye fatigue with blue light intensity filtering.

Detailed examination using measuring instruments held the editor of the sections "Monitors" and "Projectors and TV" Alexey Kudryavtsev. Here is his expert opinion on the screen of the test sample.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface, resistant to scratches. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-glare properties of the screen are no worse than those of the Google Nexus 7 (2013) screen (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, here is a photo in which a white surface is reflected in the off screens (on the left is Nexus 7, on the right is Meizu M5s, then they can be distinguished by size):

The screen of the Meizu M5s is just as dark (brightness from the photos is 117 for both). Doubling of reflected objects in Meizu screen M5s is very weak, this indicates that there is no air gap between the layers of the screen (more specifically, between the outer glass and the surface of the LCD matrix) (OGS type screen - One Glass Solution). Due to the smaller number of borders (glass/air type) with very different refractive indices, such screens look better in conditions of intense external illumination, but their repair in case of cracked external glass is much more expensive, since the entire screen has to be changed. On the outer surface of the screen there is a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating (better than the Nexus 7 in terms of efficiency), so fingerprints are removed much more easily, and appear at a slower rate than in the case of ordinary glass.

With manual brightness control and with a white field displayed in full screen, the maximum brightness value was about 400 cd/m², the minimum was 2 cd/m². The maximum brightness is quite high, and given the excellent anti-reflective properties, readability even on a sunny day outdoors should be at a decent level. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. In the presence of automatic brightness control by light sensor (it is located to the left of the front camera eye). AT automatic mode as the ambient light conditions change, the brightness of the screen both increases and decreases. This function depends on the position of the brightness slider. If it is at 100%, then in complete darkness the auto-brightness function reduces the brightness to 110 cd / m² (bright), in an artificially lit office (about 550 lux) sets it to 270 cd / m² (suitable), in a very bright environment (corresponds to lighting on a clear day outdoors, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 lux or a little more) the brightness rises to 400 cd / m² (to the maximum - it is necessary); if the adjustment is about 50%, then the values ​​​​are as follows: 30, 180 and 400 cd / m² (suitable values), the regulator at 0% - 2, 60 and 400 cd / m² (the first two values ​​​​are underestimated, which is logical). It turns out that the auto-brightness function works adequately and to some extent allows the user to customize their work to individual requirements. At any brightness level, there is no significant backlight modulation, so there is no screen flicker.

AT this smartphone IPS type matrix is ​​used. Micrographs show a typical IPS subpixel structure:

For comparison, you can see the gallery of microphotographs of screens used in mobile technology.

The screen has good viewing angles without significant color shift even at large deviations of the view from the perpendicular to the screen and without inverting (except for the very darkest when deviating diagonally to three corners) shades. For comparison, here are photographs in which the same images are displayed on the screens of Meizu M5s and Nexus 7, while the brightness of the screens was initially set to about 200 cd / m², and the color balance on the camera was forcibly switched to 6500 K.

White field perpendicular to the screens:

Note the good uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field.

And a test picture:

The colors on the screen of the Meizu M5s have a natural saturation, the color balance of the Nexus 7 and the tested screen is noticeably different.

Now at an angle of about 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors have not changed much on both screens, the contrast has decreased, but also not very much.

And the white box:

The brightness at an angle at the screens decreased (at least 5 times, based on the difference in shutter speed), and decreased approximately the same. The black field, when deviated diagonally, is lightened weakly and acquires a purple hue. The photos below demonstrate this (the brightness of the white areas in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the screens is the same!):

And from another angle:

When viewed perpendicularly, the uniformity of the black field is good:

Contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is normal - about 800:1. The response time for the black-white-black transition is 24 ms (14 ms on + 10 ms off). The transition between grayscale 25% and 75% (according to the numerical value of the color) and back in total takes 38 ms. The gamma curve constructed from 32 points with an equal interval according to the numerical value of the shade of gray did not reveal a blockage either in the highlights or in the shadows. The approximate exponent is 2.29, which is slightly higher than the standard value of 2.2. In this case, the real gamma curve slightly deviates from the power dependence:

We did not find the presence of dynamic adjustment of the backlight brightness in accordance with the nature of the displayed image, which is very good.

The color gamut is sRGB:

The spectra show that the matrix filters moderately mix the components to each other:

As a result, the colors have a natural saturation and hue. The balance of shades on the gray scale is average, since the color temperature is much higher than the standard 6500 K and grows towards darker shades, but the deviation from the blackbody spectrum (ΔE) is below 10, which is considered an acceptable indicator for a consumer device. At the same time, ΔE changes little from shade to shade - this has a positive effect on the visual assessment of color balance. (The darkest areas of the gray scale can be ignored, since the color balance does not matter much there, and the measurement error of color characteristics at low brightness is large.)

This device has the ability to correct the color balance by adjusting the hue.

Curves in the charts above Without corr. correspond to the results without any color balance correction, and the curves Warm- data received after the slider is moved to the extreme position warm. It can be seen that the white point hardly changes, but as the lightness of the hue decreases, the color temperature and ΔE change very much. It looks disgusting, so it makes no sense to perform a correction.

To summarize: the screen has a fairly high maximum brightness and has excellent anti-glare properties, so the device can be used outdoors without any problems even on a sunny summer day. In complete darkness, the brightness can be lowered to a comfortable level. It is permissible to use the mode with automatic brightness adjustment, which works adequately. The advantages of the screen include an effective oleophobic coating, the absence of an air gap in the layers of the screen and flicker, good black stability to the deviation of the gaze from the perpendicular to the screen plane and the sRGB color gamut. There are probably no significant shortcomings. The screen quality can be considered high.

Camera

The front module here has a 5 MP sensor with a four-element wide-angle lens and f / 2.0 aperture, with a fixed focus and no flash of its own. There is manual mode settings, exactly the same as the main camera (light sensitivity up to ISO 1600, shutter speed up to 1/5000 s, white balance, exposure compensation scale, saturation, contrast).

The camera shoots well for the selfie level: there are no complaints about detailing and color reproduction, sharpness in the center of the frame is also high, the sensitivity is high, the wide dynamic range allows you to find an acceptable balance in manual mode even with fairly bright backlight.

The main camera uses a module with a 13-megapixel matrix and a five-element lens with a maximum aperture of f / 2.2, it is equipped with fast phase detection autofocus. The flash here is very bright, two-tone, but there is no stabilization system.

In the settings, there are two control modes, automatic and manual, as well as several additional ones, such as HDR, portrait beautification, panorama, QR code scanning, slow motion, and several others. If you turn on the manual mode, then there will be sliders with variable shutter speeds up to (1/5000 s), ISO (up to ISO 1600), manual focus, white balance, exposure compensation scale. In all modes, it is possible to select the metering point manually. The green frame in the frame is responsible for the focus point, and the white circle is for the metering point. To equalize exposure to certain object you need to move the round frame to this object, and the camera will set the desired exposure.

You can't transfer camera control using the Camera2 API third party applications, there is no possibility of saving pictures in RAW.

The camera can shoot video in the maximum resolution of Full HD @30 fps, there is a slow motion mode, there is no stabilization function. In general, the camera copes well with video shooting: sharpness, color reproduction and detailing are normal, brightness is also enough. There are practically no complaints about sound recording: the sound is clear, loud, the noise reduction system almost always adequately copes with wind noise.

	The text is well done.
	The camera does a good job with macro photography.
	Apart from the trees, the sharpness of the plans is not bad.
	The program simply dissolves small branches.
	The car numbers are clearly visible.
	Good sharpness in the central part of the frame.

The camera can be called good, although it has enough shortcomings. Blurred areas often appear in the corners, and for some reason the program does not digest small branches, which is why incomprehensible translucent clouds appear in their place. Especially often, a similar fate awaits the trees at the edges of the frame, while in the center they have a chance to remain intact. In general, the sharpness in the center, and sometimes at the edges, is quite good, so the camera can handle documentary shooting quite well.

Telephone part and communications

Communication capabilities of Meizu M5s include support for LTE Cat.4 (up to 150 Mbps), five LTE frequency bands are supported, including 3 FDD LTE bands (band 1, 3, 7) and two TD LTE bands (band 38 and 40 ). This model do not support LTE frequency 800 MHz (Band 20), which is best suited for indoor communications as well as in sparsely populated areas, this can be a particular problem for users in regions away from cities. Within the city limits of the Moscow region, the device behaves confidently, the quality of signal reception does not cause any complaints.

The smartphone also supports both Wi-Fi bands (2.4 and 5 GHz), there is Bluetooth 4.0 BLE. You can organize a wireless access point via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth channels. NFC module not in the device. Micro-USB connector supports connection external devices in USB OTG mode. The navigation module works with both GPS (with A-GPS) and domestic Glonass, but without the support of Chinese Beidou. The first satellites during a cold start are detected within the first minute. The clarity of positioning is not satisfactory, but as for the speed of work, we have also seen faster navigation modules in smartphones. There is also a magnetic compass in the device, which is necessary for navigation programs.

The smartphone does not support dual 3G/4G SIM cards at the same time. That is, for example, the SIM card of the Tele2 operator in Moscow will not work in 3G for voice communication if another slot is assigned for data transmission in 4G. The interface in Meizu smartphones, like that of Huawei, traditionally does not allow you to select a specific card for voice calls and SMS in advance, only during the connection. Only a data card can be assigned in advance. Cards work in Dual mode SIM Dual Standby, there is only one radio modem.

Software and multimedia

Used as a software platform Google Android version 6.0 with its own proprietary shell Flyme OS version 5. This is the latest version so far, but it is no longer new, it has been used in all Meizu smartphones for a long time, we met with it in the flagship Meizu MX6 and Meizu Pro 6 Plus. The shell has become even lighter compared to the fourth version, all interface and application icons have been redrawn, new animation options have appeared, and design themes have been added. AT new version interface, a special Editor's Choice section has appeared, which advises the most common programs, and also allows you to download and install google apps. And it is necessary to do this, because now the purchased brand new Meizu smartphone does not even have the usual store installed initially. Google Play. Additional programs, as usual, almost none, only preset file manager and phone manager - a comprehensive utility responsible for security, memory management, performance, etc. There is an interesting program with tools: a magnifying glass, a flashlight, a ruler, a compass and a mirror. Flashlight, by the way, can work in flashing SOS mode. The standard default keyboard does not support swipe input like Swype, but usually the user is immediately given the opportunity to switch to the preinstalled TouchPal keyboard with a much wider range of features, including swipe input, custom dictionaries, Reserve copy, and even with its own TouchPal cloud.

To listen to music, you use your own branded audio player with the usual set of settings in the form of preset equalizer values, which can only be used with headphones connected. Both in the headphones and in the dynamics the device sounds average: the sound is clear, without impurities, the volume margin is not excessive, high frequencies predominate.

There is no FM radio in the smartphone. The recorder demonstrates satisfactory sensitivity and is quite suitable for recording lectures.

Performance

The hardware platform is based on a single-chip system MediaTek MT6753, made using 28-nanometer technology. The structure of this SoC includes eight 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 cores with a frequency of up to 1.3 GHz. The dual-core GPU Mali-T720 is responsible for graphics processing. The amount of RAM is 3 GB, and the built-in flash memory is 16 or 32 GB. About 25 GB is initially free for the needs of the user in the 32 GB flash version. Expandable memory by installing microSD cards yes, but then you have to remove one of the SIM-cards. In addition, applications cannot be installed on the memory card here. It is possible to connect external flash drives in USB OTG mode.

MediaTek MT6753 is not a very productive platform, it is below the confident average level, represented, for example, by Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC and MediaTek MT6755 (Helio P10). Here, the level is rather closer to the weaker Qualcomm Snapdragon 430, but even that is slightly ahead of today's heroine in all respects. Nevertheless, the smartphone confidently copes with the tasks set so far, there are no slowdowns in the interface, as in games. One has only to take into account that the games here cannot be presented in maximum quality, since the display resolution of the Meizu M5s is only 720p.

Testing in comprehensive AnTuTu and GeekBench tests:

For convenience, we have summarized all the results obtained by us when testing a smartphone in the latest versions of popular benchmarks in tables. Several other devices from different segments are usually added to the table, also tested on similar latest versions benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the obtained dry numbers). Unfortunately, within a single comparison, it is impossible to present the results from different versions benchmarks, so many worthy and relevant models remain “behind the scenes” due to the fact that they once passed the “obstacle course” on previous versions of test programs.

Testing the graphics subsystem in 3DMark gaming tests, GFXBenchmark and Bonsai Benchmark:

When testing in 3DMark for the highest performing smartphones, it is now possible to run the application in Unlimited mode, where the rendering resolution is fixed at 720p and VSync is disabled (due to which the speed can rise above 60 fps).

	Meizu M5s (MediaTek MT6753)	Honor 6X (HiSilicon Kirin 655)	Lenovo K6 Note (Qualcomm Snapdragon 430)	Asus Zenfone 3 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 625)	Umi Plus (MediaTek Helio P10 (MT6755))
3DMark Ice Storm Sling Shot ES 3.1 (more is better)	199	378	288	466	415
GFXBenchmark Manhattan ES 3.1 (Onscreen, fps)	7	5	4	6	5

GFXBenchmark T-Rex (Onscreen, fps)	20	19	15	22	17
GFXBenchmark T-Rex (1080p Offscreen, fps)	12	19	16	23	17

Browser cross-platform tests:

As for benchmarks for evaluating the speed of the javascript engine, you should always make allowances for the fact that the results in them depend significantly on the browser in which they are launched, so that the comparison can only be truly correct on the same OS and browsers, and this possibility is available when testing not always. In the case of Android OS, we always try to use Google Chrome.

AndroBench memory performance test results:

thermal images

Below is a thermal image rear surface obtained after 10 minutes of running a battery test in the GFXBenchmark program:

It can be seen that the heating is more localized in the upper part of the device, which apparently corresponds to the location of the SoC chip. According to the heat chamber, the maximum heating was 38 degrees (at an ambient temperature of 24 degrees), this is not very much.

Video playback

To test the "omnivorous" when playing video (including support for various codecs, containers and special features, such as subtitles), we used the most common formats, which make up the bulk of the content available on the Web. Note that for mobile devices it is important to have support for hardware video decoding at the chip level, since it is most often impossible to process modern versions using processor cores alone. Also, do not expect everything from a mobile device to decode everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to the PC, and no one is going to challenge it. All results are summarized in a table.

According to the test results, traditionally for Meizu smartphones, the hero of the review turned out to be equipped with all the necessary decoders that are needed to fully play most of the most common multimedia files on the network, including audio (AC3).

Further testing of video playback performed Alexey Kudryavtsev.

We did not find an MHL interface, as well as Mobility DisplayPort, in this smartphone, so we had to limit ourselves to testing the output of video files on the screen of the device itself. To do this, we used a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle moving one division per frame (see “Methodology for testing video signal playback and display devices. Version 1 (for mobile devices) Red marks indicate possible problems associated with the playback of the respective files.

According to the criterion for displaying frames, the quality of playing video files on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, since in most cases frames (or groups of frames) can (but are not required to) be displayed with more or less uniform alternation of intervals and without frame drops. The screen refresh rate is 58 Hz, so in the case of 60 fps files, at least two frames per second are skipped. When playing video files with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels (720p) on a smartphone screen, the image of the video file itself is displayed exactly along the border of the screen, one to one in pixels, that is, in its original resolution. The range of brightness displayed on the screen differs from the standard range of 16-235: in the shadows, a dozen shades merge with black, and in the highlights, several shades of "whiter than white" are displayed, which reduces the brightness and contrast of the image of a typical video file.

Battery Life

Fixed accumulator battery, installed in Meizu M5s, has a capacity of 3000 mAh. This is far from the most capacious to date. mobile battery, respectively, the results of the smartphone in all tests are also average. In real usage scenarios, with a normal average mode of operation, the hero of the review is able to calmly last a day without recharging, but it’s better not to count on much and put the device on charge every night.

Testing has traditionally been conducted at normal power levels without power saving features.

Continuous reading in the Moon + Reader program (with a standard, light theme) at a minimum comfortable brightness level (brightness was set to 100 cd / m²) with auto scrolling lasted until the battery was completely discharged for about 13 hours, and with continuous viewing of video in high quality (720p) with the same brightness level home network Wi-Fi device operates for about 10 hours. In 3D game mode, the smartphone can work for almost 4 hours.

Smartphone supports fast charging mCharge. Thanks to it, it does not take much time for the device to fully charge the battery. From the supplied network adapter, the smartphone is charged for a maximum of 1 hour 10 minutes with a current of 1.5 A at a voltage of 9 V.

Outcome

The most affordable Meizu smartphone, the Meizu M5, went on sale in Russia at a price of 11,000 rubles. The M5s version at the start of sales is offered at 3,000 rubles more expensive: for 14,000 rubles with 16 GB of flash memory and for 15,000 rubles with 32 GB of flash memory. However, at the time of the publication of the article, few official proposals were drowning in a sea of, let's say, alternative proposals that reduced the cost of new items to 8 and 9 thousand rubles, respectively.

The Meizu smartphone turned out to be decent; despite the positioning and low price, this device is not inferior to many mid-range smartphones - except for the screen resolution. The display here has a resolution of only 720p, and this somewhat reduces the level of the smartphone compared, for example, with the same Meizu M5 Note, which is positioned precisely as a strong midranger and costs more.

Otherwise, the Meizu M5s has a solid body with a nice design, good hardware stuffing and quite high-quality cameras for this level, which is important. Sound, autonomy level and communication capabilities quite satisfactory. Solid performance, coupled with the absence of any frank flaws and marriage, allow us to consider Meizu M5s as one of the most interesting products in its class and its price category.

Meizu smartphones are known for their excellent cameras, but the quality of photos depends significantly on having a properly working flash. It allows you to shoot in the evening and at night, and in the devices of this manufacturer it is used for lighting when you turn on the Flashlight application. However, frequent use of this function may damage the part, as a result of which it will stop working and the flash in the Meizu phone will need to be replaced.

Many users complain about the vulnerability of the LED flash, several hours of constantly active flashlight mode can lead to the burning of the LED. Resoldering the contacts will not solve the problem and you need to change the LED. In some cases, the component stops functioning due to a software bug. It often occurs after an incorrectly performed or incomplete flashing operating system devices. Sometimes the LED flash goes out randomly when shooting video for a long time, fix this problem impossible, because this refers to the hardware marriage of the smartphone, you need to let the gadget cool down.

Signs of damage can be two completely opposite states: when the flash does not turn on and when it does not go out. The main factors that lead to a malfunction are: severe physical damage when dropped, liquid entering the housing, wrong settings flashes, operating system failure. LED flash malfunction occurs due to a malfunction in the part mechanism, the need to replace the lamp, and a malfunction of the board components.

It is better to entrust the replacement of the flash in the Meise phone to qualified craftsmen. The owners of the gadget will be completely confident in the reliability and quality of the procedure if they contact service center Remobi.

CONVENIENT CAMERA OF MEIZU SMARTPHONES

Today we will tell you about several convenient options of the CAMERA application on MEIZU smartphones in version FLYME 4.5.x. If you carefully studied the FAQ and the Smartphone Instructions application, you won’t discover anything new for yourself. Otherwise, you can make working with a smartphone camera much more convenient!

SHOOTING OPTIONS

Did you know that you can take a picture in the MEIZU smartphone camera not only by pressing the shutter button on the smartphone screen. You can also take a picture by pressing the volume button. Or, by pointing the focus point on the screen, do not remove your finger from the screen, and a frame will be taken in a second. The camera of MEIZU smartphones is very convenient even for shooting with one hand. What's the best way for you to shoot? Decide for yourself!

FOREVA SQUARE PHOTOS!

Most recently, the Instagram application allowed to publish not only square photos, but also widescreen ones. But if you are a follower of old traditions and want to get square photos on your smartphone, no problem! In the Camera app, double-tap the screen and the viewfinder will turn square and the camera will take a square photo. You can safely immediately publish to Instagram in the old, “warm, tube” square size, without cropping.

CONTINUOUS SHOOTING

Do you want to take many frames in a row at once, burst shooting? Easily! Just hold down the shutter key in the Camera app. Get dozens of shots in a row. And in the MEIZU Smartphone Gallery app, they will be sorted together so as not to clog up your photo archive. If you wish, you can choose the most successful photos, the rest will be deleted.

SEPARATE METERING

In the settings of the Camera app, turn on the "Metering section". Now, while focusing on the desired point on the screen, without changing the focus position, you can change the exposure point, making the frame lighter or darker, simply by grabbing and dragging to Right place exposure circle from focus point square. Choose the optimal exposure while keeping focus on the right subject!

LEVEL AND GRID

Forget the jokes about "the horizon is littered". In the Camera app settings, activate the "Level" or "Grid" options to always have a flat horizon line. Grid - will cover the entire viewfinder with an even green grid (of course, it will not be in the picture). And Level will display a glowing semicircle around the shutter button, which will show whether you are holding the smartphone evenly. The action is similar to the construction tool "level".

GROUP PHOTO IS NOT A PROBLEM

In the settings of the Camera application, choose how long after pressing the shutter button: 3, 5 or 10 seconds, the smartphone should take a picture. Line up your friends, mount your smartphone on a tripod or secure it in some other way, and have time to join your friends for a fun shot with you! After shooting, do not forget to turn this option off again.

SPY SHOOTING

How can I turn off the camera shutter sound so that I can take a picture without sound? We go into the settings of the smartphone, then we go along the path: sound-> system sound-> camera shutter. We turn it off, and the camera starts shooting silently.

And also recall that switching between the shooting modes of the Camera of MEIZU smartphones is carried out in two ways: either by scrolling the modes to the right or left, or by clicking on the icon of the list of modes, in which all modes will be immediately presented with large buttons to select the one you need.
