[APK] The new camera interface for the Xperia Z5 family now available

The Xperia Z5 family currently has the best camera lens that exists on a mobile device. At the moment the software of these three phones has not been able to get him all the benefit to that IMX300 camera lens, so we are waiting for the new Android 6.0 Marshmallow update like water in May to improve in this regard. Apart from that update, news was also released not long ago about a new camera interface that would arrive for these phones and the rest of the Xperia range.

It's finally here and right now Sony is deploying the updated camera app for the Xperia Z5 family: Z5, Z5 Compact and Z5 Premium. The app with version 2.0.0 not only comes with a new interface, but also has a series of new features to increase the user experience of those who have gone through the purchase of one of the best Android terminals that can be accessed right now.

A new camera interface

One of the greatest virtues that a user will access with this new interface is the ability to power change with swipes between taking pictures or video recording, which is a nice touch in itself. As a bonus, the different camera apps and the different shooting modes that are available from the app are placed in such a way that it is easier to access them without having to waste a lot of time.

Where the Japanese manufacturer has also given this app a little affection is in the portrait mode where the interface has improved to what it was before. What we can continue to miss are the manual shutter speed and manual focus controls, so it is possibly one of the debts that Sony has to its users in that Marshmallow update that has to arrive before the end of the month at all the Z5.

What the list of changes from Whats's New does collect is the reduction of the bluish tone present at certain times, which does not add anything to that blur effect that is collected in various terminals. Some users report improvements in the noise level in low light conditions and in the zoom that works better. While it does seem the clarity has improved in the photos, which means that it is not that oil painting that in certain elements it can appear.

Retail…

So with several swipes we will go through the four important modes that this app has: manual mode, superior automatic mode, video recording and the set of apps. From the superior automatic mode, as in the rest, we have the series of basic options such as switching between rear and front camera, change the flash or what would be the settings, although in automatic they are well reduced.

In the video recording we go to the same interface with the change of the red button for video capture and the rest of the icons ordered in the same way. In the manual, the expert mode, follow the same tune and nothing like that to change, apart from what the interface itself is.

The remarkable thing is that from settings now we can access some of the most used options such as the automatic counter, color and brightness and resolution, for another option that opens the rest of the settings. In this way we can access the basic options that are usually the three said for a quick modification of the capture.

El last mode takes us to 4K video, multi-camera, AR effect, video timeshift and many other apps that allow us to get more out of the camera lens from an Xperia Z5 in its three different versions.

You can access the update of the camera app from the APK belowAlthough you can always wait a bit and get it from What's New. This new version can also be used in the Xperia Z3 + / Z4.
