Camera and photo improvements in iOS5

iPhone Camera

The camera functionality in the iPhone has always been one of my most used features. iOS5 brings some enhancements, which are listed below:

Camera improvements

  • Double-click the Home button when device is asleep to bring up a camera shortcut on iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch (4th generation)
  • Volume Up button to take a picture
  • Optional grid lines to line up shots
  • Pinch to zoom in the preview screen
  • Swipe to camera roll from preview screen
  • Tap and hold to lock focus and exposure; iPad 2 and iPod touch (4th generation) only support exposure lock

Photo improvements

  • Crop and rotate
  • Red-eye removal
  • One-tap enhance
  • Organise photos into albums

This list was taken from the official release notes, which were accessible via iTunes pre-installation.
