Camera Genie is an easy to use slow shutter and filter effect camera application.
Camera Genie is the first simulated slow-shutter application available on the android market!
It also doubles as a special effect filtering camera application (these are two entirely seperate features!)
Camera Genie always uses your rear(main) camera, with flash off, and automatically focuses (you can also tap to focus).
*** Designed SOLEY for the "SAMSUNG GALAXY S2"
*** Support for other brands is COMING SOON!
Features (Summary):
- Slow-Shutter Photos (with adjustable shutter time, exposure level and a genie mode)
- SFX Filter Photos (with 10 unique filters)
- Timer
Example Uses:
- Take great photos at night and in pubs/clubs with no effort using virtual flash! ("Brighten / vFlash" filter)
- Take gorgeous slow-shutter scenes with your phone when you left your Pro DSLR camera at home ;)
- Take beautifully vibrant photos with no effort using the "Colour Enhance" filter! (or Slow-Shutter with extra exposure)
- Let your creative juices flow with the Genie mode and with several artistic filters!
Features (Breakdown)
*** Slow-Shutter (non-Genie mode) ***
A slow-shutter photo, is a photo where the shutter remains open for an extended period of time. This means that any motion that occurs infront of the camera during that period is captured by the sensor, it also means that more light is absorbed leading to overexposure. This is the technique used by photographers to take beautiful city light shots where the cars are nothing but red and white lightning streaming over the road.
Of course, this application simulates taking a slow shutter photo, so your photos will never get overexposed unless you want them to (this is handy for night time city scenes to make the street lights and moving vehicles appear vibrant and beautiful).
You can choose to deliberately underexpose or overexpose your slow-shutter scene, or simply keep it balanced.
This application works by taking multiple photos and processing them in the shortest interval achievable by your phones hardware. Heavy processing occurs so you (the photographer!) get to choose how you want to best use your phones resources, either favour a high framerate (more snaps taken, for more accurate motion capture) or favour high resolution (a higher megapixel photo).
For the best results, keep your phone perfectly still (mount it to something and use the timer feature to avoid camera shake).
*** Slow-Shutter (Genie mode) ***
Camera Genie wouldn't be a Genie without its own special 'Genie' mode. A Genie Photo is a slow-shutter photo where exposure levels are handled automatically and intelligently by the app. This is a special effect which captures only the
brightest objects that move around in the scene. Think of a green screen effect... If a person were to wear all black and carry an object into your scene, they'd be invsible but the object wouldn't!
Be creative, the world is your oyster with this feature!
*** SFX Filters ***
My Favourites:
- Colour Enhance
Takes a beautiful vibrant photo, all the colours are enriched. This is great for night time shots. This filter can even give
the impression of a slow-shutter exposure despite being a single snap!
- Overexpose
A more powerful version of "Colour Enhance", Use this for extremely dark scenes.
- Brighten / vFlash
Brings up the dark areas of your photo, this is designed for taking photos in pubs, clubs and house parties at night! This
produces high quality photos at night time without (and infact far better than!) using a flash.
- Alien World
This awesome filter completely alters the colours of your photo, making any outdoor scene look like another world! Produces
almost magical looking snaps. Be creative! =)
Other Filters included:
- Oil Painting
- Simplification
- Colour Decay
- Old Photo (B&W)
- Old Photo (sepia)
- Very Old Photo
*** Timer ***
A countdown timer so you can stabalise your phone, click and walk away.
