BASIC PHOTOGRAPHY TERMS The windows camera undoubtedly has one of the best camera UI till date. With just a flick of the camera button you're presented with all the controls at your fingertips. For people who prefer using automatic mode over manual mode, they don't have to know much. But the real fun lies in mastering the manual controls. Let's discuss about the basic terms people come across in manual mode. 1. White balance(WB) : This basically refers to how your shots look as per the lightning condition available. Our eyes have a way of adapting to the scene. A white object appears white to us despite the lightning condition. But when we take a picture that same object may appear yellow,green,orange,etc. So by manually adjusting the WB we can set the camera according to the lightning condition available so that the camera captures the actual colors. Cloudy, sunlight, incandescent, indoor light are the WB modes available in windows camera. 2. Focus : This is a ...

LUMIA PHOTOGRAPHY "THEN vs NOW"   For many years now the world has been well acquainted with the power of Nokia and Microsoft in mobile photography. When Nokia announced its world class 808 pureview phone, the world fell for its feet at its astounding 41 mp snapper and wonderful lens and camera technology. Since then it was a no stop for lumia. With the Lumia 920, 1520 and the Lumia 1020 proudly carrying the pride of mobile photography on its shoulders there was no competition whatsoever for them. But things have changed now. With the likes of iphone 6s, galaxy s7, htc 10, huawei p9 the competition has become very tough for our younger flagships, Lumia 950 and 950xl. All these companies went forward adopting newer pixel technologies for their cameras and we are still stuck with the age old pureview technology. While they do come with better camera and a better sensor-flash combo, they still fall short among the other flagships. Hopefully the next flagship or the sur...

Microsoft recently announced that a preview of Messaging Everwhere would be arriving soon for Insiders, but here at WinBeta we’ve managed to get an early first look at how the feature works.

Microsoft may have snuck in a new chipset that will be used in future Windows 10 Mobile devices. The company's hardware requirements support page has added the Qualcomm MSM8998 chipset, which is rumored to be the upcoming Snapdragon 830 processor. The support page (via NPU) does confirm the Qualcomm MSM8998 listing. A Chinese analyst stated a few months ago that was the code number for the Snapdragon 830, which he also claimed would support up to 8GB of RAM and would be made based on a 10nm architecture. It's important to note that while Microsoft's support page does indeed list the Qualcomm MSM8998 chipset, the company has not yet confirmed that it is indeed the Snapdragon 830, so take any reports based on that note with a grain of salt.

If you’re using a Lumia 950 or 950 XL with a relatively modern Snapdragon processor (namely, a Snapdragon 808 or beyond), then your hardware is fully capable of running a 64-bit operating system. That would pay dividends, potentially at least, regarding processing speed, security, and a host of other advantages. To date, though, Microsoft’s windows 10 mobile has been 32-bit, limiting the advantages that could be attained from 64-bit computing. All of that is likely set to change at some point in the future. As we Reported Earlier in this year there have been hints that Microsoft would enable ARM64 support in Windows 10 Mobile. ARM64, just as it sounds, is the 64-bit architecture that ARM implemented in the Snapdragon 808, 810, and 820 (and will be the architecture used in their mainstream SoCs going for it.  who’s decades-long career had a profound impact on the technology industry and on Microsoft specifically.
