At the end of February this year, Xiaomi announced the imminent release of the updated Camera 6.0 application (details), which will be integrated into major updates to HyperOS 2.2.
The company’s developers have already started releasing the first HyperOS 2.2 test firmware with a new camera for Chinese versions of flagship smartphones, and now it’s clear what’s interesting about Camera 6.0.
The Camera 6.0 app contains some improvements that significantly improve the process of taking photos on supported Xiaomi devices. The long-awaited major Camera 6.0 update focuses on performance improvements as well as new creative possibilities.
Users will immediately notice the improved processing speed when taking photos with faster shutter response and shorter processing intervals when taking consecutive shots.
The interface of the Camera 6.0 app has also been improved with improved controls and a more optimal layout, allowing easier access to advanced features.
Portrait mode has undergone significant updates with improved algorithmic edge detection, which provides a more realistic background blur. The app can now distinguish objects and backgrounds more effectively, creating high-quality portraits even in low-light conditions.
The night mode of photography in the Camera 6.0 app has also been improved with better noise reduction and light capture capabilities. New algorithms allow you to take bright, sharp pictures at night without experiencing excessive noise, as is usually the case when shooting in low-light conditions on mid-range devices.
In addition, the following features can be noted in the new 6.0 Camera included in the HyperOS 2.2 firmware:
- Professionally executed visual effects that create a more cinematic shooting effect.
- Optimized function menus and settings pages for easier operation.
- Improved street photography mode with a simplified interface, improved crop lines and a more realistic atmosphere.
- Professional mode update with redesigned interface layouts and less shadowing of the preview for more concentrated creative work.
- Optimize director mode with professional video recording and the ability to connect multiple cameras.
