10 Windows Mobile, the Camera app is enriched with two useful functions

The advantage that the operating system Windows Mobile 10 offers compared to previous Windows Phone version 8.1 is due to the modular nature of the platform. The core app for Microsoft's mobile OS can be updated in a manner released by the update of the entire software platform and this improves with very fast rhythms essential functionality. An example of such an assumption is represented by the update native Camera app, distributed by a few hours.

The app Windows Mobile Camera 10 has gradually borrowed functions that were part, previously, Lumia Camera app, for a long time exclusively for use with Windows Phone Nokia / Microsoft; the aim of the Redmond has been - acceptable - to avoid duplication of apps that perform essentially the same functions and, to achieve the purpose, it has progressively enhanced app features native Windows Mobile Camera 10.

Object (documented) update released in recent hours in the introduction of two features: the first relating to the choice of whether or not the shooting HDR mode, the second is the ability to pause while recording a video. The arrival of the option to manually force the activation of the shot in HDR (high dynamic range) was anticipated in January from the same Juha Alakarhu (see. Declarations made to the website All About Windows Phone) and offers the possibility to choose when to activate or not the shooting mode that allows you to manage in a smoother scenes with high contrast between light and dark areas. Following the update, there will be a new icon in the camera UI that will control the HDR mode:

As a side note, it is noted that the HDR option received a rebranding and is now called "HDR composite" (no more Rich Capture).

The second function should not need explanation: it is the ability to pause and resume video recording. To do this, it will intervene through the button located just above the one dedicated to the activation and interruption of recording:

It is noted that the innovations described are part updating native Camera app currently in distribution: it is the 2016.325.11.0 version that we had no difficulty getting on our Lumia 1520 equipped with the Windows build 10.0.14295.1000 Insider Preview 10 Mobile. To underline the fact that some 10 Windows Mobile models may receive after another update, and that participation in the Windows Insider program can affect the ability to receive in advance the update. Microsoft on this point is not very generous with information, not only remains to suggest carrying out a check on the presence of new updates Camera app through the Windows Store.
