And even if it did (get withdrawn), 'Nokia Camera' is still part of the firmware builds provisioned for the 1020, so you'd always have this to fall back on, with much the same functionality.Īnd even if the above wasn't enough for you, other third party camera applications continue to work well under Windows 10 Mobile - I've been testing 1Shot and ProShot, but I'm sure the multitude of (less serious) camera apps will work fine too. So you'll have to live with the 1020's (lack of) speed and, as usual, console yourself with quality!ġShot in action, just zoom to whatever resolution you want, it's a lossless way of working and rather interesting! Will Lumia Camera stay available throughout the 1020's life and Windows 10 Mobile?Īdmittedly this app has disappeared a few times in the past year in the Store for some devices, but these have only been temporary lapses - there's no reason to suspect that it needs to be withdrawn for any reason in the long term. The big misconception was that a next generation camera application would somehow speed up the 1020 camera dramatically, but (short of a low resolution scrape of the sensor) the bottleneck is still grabbing 38MP worth of data and then saving it. PLUS, it always capture at the maximum resolution of the sensor - and I suspect that you don't really want to be snapping 10MB 34MP images all day long, so you can discount this application for the 1020.

And, probably due to debug code still in place, there's a noticeable shutter lag at present on the Lumia 1020. This (Camera) does start fractionally quicker, though it's still three seconds before the viewfinder is fully live, so there's no significant gain. It's business as usual! What happens if I use (Windows) Camera instead? Is snapping much faster? Ditto shooting RAW (.DNG) files and sucking them out via cable with Windows Explorer, Nokia Photo Transfer or similar. Your default camera is set to Lumia Camera (v4) still, and all the same options are there in the interface, settings, and even the hooks from Windows 10 Photos into Lumia Creative Studio (which hasn't changed). So I can carry on using 'Dual Capture', PureView zooming, 'Reframing', and shooting RAW?Ībsolutely. Interestingly, (Windows) Camera gives its version number as v.0, indicating an evolution of Lumia Camera 5 (still on v5.0.2.51 on the Lumia 930 etc.), though it's clever enough to handle each device on its own merits in terms of 'Rich Capture' - the 1020's mechanical shutter and slow capture mean that this feature simply wouldn't work - and so it's not offered. So it seems as though you can carry on as before - nothing need change. exactly the same as you're currently using under Windows Phone 8.1.

However, Lumia Camera for Windows 10 Mobile ends up as v4.9.4.1, i.e.

Lumia Camera contains extra 'smarts' that know how to handle the extra microphones and optics in some models. It depends on which device you have - it seems that the 'Nokia'-branded phones above a certain specification will retain 'Lumia Camera' (in fact, in the current build it's still called 'Nokia Camera' initially, until it's replaced in the Store with the new name), as well as 'Camera', a clear derivative of Lumia Camera 5.x but adapted for as wide a device pool as possible. What camera applications come with Windows 10 Mobile?
