Coming from Russia we get a glimpse of what is an invite to a Nokia event slated for August 28 in Russia’s capital Moscow.
The invite has “World premiere” written on it and is framed in front of piano keys, which sadly doesn’t give much of a hint as to what the star of the show will be.
Nokia is rumored to have a tablet running on windows RT on the way. There’s also talk of a FullHD Phablet device, which was spotted but it’s unlikely we’ll see such devices before Microsoft unleashes the GDR3 update to WP, which will allow 1080p support.
Irelands today fm (@todayfmofficial) on twitter have launched a windows phone application which is great news and a positive move that some companies are adopting to windows phone.
We where tipped of by a follower of ours called Mark Murtagh
So you should head to the store and get the application there.
Go here for the app http://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb/store/app/today-fm/f225e2ce-7e15-4461-ab22-9f00d6d1db89
The Official Today FM Windows Phone App.
The publisher is communicorp digital whom also have an app for sibling station newstalk fm.
Pro Camera is more than just an app; it’s a completely re-imagined user interface that lets you take full control of the imaging process and helps to unlock all your creative potential.
Now, Lumia 920, 925 and owners will be able to see what all the excitement is about.
Better and better experiences
While the Lumia 1020 has been called the ‘miracle’ cameraphone, Nokia’s previous PureView smartphones, the Lumia 920, Lumia 925 also boast innovations such as Optical image Stabilisation (OIS) and outstanding low light performance to pack a punch and capture ultra-sharp images.
With the addition of Pro Camera, Nokia continues to improve the imaging experience of these smartphones even further. Pro Camera also includes excellent tutorials that will help people become better photographers.
Control & Creativity
To mark the launch of the Lumia 1020, Conversations spoke withMarcus Olsson, the lead program manager for Nokia Pro Camera.
We’ve caught up with Marcus again to see what people can expect from the Pro Camera on the Nokia Lumia 925, 920 .
In fact, Marcus reveals that the early development work for Pro Camera was done on the Lumia 920.
“With Pro Camera on your Lumia PureView smartphone you will get improved control in all aspects of your photography,” says Marcus.
Instead of deep diving into complicated menus, Pro Camera offers a range of digital sliders and clear visual indicators to give you complete control over the camera settings:
Shutter speed (1/16000 to 4 seconds)
EV value
ISO (100 to 4,000)
White balance
Manual focus
Slide to zoom: One finger operation, so you can even zoom if you’re holding your PureView Lumia with one hand
Improved focus handling: Touch the screen to focus on an area and manual focus makes it easier to shoot close ups and achieve the beautiful ‘Bokeh’ effect or background blur
Video recording: Lossless 1.8x zoom and stereo recording
Reframing: Using two-fingers you can rotate the image and there’s also the ability to change the aspect ratio.
One final but really important point about Pro Camera coming to the Lumia 925, Lumia 920 and Lumia 928: You can, and you should, make it your default camera.
Set as your default, Pro Camera will be launched automatically every time you press the hardware camera button on the side of your Nokia Lumia.
Taking a photo with your Nokia Lumia will never be the same again. Simply download from the Nokia Collection of the apps store.
Nokia Lumia 925 owners can download the app from the Nokia Collection, while people with a Nokia Lumia 920 can get it after they have installed the Amber update, which starts to roll out today.
