shots.
To capture a panorama shot, the camera takes multiple photos of objects within our visual field and

and try to avoid backgrounds that are all in one color.

these apps.
l

Use Wi-Fi and mobile networks: Calculates your Phone's location using carrier base station
location information or nearby Wi-Fi router location information. The accuracy of the location
information depends largely upon location information gathered from the base station or Wi-Fi
network. Accuracy normally ranges from 100 meters to several kilometers. Network positioning has
low accuracy, but allows for positioning while indoors and uses less battery power.

Use GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile networks: Combines the benefits of GPS positioning and networking
positioning for accurate indoor and outdoor positioning.

Use GPS only: Only uses satellites found by your Phone's GPS to determine your position. No
network connection is needed. GPS satellite positioning is more accurate but also uses more battery.
It is accurate within tens of meters. However, indoor positioning may be inaccurate.
l

Features may vary depending on your carrier.

Huawei only uses location data to provide you with necessary functions and services, not for
the purpose of identifying and collecting your private information.

Set indoor positioning assistance: Open
access >

Settings, go to Security & privacy > Location

> Scan settings, and enable or disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning. Scanning Wi-Fi

networks and Bluetooth devices will improve the accuracy of indoor positioning.
