Vivo has quickly gained a loyal following in India with its selfie-centric smartphones. The Vivo V7 and V7+, launched in November 2017, deliver on their promise of "clearer selfies" through features like Portrait Mode, HDR, Face Beauty for video calls, and more.
After hands-on testing with the Vivo V7 for a week, I've discovered these seven practical camera tips to elevate your photography game and capture professional-quality selfies every time.
Portrait Mode with bokeh is popular, but the Vivo V7 takes it further by letting you layer on Face Beauty effects for flawless results.
The 24MP front camera excels here, blurring the background while keeping you sharp in focus.
Simply select Portrait Mode, choose Face Beauty, adjust sliders, and snap away.
Inspired by Apple's Live Photos, this feature on the Vivo V7 records a short clip around your still image, just like on Galaxy S8, Pixel 2, and others.
Tap the Live icon in the camera app. Photos save to Gallery tagged as Live Photos—tap to play the animated preview. Share as stills or videos.
Skip physical buttons: say "Cheese" to snap photos. Volume keys and fingerprint sensor work too, but voice adds convenience.
Enable in Camera Settings (top-right menu, third option). Palm gestures also trigger shots.
Avoid tilted shots with the built-in leveler—essential for precise manual adjustments in Pro Mode.
Tap the top-left icon; it alerts you to any tilt.
Fit everyone in group shots with Wide Selfie mode.
Swipe left on the selfie interface, press shutter, and pan slowly left to right for a panoramic group photo.
Maintain consistent lighting and sharpness, especially for video.
Long-press the screen to lock AE/AF. Drag the exposure slider for fine control—your shots will look pro.
Get true-to-viewfinder selfies without the usual flip.
Enable in Camera Settings; all selfies now match the preview exactly.
These tips, plus watermark options, unlock the full potential of your Vivo V7 camera. Which one will you try first?
