TiltlessCamera
Read full descriptionHide full description
"TiltlessCamera" is a camera with a spirit level. It is used in order to take a straight photograph. When you have your device horizontally, of course, "TiltlessCamera" operates ! So you don't need to use an app which corrects the leaning photograph. If your device's "Portrait Orientation Lock" is "ON", the green ball doesn't move correctly when your device is face up. 【Usage】 If you lean a camera, a translucent green circle will move. Therefore, move the green circle to the intersection of a cross and tap camera button. You can get a straight photograph. 【Function】 - Zoom control - Self-timer (off, 5sec, 10sec) - Back camera / Front camera - Preview
