TimeLapse and Video Modes

Timelapse mode in the ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 is one of my favorite modes. Asus made available six intervals (1s, 1.5s, 2s, 2.5s, 3s and 5s) for extensive control of timelapse.

The ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 also shoots full HD at 1080p. The 3-axis (6 direction) electronic image stabilizer (EIS) only works on 720p. Video quality suffers with the same dynamic range problem similar to still images. And I’m not a fan of the EIS as the

Summary

Shooting with the ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 felt very responsive. PixelMaster Camera app starts up fast and the autofocus is snappy with a few issues on focusing. Image quality is a little above average with good color rendition and excellent detail but suffers from poor dynamic range. The close-up focusing was plus feature for me. The ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 camera is good in general shooting conditions but if you are really bent on better shooting experience, I’d go for the Asus ZenFone 3 line which uses the Sony sensor.

The ZenFone 3 Max (ZC553KL) is available in four colors Sand Gold, Titanium Gray, Glacier Silver and Rose Pink. It currently retails at Php 11,995 and Php 10,895 at Lazada
