First impression

Open Camera opens the lens. And once it becomes clear that the layout of the elements here is different from system solutions. At the bottom of the big blue button to “Remove” the left zoom, adjustable slider on the right – column tools, where the bottom is located the settings that we will do, to understand what the program is capable of.

so, you can enable facial recognition (it’s Google-camera is), choose time timer and set the batch recording. In the latter two cases the timing of the count and number of images is much broader than the systemic counterpart.

I Must admit that such differentiation does not much enough. At the same time interval in batch mode you can also choose not to shoot a bunch of photos for a couple of seconds.

Separately, go to photo settings and video settings. So, in the settings choose photo quality images in percentage terms, that is, a priori it is thin custom without the banal “good”, “medium” and “excellent”. What to front camera, then the image can be flipped – this will appeal to selfie lovers.

in Addition, you can instruct the stamps on the picture, choosing format date, time, and even geotagging (degrees/minutes/seconds) and also come up with your automatic signature in the photo, assigning a specific font, style and color. It is a pity that this signature will prevail on all pictures until reset. Features – ability to save photos in a background thread, in order to speed up the camera performance.
