Panoramas provide a wider viewing angle than ordinary photos, letting you take sweeping landscape
shots.
To capture a panorama shot, the camera takes multiple photos of objects within our visual eld and
stitches them together into a single photo.
22
When taking a panorama, nd a wide, open space that is some distance away from the subject
and try to avoid backgrounds that are all in one colour.
1 Go to Camera > More > Panorama.
2 Touch at the bottom of the screen to congure the shooting direction.
3 Hold your Phone steady, and then touch to start shooting. Slowly move the Phone in the
direction indicated, holding the device steady and ensuring that the arrow stays level with the
centre line.
4 Touch when you are nished. The camera will automatically stitch the photos together to
create a panorama.

not visible. Choose a suitably bright light source of an appropriate colour, such as a small torch
or glow stick.
l Place your device on a tripod or solid surface so that it does not move during the exposure.

Enhanced Data Protection: Defend Your Privacy
Worried that your photos, bank account information, or other private data might get leaked if your
Phone is lost or stolen? Huawei Phones now feature security chips in addition to the combined
protection provided by the trusted root key and lock screen password. Whether your data is stored in
a memory card or internal storage, it will receive the highest level of protection.
Stronger encryption and safeguards: Huawei Phones use a hardware key that cannot be used to
decrypt data when separated from the Phone. Based on the trusted root key, the encrypted
components are incorporated into the memory control chip to enhance the data protection capability
of the hardware. This works together with your lock screen password to protect your private data.
When you use PrivateSpace, Multi-user, encrypted memory les, or other features to encrypt photos,
personal information, or other personal data, the only way your data can possibly be decrypted is if
the trusted root key, lock screen password, and security chip are simultaneously cracked. Not all
devices support memory cards.
