A closer look at Rich Capture, the best feature on Lumia Camera

Rich Capture

If you ask me to name one thing that I liked the most from the recent Microsoft press briefing, I'd say information technology's the new Lumia Camera. If you oasis't heard, Nokia Camera will be updated to Lumia Camera as function of the Lumia Denim update. What I'yard actually excited about is the feature in Lumia Photographic camera that Microsoft calls, Rich Capture. Information technology's a new manner that tin be quickly enabled with one tap. Sentinel the demo on video to see what information technology'due south all about.

With the new Lumia Camera, at that place are three options on top. Y'all can quickly change to the forepart facing photographic camera, turn on/off/auto flash, and enable Rich Capture. Several things happen when you have a photograph with Rich Capture on, but users don't really demand to know how information technology works. Basically, you can avert the hassle of adjusting camera settings so you can shoot kickoff, and then edit and select the perfect shot later.

When you take a photo, Rich Capture analyzes the current scene, captures multiple images and merges them together. Information technology applies machine HDR with dynamic exposure steps and flash settings to provide the perfect shot.

When Rich Capture is on and the flash is off, Lumia Camera takes a traditional HDR photograph. This ways multiple photos are taken with different exposure values and then merged into 1 prototype. After the photo is taken, you lot tin edit it later to adjust how much HDR effect you desire. There'due south a slider bachelor to make the adjustments. The amount depends on users. I'd probably stick to well-nigh 33%, merely you tin can go all out with 100%.

When Rich Capture and flash are enabled, Lumia Camera takes multiple photos with flash and without wink. After the photo is taken, you tin edit information technology later to adjust the strength of the flash. Microsoft calls this feature, Dynamic Wink.

I was told at that place is too a 3rd manner when Rich Capture is on and flash is off, but I was unable to see that demo. Lumia Camera takes long and brusque exposure images. I imagine you lot can suit the slider afterwards when editing to endeavour to become the sharpest image possible in low light conditions.

I'm actually excited about the new Lumia Photographic camera and its new Rich Capture pick. Don't forget, Lumia Camera also brings other features. Information technology makes capturing images faster, brings 4K video capture to supported devices, and Moment Capture. When y'all hold the photographic camera button, it instantly starts recording your subject in 4K at 24 frames per second. Each of the frames captured can exist saved equally an individual photograph.

The new Lumia Camera will be available for the Nokia Lumia 830, Lumia 930, Lumia Icon, and Lumia 1520 equally office of the Lumia Denim update. It that starts rolling out in Q4. It's worth noting that the Lumia 830 will shoot Moment Capture in FullHD, not 4K.
