NOKIA 1020 after update no App for 38 Mpixel photos

I bought a NOKIA 1020 yesterday. After I connected it to a wi-fi it did multiple updates and now the windows version is 8.10.14226.359.
An update in the Store was stuck and in another thread the restore factory defaults option was proposed, and so I did a factory reset after all the OS updates had taken place.
After that I also updated all applications in the Store.
The problem is, that only one Camera application is installed on the phone and I cannot find the NOKIA camera app which allows the 38 MP raw images to be captured.
I searched the Store for the NOKIA camera app, but nothing came up.
The question is how can I shoot 38 MPixel raw images in windows version 8.10.14226.359.
Thanks in advance!

The Nokia Camera app has been renamed to Lumia Camera - basically the same app but now with "Lumia" instead of "Nokia". This can be used to take full resolution raw images.

Hope you enjoy your 1020 experience, and welcome to Windows Central!

Thank you for the prompt answer!
The first photographs are truly impressive!
And the OS seems great...back to windows after 7 years and windows mobile 6.1/6.5...

You're welcome, George.

Yes, I absolutely agree with that! I won't compare it with a DSLR just yet since that would seem unfair, but the L1020 definitely takes impressive photos, add to that the modular controls of the Lumia Camera. BTW, if you have time, there's another high-rated camera app in the Store, you may want to check it out (but it's not free): ProShot. The developer, too, is quite responsive and keen on improving the app.

Yes, welcome back then! I also came from windows mobile, but I started with windows mobile 5; in fact, I still have my windows mobile 6.5.3 phone with me, and it's charging just a few meters from where I'm sitting.
