2023-04-20 08:49:18

In the last unboxing of Xiaomi 13 Pro, Ada mentioned that he went to Nagoya, Japan to enjoy cherry blossoms + play for nine days. He took a lot of photos during the whole trip. Although the first four days were cloudy and rainy, the weather in the next few days Well done, I also took a trip to Kyoto for a walk (personally, I recommend Nagoya, because there are fewer people entering the country and faster customs clearance, it takes half an hour to two hours to go to Osaka and Kyoto, and Nagoya has a lot of interesting places ), and took more than 2,000 photos, because it is impossible to throw them all into the unboxing article (there will be a lot of pictures), so I will post another article to share, and I will also share a few cherry blossom viewing spots in Kyoto and Nagoya that I think are good.

During the cherry blossom season, there are beautiful scenery everywhere in Kyoto. If you really want to go shopping, you will actually have a choice barrier. My own way of walking is to go to the abandoned Keage inclined track first. The scenery here is really not covered. In the previous article, Ada mentioned the two color modes of “Leica Vivid” and “Leica Classic”. When shooting cherry blossoms outdoors, you will have a different feeling, such as the ultra-wide-angle 14 mm Leica Vivid (top) and Leica Classic (bottom) ), the color styles of the sky and leaves are somewhat different:

The main lens is 23mm, and I personally prefer Leica’s vivid color tone:

Leaving the Keage Railway, you can walk a short distance to the “Way of Philosophy”. The Ginkakuji Temple is also nearby, but I didn’t go in this time because it took more than an hour to get in to the Ginkakuji Temple. The way of philosophy is about two kilometers in length, with cherry blossom trees planted on both sides, it is worth visiting during the cherry blossom season:

Taking this group as an example, Leica’s vivid flowers and sky are very bright (higher than the actual color contrast on site), which looks very comfortable:

But Leica Classic feels that the four corners will make a shadow effect similar to the corners of the lens, and the color is relatively flat, but it adds an old camera feeling:

This group is 23mm direct lossless 2X zoom shooting:

Here are a few more comparisons between Leica Vivid and Leica Classic for your reference. I personally think that Leica Vivid is more suitable for shooting natural scenery, and Leica Classic is more suitable for shooting street scenes and indoors:

Next, let’s take a look at night shooting. In the night and low light environment, the obvious difference between Leica Vivid and Leica Classic is the difference in metering/exposure strategy. “, Leica Classic is a bit overexposed in some scenes, and the dark part is not bright enough, which leads to a little loss of details:

▲ Leica vivid exposure is normal.

Leica classic dark details are less obvious, but more prominent photography subject:

This group of Leica classics (below) has the dark edge feeling similar to old lenses in the corners of the picture. The flowers and the stones on the left river bank feel a bit overexposed. I personally think the main factor is that Xiaomi 13 Pro is rarely used in low-light environments. Multi-frame synthesis to superimpose and brighten the picture (the big bottom is crazy), and the factors that are different from the corresponding strategies of traditional smartphones to deal with such scenes:

But to be honest, the photos taken by Leica Classic are closer to the real scene of the scene. Although Leica Vivid looks more pleasing, it feels more AI intervention:

Next, look at the night shooting performance of each focal length, 23mm:

23mm is twice as lossless, and the picture is still very clean:

I personally like the performance of the 75mm 3.2X telephoto lens:

After the color tone comparison, let’s take a look at the performance of the focal length of the lens. Xiaomi 13 Pro is equipped with three equivalent 14mm ultra-wide-angle lenses, 23mm main camera and 75mm telephoto lens. Xiaomi does not focus on high-magnification zoom like other manufacturers, but 13 Pro is the highest It can be digitally zoomed to 70X. Before 30 times, I think it is still usable and sufficient. After all, high-magnification optical zoom has been popular for several years. Mi 12 Ultra has also been equipped with 120mm focal length, because the usage rate is not high ( And the lens is slightly shifted and the target cannot be found), and almost all manufacturers no longer configure high-magnification lenses. It may be a more correct choice to maximize the image quality of the main focal length:

3.2X is serious enough to say that the general environment is enough, such as ducks in the river:

It is enough to shoot insects and bees. In fact, in practice, when the picture is suddenly enlarged, sometimes it is necessary to find the subject again and lose the timing of the capture:

The following photos were all taken vividly with Leica, and the focal lengths used are marked in the lower right corner of the photos. I was very happy to shoot this year:

This time I brought Xiaomi 13 Pro to Japan to shoot cherry blossoms. I am really satisfied. The focus is precise and the colors are full. The focus object did not pull the air duct, and the seamless zooming of the three cameras was also very smooth. The only pity is that the seamless switching of the three cameras only supports the 4K 30FPS video format. If the format is changed to 4K 60FPS, the seamless zooming will not be possible. I don’t know if it’s a firmware problem or a hardware problem when switching the camera. With a large screen and long battery life; and a price that I personally think is reasonable, the overall experience is quite comfortable! If you want a mobile phone with excellent camera, performance, and battery life, Xiaomi 13 Pro is one of the best choices at present, but if you have a limited budget and don’t want to make too many compromises in terms of camera and video, then Xiaomi 13 Pro The price is more affordable, and it is worth your reference. The above is provided as a reference for your purchase.
