Perfect moments do not wait for the right lighting and in fact, sometimes lowlight scenes can create amazing images.
WHETHER it’s simply taking a photo with friends at a bar, capturing a wefie at a concert or just an awe-inspiring night view, all of us can take great images with limited amount of lighting.
HUAWEI nova 3i
DSLRs are often used for capturing lowlight images as it contains larger sensors as compared to smartphones. However, with the advancement in technology to enhance user’s photography experience, the new ‘Night Mode’ technology had since been introduced to achieve similar outcome with an assistance of a tripod.
Moving forward, the technology for Night Mode has evolved rapidly. Nowadays, users do not even need a tripod stand to achieve the same effect. This feature is called AIS Handheld Super Night Mode, which is made exclusively for selected HUAWEI devices.
AIS Handheld Super Night Mode is HUAWEI’s very own technology to capture a photo with a longer exposure time without a tripod, allowing users to snap any images under lowlight conditions, and achieve a natural, brighter and clearer photo.
With HUAWEI’s state-of-the-art AI algorithm, users are empowered to leverage AI handheld detection, AI light detection, AI anti-shake processing and other AI photography features to ensure users can capture a brighter and sharper quality lowlight image.
The HUAWEI nova 3 was the first device amongst the nova series updated with this feature earlier this month. In less than a month, the AIS Handheld Super Night Mode is also available for update on the HUAWEI nova 3i, and will be released in batches starting 1st November 2018.
The HUAWEI nova 3i sports a Kirin 710 processor, a new HUAWEI SoC with AI capabilities. Combined with its 24MP quad-camera* setup, the photography experience on a Huawei Nova 3i, regardless photo or selfie, is greatly enhanced.
hUAWEI nova 3i retails at the attractive price of RM 1,299, it can be purchased at all HUAWEI Experience Stores, HUAWEI Online Store, authorized dealers and major telco partners. For every purchase, customers will receive a Nova VIP Privilege card that offers exclusive gifts and vouchers worth up to RM1,000 – a great instant reward for nova users.

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) menasihati orang ramai untuk segera menghubungi TNB jika premis mereka dinaiki air akibat banjir berikutan permulaan monsun Timur Laut bagi membolehkan TNB menghentikan bekalan demi keselamatan.
JABATAN Meteorologi Malaysia dalam kenyataan pada 26 Oktober 2018 memaklumkan bahawa Monsun Timur Laut atau musim tengkujuh di Malaysia dijangka bermula pada 27 Oktober hingga Mac 2019.
Hujan lebat dijangka berlaku di Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang dan Johor pada November serta Disember 2018.
“Sila hubungi pejabat TNB yang berdekatan, TNB CareLine 15454 atau Facebook TNB Careline sebaik paras air meningkat supaya bekalan elektrik boleh diputuskan bagi mengelakkan sebarang kejadian yang tidak diingini,” kata Ketua (Perhubungan Awam & Dalaman) TNB, Datuk Ir. Mohd Aminuddin Mohd Amin.
Katanya, TNB sentiasa mengawasi keadaan dari semasa ke semasa dan akan menutup bekalan ke pencawang di kawasan banjir sekiranya paras air mencecah tahap bahaya.
“Penutupan bekalan elektrik ke kawasan terlibat dibuat untuk sementara waktu demi memastikan keselamatan orang awam terjamin. Bekalan elektrik akan disambung semula setelah air banjir surut dan keadaan kembali selamat,” katanya lagi.
“Pengguna yang premis mereka dinaiki air juga perlu menghindari penggunaan sebarang peralatan elektrik dan perlu memastikan suis utama ditutup bagi mengurangkan kemungkinan renjatan elektrik berlaku.”
Ir. Mohd Aminuddin turut menasihatkan ibu bapa agar sentiasa mengawasi tindak-tanduk anak-anak mereka agar tidak menghampiri tiang elektrik yang tumbang atau wayar elektrik yang terputus semasa banjir kerana arus elektrik mungkin masih mengalir.
“Maklumkan kepada TNB supaya tindakan segera boleh dilakukan untuk membaiki kerosakan tersebut,” katanya sambil mengingatkan orang ramai untuk menjauhi kawasan di mana paras air naik dan mencecah talian TNB.
Beliau berkata, setelah banjir surut, suis elektrik dan perkakas elektrik yang terendam dalam air banjir perlu diperiksa dan diuji terlebih dahulu oleh kontraktor elektrik yang berdaftar dengan Suruhanjaya Tenaga sebelum digunakan semula.
