Camera Features Of MIUI 12 Tips Online: Custom Colours, Magic Clones
& More
In the
next update, Xiaomi will be lean and usable.
Xiaomi has officially launched MIUI 12, the next big update of
its Android-based operating system. The official rollout begins next month, but
Xiaomi has already detailed some of the big new features that we should expect
from it and all the phones that will be eligible for this update. Today, we get
a sneak peek at Xiaomi's revamped camera app in MIUI 12. Designed with
simplification in mind, the new app will let you rearrange shooting modes, and
introduces new sounds and colors. New features such as Magic Clone and Magic
Kaleidoscope have also been added.
The official preview video was shared by a product director of
Xiaomi Camera, going by the handle of Queena_Xiaomi on Weibo, as reported by
Gizmochina. The executive shared a one minute video that shows some of the new
features in the upcoming app. The core theme of the new app seems to be
‘simplification.' The new app looks familiar to the existing camera app on
Xiaomi phones, but with a new color scheme and cleaner fonts.
A quick swipe down from the top, lets you quickly toggle the
aspect ratio, set a timer, add a framing grid to the viewfinder, and so on.
We're then quickly introduced to a new feature called Magic Clone, possibly for
multiplicity photography although how this would actually work is still
unclear. Next, we learn about something called Magic Kaleidoscope that would
probably let you create kaleidoscope effects from photos you take. These
features seem to be new shooting modes that should be available on any phone
that supports this version of the camera app.
We then jump to a shot that shows the lens configuration for a
periscope-style camera lens system in a smartphone, quickly followed by a
zoomed-in shot of an animated lighthouse, with 50x written in bold letters.
This could hint at some new AI algorithms built into the new app, to achieve
better quality hybrid zoom in phones with large sensors or with periscope-style
cameras. The new app also seems to introduce new camera controls, as you'll be
able to use the same shutter button to either take a still or hold the shutter
button to begin recording.
Finally, Xiaomi has added the ability to rearrange the shooting
modes within the app. This means you can have your frequently used shooting
modes front and center, instead of having to swipe around a lot. There's a
quick slide about the ability to change colors of the menus in the camera app,
which is a nice touch. You'll also be able to customize the shutter sound, for
when you take a photo.
As we mentioned earlier, Xiaomi recently introduced MIUI 12,
which is due for a June rollout. Here's a full list of all the devices that are
scheduled to receive the update.
