Windows Phone 8.1 camera demoed on video

[Rushil]

Time for yet another Windows Phone 8.1 video demo – this time it focuses on the revamped camera interface. The camera UI on Windows Phone 8 was the one of the most innovative interfaces of recent years and the 8.1 update builds on that.

The default WP8.1 camera is called Microsoft Camera. Changes to it include a column of settings on the left side of the screen. Those can be customized with any five of the multiple settings available in the camera
.
Also, a Burst shot button has been placed between the Still and Video mode buttons. Unsaved bursts are deleted after 7 days by default to save space, but you can change that setting.

An option in the Settings menu groups photos by time and location, which we've seen in galleries on iOS and Android.

Microsoft confirms Windows Phone 8.1 as the official name

Microsoft confirms Windows Phone 8.1 as the official name

Microsoft is weird. Instead of revealing the name of its next major operating system update at their Mobile World Congress press event where they talked about its new features and new hardware partners, the company has chosen to go the more Microsoftian (read: sillier) route. On a sleepy Sunday in March, Microsoft flipped a switch somewhere and is now showing which apps in the Store will work with “Windows Phone 8.1″. This is about as good of a confirmation of the operating system as we’re going to get before Build 2014 in a few weeks’ time.
