Nokia Pro Cam
If the Finnish terminals have stood out for something Nokia, in addition to their design, it is for carrying with them high-quality photographic lenses with manufacturer's lenses Carl Zeiss Devices that have been enhanced with technologyPureView, able to take full advantage of the information collected by this sensor to achieve very detailed photographs even using zoom and low light conditions What has made terminals Nokia Lumia 1020, Lumia 920 and Lumia 925 be one of the smartphones best valued in the field of photography digital, since they all carry the PureView technology in their lenses, although with some differences. And it is that the Lumia 1020 has a sensor of no less than 41 megapixels, while the other two are 8, 7 megapixels However, power without control is useless, and along with this technology Nokia has also been in charge of developing a tool that allows the user to manage all the features of these lenses at will, achieving all kinds of quality images in different situations This tool is called Nokia Pro Cam, and is an application that the Lumia range with PureView can fully utilizefree
This is an application that offers the usual photographic controls of professional cameras but for these terminals. The key lies in the fact that it not only offers possibilities, but also that its design or user interface is so simple that any user can use it, even without having knowledge of photography. This design is based on concentric arcs that allow you to regulate different aspects such as shutter speed or white balance with a single finger, seeing on the screen the reaction that this effect will have on the final image. A whole facility to achieve theperfect shot

Its use is really simple, just start the application for the camera is activated and the framing and all these controls are displayed on the screen.Thus, the arc furthest from the shutter button on the left allows you to control the white balance of the scene. That is, ensure that the photograph represents colors as faithfully as possible. To do this, this control must be adjusted, which allows the sensor to understand that the brightest part is white and the darkest part is black. Something that in the application is represented with different situations such as: sunny, cloudy, fluorescent, incandescent or interior light A very important issue to take into account when the light of the scene is not natural and white, or to faithfully represent or not the colors of a sunset.
The second control or arc of this application is used to control the focus With it, the objects in the scene remaincleanly defined and focused In this case the user can choose the focus automatic, very common in cameras digital so you don't have to worry about it, or swipe to focus at different distances and get all sorts of photo effects.All this while being able to see the result in advance on the screen.

A more important point, and for which this application stands out, is the possibility of controlling the ISO value, or sensitivity to capture the light of the scene. This makes it possible to dim scenes with too much or too little light to faithfully represent colors and objects. This function is what allows the image not to be overexposed or burned, or too dark. In addition, like the rest of the controls, it can be adjusted to display the result prior to shooting
And closely related to the previous point is the following control. In this case it is the shutter speed A control that allows you to regulate the amount of light that enters the camera sensor during a fixed timeBy including this variety it is possible to get photos with very sharp or blurred moving objects Just slide your finger to the top to slow down and get very sharp photos, but they need a lots of light The same happens in the opposite case. To get photos in dark environments, a slow shutter speed is necessary so that as much light as possible reaches the sensor and the image is not dark, but any movement will make it blur. blur or jiggle.

The last control, which is closest to the shutter button, is the Exposure Value Adjusting it up or down below it is possible to illuminate the objects that are shadowed in the scene or darken them if they have too much light and are barely visible.
Once the ideal conditions are achieved, all that remains is adjust the frame and shootAlthough the possibilities of Nokia Pro Cam Lazier or less learned users can always slide these controls to the bottom of arc to set the automatic mode to any of them. Always keeping in mind that the related values have warnings and suggestions to achieve the best result. In addition, once a configuration is established, it remains stored for use on other occasions, being able to reset the controls by moving the shutter release buttonto the left and release it again. And there are still more.

Nokia Pro Cam allows you to capture with zoom and return to frame. And this application actually takes two screenshots (Lumia 1020) or one (Lumia 920 and 925) but keeps the original intactIn this way it is possible to undo the zoom and reframe the scene at will, being able to apply different types of formats such as four thirds, square frames, etc.
In short, a tool that thanks to the technology of the photographic lenses of the terminals Lumia allows the user to take full control . Just like with professional cameras. All this knowing that PureView technology has a powerful image stabilizer to prevent movement , and a quality that makes many of the compact digital cameras of the moment blush. An application that can also be fully downloaded free through Windows Phone Store Of course, It is necessary to have updated the terminal to version Amber of the operating system Windows Phone
