I'm writing a faster camera app (with full resolution support) for Lumia 1020...

If you like the speed of the built-in camera app and the full resolution support in Nokia camera app, you may want to try this.
Camera 1020 - Photo | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

This app is still in very early beta. I implemented tap-to-shoot, burst mode and basic movie recording.

This app requires Windows Phone 8.1 Preview.

This app is still in very early beta. I implemented tap-to-shoot and burst mode. No focus indicator and movie mode yet.

Well ill be honest, in opening, speed is way way faster just as you told but there could be done tweaks.
1--The layout aka menu as it's cluttered and not understandable so since its BETA I'll pass the obstacles
2--You could also the add the option for 5 Mpx only and 5+34/38 mpx
depending on aspect ratio
3-- change aspect ratio
4--manual controls

So yeah that's pretty much it but once again, great job on this app and I hope that you do better!

I'll keep trying to make it easier to use and add more functions, as long as the speed remains faster. And thanks for your feedback!

I'll follow this.
It's very fast even on my 520, the only downside is that it doesn't focus properly (or doesn't focus at all) when I take any picture.
Keep going at it, you need to polish this diamond.

Did you use tap-to-shoot or clicked the bottom-left icon when taking a picture? The bottom-left icon is to take a picture with infinite focus. I know it has some problem right now.

Oh wow, that makes sense.

So that's why my pictures were blurry well risks for the tip...!

Well yes thanks for showing great support and also your welcome.

Looks very interesting. I am interested finding the best still photo apps for Lumia 1020.

 

[kishtyle]

Thank you very much. Your effort is really commendable. I have checked the app and its quite fast and I am sure you will be working on the improvements. I would like to suggest to include some basic features such as
1. preview of photos or link to the photo gallery,
2. some extra settings like on ProShot camera app which has manual settings like on DSLR

Hope others will also have more comments on this and eventually hope you will give us a very fast camera app comparable to the native Nokia camera app.

Dng format support?

Dng format support?

Sadly not possible unless Microsoft and Nokia open the API for dng.

Ability to MF and flip the viewfinder on the vertical axis would be awesome! When using a DOF adapter the image is always upside down in the viewfinder, so being able to flip would be a huge win for this app IMO.

 

[zxli]

MF will definitely be considered in the future release. I implemented "infinite focus" in the current release. But I notice the picture is a little blurred when taking many landscape scenes (where focus could be considered as infinite). So I need some time to understand how MF works at API level and how the pictures look like when using MF.

What do you mean "DOF adapter"?

[ArthJar]

DOF means "depth of field" if I'm correct.

 

[Luminara]

It does launch super fast and capture super fast. I'm just curious if it is possible to keep this speed once a ton of manual controls and the over-sampling trick are added.

 

[Shinku5]

Please add ISO 50 and 8000 Support and 30 seconds shutter speed.

 

[girishN]

How about shoot with voice command? Very handy.

 

[zxli]

I can understand "DOF". Just don't get what "DOF adapter" refers to.

DOF means "depth of field" if I'm correct.

Installed, open, phone crashed. Still trying it out though. Looks promising and keep up the good work...
