So, Shoot'n Zoom will adjust the camera on your behalf. The focus of the camera is continually adjusted to ensure that the subject in the center of the screen is always optimally captured. Exposure is also adjusted automatically according to the surrounding brightness. You can also lock the focus and fine-tune the exposure if needed. Check out the app's settings screen for other changeable shooting parameters. [ Always Horizontal ] To take natural photos, keeping the horizontal direction is important. Shoot'n Zoom will do it automatically. This app detects the horizontal direction from the tilt of the device during shooting and rotates the photo to be exactly horizontal. You can shoot landscapes, buildings, and people in standing poses with a natural composition. Horizontal Detection can be turned on or off both during and after shooting. [ Zoom after Shooting ] Even after shooting, you can zoom in on any part of the photo up to 12x. This allows you to cut out unwanted surroundings before saving the photo. When saving, image quality degradation can be reduced by the special algorithm of Shoot'n Zoom. In addition, you can also load a photo from your Photo Library to trim.
