Huawei P30 Pro ‘Moon Mode’ Controversy
Since the launch of the P30 Pro, we have been noticing how users and reviewers went on to share breathtaking photos of the moon — deeming the P30 Pro as the most superior smartphone in terms of camera performance. However, the ‘Moon Mode’ integrated into the camera app of the phone has landed itself into the controversy of sorts. The MoonMode that shows up when the MasterAI mode is enabled, detects that the user is taking a shot of the moon.
The AI working in the background enhances the shot, i.e. the structure and shadows of the celestial body. It ends up adding details to the shot that are not present in the real-time view. A report from a Chinese media outlet has posted a long-term review of the MoonMode, describing it as potentially phony. Huawei was quick to respond to the allegations.
In a statement given to Android Authority, Huawei clarified that the MoonMode work on the principles of other master AI modes. An extract from the statement reads, “Moon Mode operates on the same principle as other master AI modes, in that it recognizes and optimizes details within an image to help individuals take better photos. It does not in any way replace the image – that would require an unrealistic amount of storage space since AI mode recognizes over 1,300 scenarios.”
Going by the statement issued by Huawei, it seems that the MoonMode does add a few details according to its AI principles. For the users who want to capture real images of the moon, they just need to turn off the Master AI mode.
