Into the "Eye of Light"
The Huawei P60 Pro has three rear cameras. Huawei calls the rear camera trio the "Eye of Light". The primary 48MP camera has a variable aperture. If you think that the tech sounds familiar, it's because we've seen the same tech on the Huawei Mate 50 Pro. The camera setup are as follows: 48MP (with variable aperture) + 48MP (telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom) + 13MP (ultrawide). Finally, there's the XMAGE, Huawei's in-house image processing technology which was first introduced with the Mate 50 Series, it is also available on the P60 Pro.
Camera Details
The 48MP primary camera is a Sony IMX888 sensor with a Quad-Bayer RYYB color filter, 1.17 µm pixel size, an auto-adjustable f/1.4 - f/4.0 aperture, 1/1.43 inch sensor size, OIS and 24.5mm focal length. It supports 4k video recording up to 60fps, and 2k (full HD) video recording up to 960 fps (slow motion).
The primary camera, or the Ultra Lighting Camera as Huawei chooses to call it, authomatically selects the best aperture for shooting based on the lighting condition. In Pro-mode however, the user can manually select a particular aperture from 10 different pre-sets. In case you didn't know, the primary camera is the large circular camera franked by two smaller cameras which you can find at the back of the Huawei P60 Pro. The highest f/1.4 aperture setting assists the P60 Pro in capturing the most light while taking a photo, compared to the rest of the aperture presets. This enables the subject to be captured in details while the background retains a blurry effect. The lowest f/4.0 aperture setting captures the least light compared to the rest of the aperture presets. This makes for a sharper background when a shot is taken.
The second 48MP camera is a telephoto camera with a Quad-Bayer RYYB color filter, f/2.1 aperture, 3-axis OIS aka sensor-shift stabilization (for capturing stable shots even when the phone is in motion), 95mm focal length based on tests (90mm based on official spec sheet). What is rather special about this camera is its wide f/2.1 aperture, which is rare for a 90mm lens and its ability to focus and capture clear shots at a distance as close as 13cm😳.
The 13MP Ultrawide camera features f/2.2 aperture, 1/3.0 inch sensor size and 13 mm focal length. It is autofocus enabled so you can take clear close-up shots too.
When you look closer at the rear cameras, you will realize that hidden within the black bezels surrounding the primary camera is a laser autofocus tech that assists the main autofocus system for capturing short-range photos. There is also a dual-tone color sensor (dual-tone flash) for illuminating the subject and his/her surroundings while taking shots.
The front camera is a 13MP fixed focus sensor with 1.22 µm pixel size, f/2.4 aperture and 18mm focal length. Hardware scanning apps identify the sensor as a 14.4MP unit by the way. There is no dedicated flash for the front camera though. It supports 4k video recording up to 60fps, and 2k (full HD) video recording up to 30fps.
