Google Camera
For a few hours the rumors about the presentation of the application Google Camera for all terminals Android has been confirmed. Thus, users who do not have a Nexus or Google Play Edition terminal (those of Other manufacturers with a clean version of the operating system Android), can also enjoy a complete photography tool developed by Google Of course, the only requirement is that the terminal must be updated to version Android 4.4 or KitKat
This is a new version of the Google Camera app that users of Nexus devices and Google Play Edition have already been able to test. A tool intended to be the main option for taking pictures, with several very interesting extra additions that are directly related to other services Google In this way, more users have access to these issues, as well as providing a much more comfortable and agile way forupdate the application and add new features without having to release updates for the entire operating system. But what's new in this app?
Users who have already had access to previous versions of Google Camera will discover important changes in both the visual as well as functional In this way, the design of the application has changed intelligently to always show on the screen the proportions and real format of the photograph that will result in, that is, remarking the image to show 4:3 and not 16:9. Also, it now has a much larger shutter release button that not only serves to crop the image and achieve this format, but is especially useful for taking the picture simply by clicking on any point in said box. But there are other interesting questions.
The main novelty of this tool is its function Lens Blur or Focus A shooting mode that allows play with depth of field and selective focus even after you've taken the shot.Something very similar to those seen in the application Nokia Refocus, and in terminals like the Samsung Galaxy S5or the HTC One M8 With it, the user can take a picture in which to focus on the desired point of the image even afterward to highlight its importance on the rest, which is out of focus. This also causes a sensation of depth close to 3D and a surprising result that can always be modified.
However, there are several shortcomings that were present in previous versions of the application. Issues such as modifying the white balance, the timer, taking snapshots while recording videos, and just as many have disappeared. Or almost. And it is that in Android Police they have discovered in the guts of the application that these functions are present, but they will not be operational until next updates, perhaps with other important improvements.
In short, a tool for complete photography and with a high quality that now has a simpler design and improves the experience of the user, being only necessary to swipe your finger to access different options and shooting modes or the photo gallery. All this with features like Photo Sphere, High Resolution Panoramas and the new featureFocus, in addition to other issues that are yet to come. At the moment the user with a Android 4.4 can already download Google Camera completely free via Google Play
