Nokia Belle Brings Great Camera Enhancements

One of the great improvements that Nokia has packed inside the Nokia Belle platform update was related to the device’s camera.

To be more precise, the camera update packed inside the new Nokia Belle operating system is the same enhancement that was delivered to the company’s Nokia N8 smartphone a while ago. 

Thus, users who will install the new Nokia Belle platform release on their devices will notice a new, streamlined camera UI, similar to the Beta Labs N8 Camera update.

Moreover, the update brings along 30fps video recording and continuous autofocus in video close-up mode (though only N8 will benefit from it), along with a series of other enhancements. 

“The camera UI in Belle has been further improved compared to the earlier application update,” a recent post on the Nokia Beta Labs explains. 

“For example, the placement of the on-screen shutter button was changed for better ergonomics in landscape and portrait orientation, and the main controls were moved to the bottom of the viewfinder for a cleaner look.”

Those users who will update their devices to the new Nokia Belle platform version should not install the previous update on top of it to enjoy a better camera functionality on their devices. 

“If you update to Nokia Belle, we recommend not installing the earlier camera update on top of it. For that reason, we have now concluded the availability of the camera update application here at Nokia Beta Labs,” the team of developers notes. 

The Nokia Belle software update started to arrive on devices two days ago, when Nokia made it available for all owners of Nokia C6-01, C7, E6, E7, N8, X7 and Nokia Oro devices (it will also arrive on Nokia 500 in the coming weeks).

The new OS flavor is meant to arrive on devices all around the world, and can be installed only through a desktop computer, via the Nokia Suite application.
