1Shot Beta

While we have access to the high resolution images captured on the Nokia Lumia 1020, y'all've got to connect your Windows Phone upwards to a reckoner and weed out the high-res files. 1Shot Beta hopes to alter all that.

The Windows Phone 8 photography app captures images at the highest resolution and saves them as a viewable file in your camera ringlet. The terminate result, direct access to the high resolution images.

The viewfinder for 1Shot Beta (not to be confused with OneShot) is spread out in no nonsense manner. Along the tiptop of the screen you'll find controls for your flash, self-timer, capture mode (single, multi-capture, subclass) and camera scenes (machine, macro, sports, night, mural, night portrait, and backlit).

In the upper left corner is an pointer that volition let you review your concluding captured images, in the upper right is access to the about screens. In the bottom left corner is your resolution and in the bottom right is access to 1Shot Beta'southward settings.

Images are captured at full resolution and at least on the Lumia 1020 at the xvi:nine attribute ratio. Should you use your camera's zoom, the resolution lowers equally you apply the zoom.

In simply tinkering with 1Shot Beta for a curt menstruum of time, the camera app performs nicely. There is noticeable lag fourth dimension betwixt capturing images on the Lumia 1020. This is understandable given the larger image file the Windows Phone is processing. 1Shot Beta is a public beta so don't be surprised if there are a few bugs under the hood. If y'all stumble upon an issue, the developer's contact information is listed on the Almost Screen.

While 1Shot Beta isn't as feature rich as Nokia Camera or gives you access to Nokia'due south zoom later feature, it does deliver an hands accessible high-resolution image. I wouldn't mind seeing an option to switch between the xvi:nine and 4:3 aspect ratios only as is, 1Shot Beta makes a nice get-go impression.

1Shot Beta is a free app, available for Windows Phone eight devices and can be snatched up here in the Windows Phone Store.
