Camera For Oppo F7

The Oppo F7 is touted as a great selfie master, but it can do regular pictures

The Oppo F7 is touted as a great selfie master, but it can do regular pictures quite well, too. And while the F7 has that impressive 25MP to show off, its main snapper remains unchanged since the F5.

The lack of change isn't necessarily a bad thing, though. The camera on the back employs a 16MP sensor with bright f/1.8 lens. There is a single-LED flash and phase-detection autofocus is available.

The app offers two trendy modes - 2x telephoto zoom and blurred background. Those have dedicated shortcuts on the viewfinder, but you can imagine they are both simulated as there is no secondary snapper to help. The telephoto zoom is basic digital zoom, but the blurred background works rather well for not-so-complicated subjects.

The regular samples turned out good with enough resolved detail, excellent contrast, and accurate colors. The dynamic range is about average - there are clipped highlights here and there, but nothing that the Auto HDR can't fix. The pictures are noisy though, and the foliage is more often smudgy rather than not.

As we said, the Auto HDR mode is pretty good at catching the contrasty scenes and will fix those blown highlights for you at the expense of a minor decrease in contrast
