Nokia Lumia 1020’s Pro Camera app to hit 920, 925 and 928 (hands-on video)

A close look at Nokia's Pro Cam app on the Lumia 1020

One of Lumia 1020's main attractions is its Nokia Pro Camera app, which completes the phone's 41-megapixel camera with a bunch of handy features. In our video after the break, you can see Niina (not a typo) from Nokia demonstrating the manual focusing and lossless digital zooming. The latter actually works both ways: even if you've zoomed in before capture (and still get native 5-megapixel resolution), you can also zoom back out while browsing these photos, as the app captures both the zoomed-in 5-megapixel image as well as the full 38-megapixel image simultaneously. This way you can reframe the image and even focus on a different subject, as CEO Stephen Elop showed us in our earlier interview. But if you don't need this feature, you can simply set the app to capture just 5-megapixel images by default.

Nokia details its new Pro Camera app, offers manual adjustment to shutter speed and focus

Ready to pair with Nokia's new Lumia 1020 is a new Pro Camera app to go with all those megapixels. Its new Pro Camera app, not to be confused with the Lumia 925's Smart Camera app, looks to offer users more control over camera settings, with a new concentric circle system offering access to flash, focus, ISO, shutter speed, white balance and exposure. In video mode, you can shoot at 1080p at 30 frames per seconds with 4x zoom, or up to 6x zoom in 720p. You'll also be able to reframe your shots within the app too, making better use of that high-resolution 3x zoom feature and manual focus.
