Shoot in MOVIE Mode​When searching through the different camera modes, you might come across MOVIE. This mode offers much more than just a different aspect ratio. This mode is designed with professional filming tools and camera controls. If you intend on editing your footage before posting it, this is a great camera mode for you.
On the right side of the preview window, you'll see the manual controls for iso, f-stop, zoom, focus, and white balance. These controls are super easy to navigate and do not interfere with getting your shot.
The left side has important features that will come into play in your post editing session. LOG will give your footage greater dynamic range, for better color grading in post. HDR gives your footage better contrast and enhanced colors. Try shooting with these toggled on so you can have more freedom in your editing environment.
Change Lenses in PRO Mode​With many phones, the PRO mode is limited to one lens, and at first glance you might think that this is also the case on the OPPO Find X5 Pro. However, you can toggle through all three of the rear camera lenses in PRO mode by selecting the tree icon in the top menu.
Choose between wide-angle/macro, standard, and telephoto. With each lens, you still retain the full set of pro controls, so you can get your shot looking exactly how you want it to. It's also worth noting that all of these lenses are compatible with RAW and RAW PLUS photography.
Enable 10-bit color Mode​10-bit photos can be captured in both PHOTO and NIGHT mode. You can enable this feature in the settings menu. Your 10-bit photos will retain more color data that can be viewed on compatible devices and apps that support it. These image files are saved in the .HEIF format, which is compatible with the default ColorOS photo editor. So if you are mostly editing and viewing your photos on your OPPO Find X5 Pro, then I highly recommend turning this feature on.
If you want to share your .HEIF photo in an app that is not supported (like Discord, Snapshot, Twitter etc.) Then you can easily convert the file in the photos app. Go to Photos > settings, then enable "Convert HEIF photos for sharing".
Manually Adjust f-stop in VIDEO Mode​Do you want to create that shallow depth of field look from big DSLR cameras? You can adjust the f-stop in VIDEO mode using the shutter icon. This will create dramatic looking videos with blurred backgrounds, similar to how portrait mode looks with photos. Just keep in mind that this limits your video resolution to 1080, disabling 4k shooting.
There are many other photography tips and tricks to explore on the OPPO Find X5 Pro. Leave a comment with your own suggestions on how users can get the most out of this amazing photography phone.

Shooting in RAW Vs. RAW+ [Explained]

The OPPO Find X5 Pro is a phone that is packed with photography features. The camera app gives you access to many different photo modes, so you can have a solution for any environment. Professionals who use software to edit their photos tend to shoot with the PRO mode. This mode gives you manual control over all of your camera settings but also has two features called RAW and RAW PLUS. Here's the difference-

RAW​RAW files are uncompressed image files with greater amounts of data in comparison to JPEG files. A RAW file is saved on your phone as a .dng file. These files can be edited with professional photo editing software, but you can also edit them in the ColorOS Photos app.
To shoot photos in RAW go to Camera > PRO mode > settings [three dots in the top right] > RAW
RAW PLUS​RAW PLUS offers a .dng file that is exactly the same as what you'd get with RAW. The only difference is RAW PLUS will save two files for every picture you take. One file is a .dng and the other is a .jpg. The .jpg is a standard compressed photo that you'd get with the normal PHOTO mode. So what is the point in having both files? The .jpg is much smaller in size and can be shared or previewed easily.
If you're transferring photos to a PC to edit them, you'll find that RAW files do not generate thumbnail previews as .jpg files do. So if you're taking a large number of photos and transferring them to your PC for editing, the .jpg file can act as a preview so you know which photos are which, without having to open them in your editing software.
To shoot photos in RAW go to Camera > PRO mode > settings [three dots in the top right] > RAW PLUS
Since my OPPO Find X5 Pro has a 512GB storage capacity, I don't stress about how much space my photos will take up, and shoot everything in RAW PLUS. Editing these files in the default Photos app is a great experience, with lots of amazing tools to take advantage of.

Sorry, but I have no idea where you got this information. The difference between RAW and RAW+ on the OPPO Find X5 Pro is the following:
RAW-Mode: creates a dng and a jpg/heic.
RAW+: only creates a dng.
RAW+ works in a similar way as multi-frame raw. As Oppo themselves explains: RAW+ captures more details and a wider dynamic range.
There might be some confusion with the designation "RAW+". With DSLR´s, RAW+ often refers to the option to save both a dng and a jpg, while RAW only saves a dng.

Absolutely right. I have to do some comparison between the generated RAW and RAW+ with my Find X6 Pro.

How to Shoot and Edit in LOG on the OPPO Find X5 Pro

The video capabilities on the OPPO Find X5 Pro are some of the most impressive that we have seen from this series so far. While you're able to shoot brilliant 4K footage with ease, OPPO included a feature for more advanced videographers that will give you more control over the way your footage looks. In the different filming modes available, you'll find the MOVIE option. This mode enabled several different features, but videographers will probably be most excited about the ability to shoot in LOG.
LOG is a filming profile that gives you a greater dynamic range and freedom in post-processing. While shooting your footage you might think that the video looks washed out or a little grey. That is because this footage is meant to be edited using professional software. You'll be able to tweak the color to look exactly how you want. This is the process that all movie footage goes through, in big productions.
Ho to Film in LOG on the OPPO Find X5 Pro​To access this great feature, follow these steps:
Open your camera app
Go to MOVIE mode
Toggle LOG on the left menu
When shooting in LOG, all of your manual controls will still be accessible.

Hot to Edit Footage Shot in LOG​Now that you have your footage, you'll want to use a professional editing app that will let you adjust the colors of your shot. Avoid using premade filters that tend to be included with smartphone editing software. Instead, try something like Adobe Premiere Rush: Video. Try using LUTs if you're a beginner at color grading, then tweak the look of the video from there.
LOG offers creators more control over their style and the overall result of their video. The addition of this feature to the OPPO Find X5 Pro is fantastic, and you should definitely try it out.

How to Capture the Best Night Shots on the OPPO Find X5 Pro

We often judge a smartphone camera by its ability to take photos in dark environments. This is notoriously the most difficult type of photo for a smartphone to take, with massive improvements being made in recent years. With the OPPO Find X5 Pro, night shots are looking better than ever as it's arguably the best phone for low-light photography. In this thread, I'm going to show you how to get the best night shots possible, on your Find X5 Pro.
Night Mode​Night mode is a great way to easily get night shots without having to mess with a lot of settings. The default configuration for night mode results in some really great-looking photos. However, the key the using night mode effectively is by keeping your camera as still as possible while your phone processes the image. Look for the tripod icon in the corner of the screen to activate tripod mode. This will make your phone open your camera shutter for longer, letting more light into the sensor. Stability is key here, as any little vibrations can add blurriness to your shot. So make sure you have a rock-solid tripod to use with your phone.

To maximize these shots, I always use the 10-bit color mode which can be activated in settings. 10-bit color does work with night mode, so I tend to keep it on at all times.
Pro Mode​If you have a little more knowledge about photography and camera settings, you might feel more confident in PRO mode. This mode gives you manual control over all of your camera settings. Fine-tune your ISO and shutter speed for more complicated shots like night sky and city skylines.
Pro Mode also lets you shoot in RAW, giving you a better file to work with during the editing process. This mode should be used every time you take a night shot that you intend to edit before you post.
Long Exposure Mode​Another type of night photo that you can capture with the OPPO Find X5 Pro, is long exposure shots. The long exposure mode has simple presets designed for three different scenarios.
Moving vehicles- Capture the bright, moving lights of vehicles at night.
Light painting- Track glowing objects as they move in low light.
Water & clouds- Make waterfalls and other flowing water scenes look like beautiful oil paintings.
For night shots, experiment with the Moving vehicles and Light painting modes. Once you have selected the scene, you can adjust the exposure time to your preference. Set a timer and leave your phone in place, or set the time to unlimited and manually stop the shot when you're ready. Once again, this type of shot is best done with a tripod.
Use these tips to improve your night shots and feel free to leave some of your favorite night shot tips in this thread.
