The images you capture with OPPO F7 show greater range of luminance levels, both in bright sunlight and in darker environment. The contrast and color range of the pixels are expanded to reveal more details in selfies. The HDR feature also works in tandem with the A.I beauty mode and can be used both while taking a picture or recording a video.

Vivid mode is actually a set of carefully controlled algorithms that adds punchy colors to your selfies. That extra color and contrast make your self-portraits look vibrant and more life-like. The Vivid mode can be enabled with just one tap from the camera interface. What it does to your images is quite interesting.

The results you get are far better and appealing that any other selfie smartphone in the market. But there's more to OPPO F7 camera than these two amazing features. Let's have a look.
