Vivo announces new AI-powered “Super HDR” feature

Vivo has announced a new AI-powered “Super HDR” that basically works just like your regular HDR but “merges more frames to resolve the problems presented by contrasting strong dark and light tones in a photo”.

The new Super HDR’s dynamic range can go up to 14 EV (Exposure Value) and can capture 12 frames with just a single press of the shutter. It adapts to different adapts to different scenes and their dynamic range characteristics. It also optimizes shadows to make sure that the photo’s highlights and shadows are balanced and natural.

Super HDR features smart detection that balances the lighting of the person and the background to create a natural feel. As previously mentioned, the Super HDR is AI-powered which means it employs complex AI algorithm to deliver a natural looking shoot.

“Vivo continues to push the boundaries and provide the ultimate camera experience for consumers. This goes beyond just adding powerful functions, but to developing innovations that our users can immediately enjoy. Today’s showcase of Super HDR is an example of our continued commitment to mobile photography, to enable our consumers to shoot professional quality photos at the touch of a button. Using intelligent AI, Super HDR can capture more detail under any conditions, without additional demands on the user”, said Vivo Senior Vice President Alex Feng.

Expect the Super HDR feature to arrive on future Vivo flagship smartphones.
