Whats the benefits of Living Images?

[Artur Meireles]

Its a cool feature but whats the point of having living images?

I'm wondering the same thing. I've been using it since it went live and like you said, it's cool, but I can't really think of a reason to keep it enabled.

I think it looks (or will look) neat when using Nokia Storyteller, it can make movies stringing your still photos and the living images together with music and transitions.

Its kind of gimmicky, but I had a similar feature on my HTC One, I think it was called Zoe. It made neat little videos sometimes.

I think they mostly added it as a gimmick which indeed has the mist primary function to look cool and impress your friends. With the competition catching up in terms of imaging and camera functions, they have to keep moving and offer new stuff to make them stand out from the rest of the crowd.

When my son saw it for the first time, he said it was like the pictures in the newspapers from Harry Potter.

It'd probably be more useful if you could actually share the animated/video part.

It's so great, hope it comes to my L1020!

Living image is a useless feature, at least for me Θ_Θ

Ya, but it would be nice if you can see the pictures in the story teller app

There have been some rumors recently that the 1020 won't get Living Images in the final Cyan firmware.

is it coming for low ram devices like mu lumia 720 anytime?

Doesn't matter about ram, but 720 will not get this because living image only for pureview lumias

Anyone know how to turn this off? I looked in settings.

Simply use nokia camera, only nokia camera beta got living images.

but nokia (now Microsoft) has always brought down features from its higher end devices.. take the new nokia camera app for example, which had been initially available only for purview devices. and considering Microsoft gave all of us the third live tile column, I think we can hope living images also comes to lower end phones in the near future.
