You will discover that it is the only one that brings you enhanced image quality that is elegant and great, in addition to that, it will bring you a wide range of new options for taking pictures. Let's talk about a set of its unique advantages:

Slow Motion: For slow motion photography, you can record video at 120 or 240 frames per second, depending on your phone's capabilities and manufacturer specifications. This is an ideal solution for creating slow-motion detail videos with advanced capabilities.
Motion Photos: By combining the motion of a three-second video with OIS and gyroscope, you'll be able to create videos completely blur-free.
Lens Blur: The lens focus feature is specially designed for capturing portraits, which leads to blurring the back screen, focusing on the front and center object, and improving its shooting accuracy.
HDR +: When capturing a series of photos, HDR + reduces Blur and Noise and enhances High Dynamic Range. Effectively, the app tries to take the sharpest image and algorithmically boosts it by processing each pixel, choosing the color that matches the average of the scene across a group of images. Among the many great benefits of the app, HDR + technology optimizes photo scenes while shooting in low and low light.
Smart Burst: Smart burst photography works to take approximately 10 photos by simply clicking on the Shutter button, so once you release the button and remove your hand from it, the application will automatically choose the best image among the photos of this group. It's a great feature to fade out photos of people who have been photographed with their eyes closed or who are still in ready mode.
Video Stabilization: Video Stabilization works with OIS and Digital Video Stabilization to process video clips and remove blemishes, as it corrects focus resolution to help create smooth, joyful videos that will not be bothered by people when sharing on social media.
Panorama: Most cameras have a panorama feature, but GCam is better than most cameras. It is not restricted to degrees or angles. You can shoot wide-angle, vertical and horizontal photos across a full 360 ° stretch. Some phone cameras already have these features, but GCam delivers unparalleled results in nearly every region.
