Google Camera: Experience the Revamped Camera App

Google has released quite a decent and notable update for its Stock Camera app called as Google Camera and has made it available for even non-Nexus devices running KitKat in the Play Store. The new camera app’s interface might not still be mind blowing, but it has been changed a bit from what we have earlier seen in previous camera UI’s found in Nexus 5 and Nexus smartphones.

Google has made sure to include picture-taking interface for taking regular shots and Panoramas. The new UI also comes included with features like Photo Spheres and a brand new camera function called Lens Blur.

Some features included in Google Camera:

• Photo Spheres captures immersive 360º views

• Lens Blur mode produces SLR-like photos with shallow depth of field

• Panorama mode offered with high resolution

• 100% viewfinder to maximum resolution from the sensor (without dropping the pixels)

• Updated camera user interface which offers extra space for llarge capture button

• Can be downloaded on smartphones and tablets running on Android 4.4+ KitKat OS

Let us read about each specific feature available in Google Camera App:

• Regular Shots: This is  a regular camera function used for taking pictures with touch focus and flash

• Panoramas Shots: It has been improved a lot and helps in capturing higher-resolution panoramas. The UI is somewhat identical to old Photo Sphere layout- which in turn allows the user to click several individual pictures using dots as guides. The result seems better than the sweeping method found in previous version

• Photo Spheres: This remains the same, though it has been included with some quirky settings. It allows the user to capture 360 degree pictures at up to 50 Mega Pixels and tends to create 3D like presentation

• Lens Blur:As the name suggests, Lens Blur allows the photographer to blur out the specific surroundings in an image while focusing on the subject. It facilitates in adding a depth of effect to the picture after the click. This is executed through software algorithms that simulate the large camera and aperture that most of the Android devices are not included with

If you are still unaware what Google Camera is all about, we would suggest you to download the same from Play Store for free and experience it yourself.
