Showtime up, the photographic camera features.

Autofix: Employ some mutual photographic fixes to a motion picture, on your phone, in 1 tap. It'south designed to make a good picture meliorate and whatever edits applied tin can be undone.

Affect focus and capture: Tap any spot on the screen to focus there and have the shot. (This varies co-ordinate to hardware—some phones will accept tap-to-capture but will still automatically eye focus.). This will help you lot pre-focus and frame your photos.

Sticky settings: Salvage your custom camera settings for next time. I don't know about the residue of the earth but it is the most frustrating thing to have to manually configure your camera every time you turn it on. A much welcomed update feature!

Ability to mute the shutter sound: Good for taking pictures at those school holiday pageants, golf tournaments (don't want to irritate Tiger), church functions, of the new born baby who finally went to sleep or anywhere else that silence is the standard (not available in all countries and regions).

Review pictures above the lock: Snap a photograph when your telephone is locked, and so take a peek at it above the lock. You'll only be able to get to photos you lot but took—amend for security.

Changes for portrait orientation: Now, when you lot have a picture in portrait orientation, you'll come across it in portrait orientation when you review it.

Pictures Hub

And don't remember Mango has forgotten well-nigh the photos. Here are the new features headed to the Windows Phone that bargain with how we share our pictures.

Video sharing: Ship your vids in e-mail or postal service them to Facebook or SkyDrive. Gone are the days yous have to ship the video to your PC and so share it.

Better Social Network Integration: Tweet your pics, savour easy picture tagging on upload to Facebook or SkyDrive and view/add tags on your friends' Facebook and SkyDrive pictures.

People view:Run into snapshots and albums from your favorite contacts in the Pictures Hub.

Personalize: Tag some favorites and choose Shuffle background in the Pictures Hub, and you'll see your favorite photos on the Hub and on Starting time. We already have the ways to personalize the Hub with a unmarried photograph only it will be cool to have your own personal slide show on brandish.

Online photo access: When yous choose a photo from within an app, you tin now pick from online albums on Facebook or SkyDrive, not just pictures saved on your phone.

Quick access to the Camera Roll: Before, it took two taps in the Pictures Hub to go the photos you've snapped. Now it'south front end and center.

Apps pane: Developers tin can register their photo-related apps to show up in the Pictures Hub for easy access.

Autoshare to SkyDrive changed: The automated upload to Skydrive has been changed, when turned on, to automatically upload a lower-res version of every picture yous take to a private location on SkyDrive. You tin can all the same manually upload full resolution images merely this gives you lot a individual, low-res fill-in choice for your camera roll.

Album Pinning: Pivot whatsoever album to Offset, including Facebook albums.

The Mango update for the Windows Phone definitely gives the Windows Phone camera stronger legs to stand on. I still think we need to ameliorate the hardware (e.g. ameliorate quality glass, mechanical shutters, etc.) simply on the software side, things are definitely looking good.
