Ios / / December 23, 2019
Microsoft new camera is packed full of clever features, each of which is aimed at obtaining the maximum quality photos in automatic mode. Customers who already have had time to try out the application, call it almost the best camera for the iPhone. Well, let's see if this is the case.
In developing Pix Microsoft used the achievements of their applications and Blink Selfie, putting a goal the creation of intelligent camera, which will automatically keep track of what is happening in the frame and on the fly to change the settings depending on the lighting, the distance to the subject and other factors.
In itself, the application is very simple, the interface you will find a basic set of elements, and all the smart chips hidden "under the hood". You only need to send the iPhone to the desired object and press the button - everything else will make the Pix.
When you take a picture, the camera does not one, but ten shots, then choose the three best and analyzing them using intelligent algorithms, keeps the fun. These remaining two frames are used for post-processing of the final image, then these frames are removed, so as not to take up valuable memory space.
Post-processing is automatic and takes only a few seconds. Pix is trying to make the perfect picture, analyzing for that exposure, white balance and other settings. If the frame contains people, the camera detects faces, and adjusts settings to best look they. The final result we are shown on a separate screen, where it can be compared with the usual raw images. The work of all these algorithms and smart stuff visible to the naked eye: the photo is really getting better.
For fans Microsoft Filter has taken care of the basic set of editing tools. We have access to proper pruning and multiple filters in the spirit of Instagram. Thus Pix saves all changes and allows you to return the picture to its original appearance.
Another interesting feature of Microsoft cameras are "living pictures." In order not to miss anything, the application captures a few seconds of what is happening in the picture before you press the shutter button, and a few seconds later. From these frames will be automatically created Live Photos, but only if they would be something really interesting. Wasting memory device, as does the standard iPhone camera, Pix will not.
Pix also able to shoot the usual video, allowing you to trim them, or turn in hyperlapse - smooth acceleration rollers with stabilization and the ability to select the required speed. But it is rather an added bonus, because the main task of Pix - shooting cool photos with minimal user participation, and with her camera copes very well.
Now Microsoft Pix is available only on iOS, moreover only works on iPhone 5s and newer models. Versions for Android yet.
