Huawei sorry for using DSLR shots to promote phone photo contest

Beijing: Huawei has issued an apology after a “Shot on iPhone” contest winner discovered that the company was using photos shot on a DSLR to promote its smartphone photography contest.

Chinese smartphone maker recently promoted a photography contest with a video, featuring impressive pictures that the company claimed were “taken with Huawei smartphones.”

However, Weibo user Jamie-hua, also known as Huapeng Zhao who won second place in the 2018 iPhone Photography Awards discovered that two of the photos were shot by a Nikon D850 DSLR camera, reports GizmoChina.

The company said that the photos were meant to encourage consumers to share their shots on its online gallery.
