In artificial light, the images still hold the sharpness and details. In the extremely low light conditions, noises are visible on the captures and the detailing gets a bit weaker. Don’t forget to activate the night mode while shooting in darkness. This feature alleviates the quality of images by fixing the noises, grains, and exposure. To capture better photos, try to hold the phone stable.
This phone lacks any macro shooter. This is not a big issue, as a macro camera available in most contemporary phones has little to offer. Instead of a macro lens, 17 Pro is provided with a monochrome shooter which we have also seen in Oppo Reno 4. Activating the OP7 filter under portrait mode, you can capture black-and-white images making the subject look more dramatic.

Front Camera
Let’s turn to the front cameras. Here, you get a 16MP f/2.4 primary selfie shooter and a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor on the front side of this Smartphone. The 16MP main shooter captures gorgeous selfies under adequate light. The facial details and skin tones look close to natural. Turning off the beauty mode realistic selfies can be captured. The 2MP depth sensor offers sharp-edged selfies under Portrait mode in good light conditions.
Overall, the image quality is lovely. While other phones are boasting of megapixels, Oppo is prioritizing over professional image processing that makes this brand stand out from others. This phone is enriched with a bunch of AI features such as AI Portrait color, AI super Night Portrait, AI Super Clear Portrait, AI Beautification2.0, etc. Utilizing these features you can further optimize the images.
Oppo F17 pro can shoot 4k videos at 30fps resolution with the primary rear camera, but you have to sacrifice stabilization and compromise on color accuracy. The stabilization feature is available if the video is captured at 1080p resolution. You can also shoot slo-mo videos at 1080p resolution. With the ultra-wide-angle 8MP rear shooter 1080p videos can be captured without stabilization.
Additionally, the front-facing shooter is capable of recording 1080p videos with acceptable clarity and audio quality. Thanks to Oppo for providing, the ‘Ultra Steady Mode’ on the front sensor that allows you to enjoy stabilization while shooting videos.
