ZENHOW: ZenFone 5 Ai Photography
Science & Technology
Introduction
Hi everyone, I'm Justin, and welcome to another episode of ZenHow. I’m a photographer, and today, I’ll be exploring the capabilities of the brand new ZenFone 5, a smartphone that features impressive technology and an all-screen display. What’s unique about this phone is its AI scene detection technology, which can recognize up to 16 different scene categories and automatically adjust camera settings for optimal results.
As a professional photographer, I typically rely on my DSLR for shoots. However, I’m intrigued to see if the ZenFone 5 can serve as a reliable all-around shooting companion, especially when I'm on the go and want to avoid carrying heavy gear.
When photographing people, I usually set my camera to a wide aperture and use a longer focal length lens to create a soft blur for distracting backgrounds. But with the ZenFone 5, I can simply point the camera at my subject, and it will recognize that it’s a portrait shot, automatically adjusting the aperture, ISO, and shutter speed for me. The all-screen display enhances my experience by allowing me to fully appreciate the results.
In addition to that, the ZenFone 5 offers both facial recognition and a fingerprint sensor on the back for enhanced security and convenience.
Next, to really test the AI camera feature, I introduced my little friend Watson, who can be a bit camera-shy. Capturing pets can be challenging since they’re often on the move. I usually have to adjust my camera to a faster shutter speed to avoid blurry images, but with the ZenFone 5, I’m excited to see how well it can handle this on its own. The beautiful part is that the camera can even provide me with two versions of the photo at different settings, allowing me to select my favorite while learning from my preferences for future shots.
While shooting food earlier, I focused on ensuring the images looked soft and bright to enhance their appeal. The ZenFone 5 can manage color saturation and temperature adjustments automatically, which allows me to focus on composition.
Today’s weather provided a perfect opportunity for a sky shot. Typically, I'd lower the aperture and increase the shutter speed to capture the rich blue hues and tones in the clouds. Often, I’d need to make further adjustments on my computer, but with the ZenFone 5, the AI camera can handle all this with just a single press of the shutter.
As we wrap up today, I conducted an experiment to see if the ZenFone 5 could distinguish between cats and dogs, one of the 16 scene settings it recognizes. With my cat hidden away, I was curious to see if the smartphone could identify it. Despite initial fears, the ZenFone 5 successfully recognized the cat, showcasing its ability to differentiate between various subjects.
Overall, the ZenFone 5 is proving to be an excellent all-around pocket camera and a fantastic addition to my photography toolkit. Don't forget to leave us a like and a comment below. We'll see you next time!
