The release brings Windows Camera up to version 2019.124.60, which is updating automatically. Before getting into the details, let’s have a look at the official changelog from Microsoft:
New shooting modes – Two new shooting modes have been added- Document and Blackboard. Bug fixes and various improvements.
Microsoft is merging some Office Lens features into Windows Camera. Blackboard is known as Whiteboard on Lens and is now available on the camera app. Whiteboard was launched by Microsoft early in 2018. The app is a collaborative service that works with inking features within Microsoft Office. Users can write content on the screen and share it with multiple users on other devices. Last year, Microsoft brought a rotation ability to the camera application on Windows 10. It is now possible to rotate the camera 90 °, 180 ° or 270 ° before taking pictures or recording videos. Furthermore, the update also introduced the ability to take a picture simply by holding down the camera button.
Camera App
As mentioned, the latest update for the app is arriving for users automatically. Still you can check out the Windows Camera app by visiting the Microsoft Store here. Among the features available on the app are:
Automatically back up your pictures so you can get to them on all your devices via OneDrive. Pause and resume while you record video to help stitch together separate moments. Jump into the picture by using the photo timer. Compose the perfect shot using the framing grid. Set the camera to capture either a rapid burst of shots or a video when you press and hold the on-screen shutter button. For pro controls, drag the shutter button toward the center and adjust the dials for brightness and more.
