Description

From the listing uploaded by “chris-bayne”.

The simplest way to shoot beautiful photos. Knowing photography is a pretty handy skill. After all, these days everything involves a bit of photography - whether you're on a holiday, at work or even want to send someone a photo of what you are having for dinner. What this means is that you need to know how to operate a camera. Well, thankfully the best place to start is here. Say cheese to the Android Camera. Features: Quick access to the camera: Found a perfect moment? Worried it may slip away by the time you unlock your phone? Well, thankfully now you do not have to worry anymore. You can simply swipe and click instantly without unlocking your screen. Different modes: Love shooting portraits? Or are you fan of landscapes? Now click any subject as the camera adjusts to both modes with ease. Touch and fine-tune: All you need to do is touch the screen to make little adjustments. For instance, this includes adjusting the white balance, focussing on the subject and even turning the flash on and off or leaving it on auto. Shoot videos as well as photos: Sometimes a video can tell a story a photo just cannot. Luckily, you can switch between shooting photos and videos in just a flash and with a single tap. There are plenty of little features that will guarantee to keep your finger on the shutter. So go on and get ready to turn every moment into a memory with your Android Camera.

Security & authenticity

Security rating: Trusted

Signing certificate

Certificate issued to “Android” Not the developer's name. Names in certificates can't be verified, so this alone proves nothing.
The same certificate signs apps from 3 different developers Developers normally sign only their own apps. This can mean the files were re-signed by someone else — or that one company builds or publishes apps under several names.

Camera APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Camera APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. Its signing certificate is also used for apps from 3 different developers. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is fe995908e8bc100a4f7c327d161f3c01.
