NVIDIA’s Camera App for Android Smartphones

Functional Features

We equipped the application with the Tegra 4 processor and enabled innovative distinctive features:

• Always-on high-dynamic range (HDR) photos and videos—imaging and photography with a greater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image compared to standard digital imaging.
• Persistent tap-to-track technology—allows the user to touch the image of a person or object to focus on within a scene. The camera then locks in on that subject whether it moves or the camera is repositioned to a better angle, while maintaining proper focus. It also adjusts the camera exposure depending on any movement, helping avoid under or over-exposure of the image's subject or background.
• Individual functions for setting autofocus and autoexposure
