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.
Finally things have settled between the two giants we now have the official windows phone you tube application,you can also upload from your gallery too which is an added bonus,this again is another step forward with windows phone and the application growth.
As you can see it works perfect on my nokia lumia 925 so go get it now.

Several networks today have confirmed the nokia lumia 625 they are meteor/emobile and vodafone.
On hearing today the 625 will be available in the uk shortly i asked all networks what was happening with the 625.
So i asked 3,already they have said no to the 1020 but not only that they have not stocked ANY lumia model since the 800.
Lots of people wonder and ask on popular forums here in ireland why this relastionship with 3 and the nokia lumia line up.
There is two main reasons for this and the answers to that are on the forums if you use google you can find out.
3 and their ignorance to the lumia line up is simply a silly move and has left many customers in anger and have subsequently switched providers due to this carry on.Considered 3 in the uk have a different take on the lumia line up one wonders what is going on here.
Nokia today announced that the nokia lumia 625 would be available in the UK for the 28th of august.
So we asked the irish carriers today what was their stance on the upcoming biggest WP8 device to date from nokia.
So here is our conversations on twitter today for those interested in purchasing the 625.
METEOR.
E-MOBILE
VODAFONE
Finally 02 say they are testing the device at the moment but we are confident they will stock the 625 as they have been supportive of the windows phone range and are also the only network to have confirmed stocking the lumia 1020.
Stay in touch when we will bring you the latest info,there is no pricing available as yet of exact release date here in ireland.
As the release date of September draws closer the nokia lumia 1020 is nokias most anticipated device.
So far the 1020 is only been offered by 02 and nobody else,we have contacted the rest and have just go subliminal replies to which we know the answer to.
Any network not to stock this is stupid,just stupid and the current status now is favoring 02 as if the rest don’t offer it people will switch carrier.
3 ireland have an issue with nokia and BLATANTLY REFUSE to sell nokia lumia devices but do sell htc windows phone handsets.
I have my own thoughts along with many others on 3s general status in the market and who is telling them what to sell.
Marketing is another issue,HAVE YOU SEEN ANY? Are you aware of the device and most importantly are you going to buy one.
Answer our poll below and we will send it to the people who need to see it,remember customers are key and its up to the provider to satisfy the customer,we have seen some turnarounds in the past due to pressure from the public.
