I don't want to give the impression that I was surprised, given Huaweis track record. It was just exposed in a hilarious way.
reminds me of the lumia/windows phone OIS ad -

Just like the food in a commercial isn't real or you can't really do donuts in the city center in your Hyundai this isn't new, unique or unexpected. I don't think it matters regardless of who does it because no one watches that ad and expects the photos that flash by are taken by a phone.
Photography can be very difficult to discuss the ethics of with regards to advertising like this. Apple certainly isn't in the legal wrong because the sensor on the phone itself is technically capturing the image albeit filtered through equipment no consumer would be in the business of owning. Similarly, color graded photography and manipulated images are something we as a society signed off on in commercialism a long, long time ago.
I think the only thing here that makes this skeevy are examples like this which are clearly done on DSLR's.
Hell, Canon recently shot an ad that utilized stills taken by a Nikon D800.

Got to love the airbrush,sharpening, etc tool in photoshop xD. I love it when amateur photographers give back photos of events and they over do soft brush etc everyone, end up looking like a mannequin.
But i just came back from the UAE, and this seems to be a common thing among their blown up ad's, posters and video murals etc
Lol, it's been this way since the dawn of time. The companies know people have caught on. That's why they do bts footage.
LMAO I'm dying here. The Huawei method seems way less trouble...
I used to work for a fairly big asian tech company, and any photos of people they had for their marketing looked like they raised some people in a lab to pose them in a virtual reconstruction of a living room.
Yes they claim it's the phone. The video that was posted shows it.
So we not gonna talk about Brown Jake Gyllenhaal in the 1st photo or is it just me that see it lolSo Huawei made an ad for their Nova 3i smartphone where they take a picture. Too bad the actress in the picture posted an instagram post where they have a DSLR facing them, and even better, the guy is holding nothing!
Plus that's a perfectly normal arm position when having your picture taken with a Dslr. No implications here.
Apple uses iPhone for the shots that are implied to be done on iPhone tho
Yeah wtf. I thought their heads were badly photoshopped on and the actress didn't knew they used her head or something.
I know, how didn't it get replaced by a water gun? OP when was the last time you updated your phone?
Haha, this. The stupid thing was that Pureview's OIS actually *was* ridiculously good for the time.
The real question is about the master mind behind this..........who is shoe!
