All you need to know about BlackBerry Z10 camera

The BlackBerry Z10 features an 8 megapixel camera at the rear of the handset. It’s coupled with a single LED to be used as a flash for low light pictures or whenever necessary. The camera can easily be accessed even from the lock screen icon by simply keeping the icon pressed for a few seconds. A dedicated camera option is also embedded into the system and is always present from the main menus or the Live apps page. Features include a Burst Mode setting to capture multiple images in quick success.

Say Cheese…. Click!

You’ll be able to pinpoint and adjust elements of your picture to get the photo you want.

Burst mode and Best Shot are also featured in many camera apps for various smartphone platforms—for example, Fast Burst Camera for Android and Photoburst for iPhone can shoot around 10 photos per seconds. This works great for action shots, however it doesn’t rule out the slight chance that someone or the other in a group blinks or looks away in every frame.
