Microsoft phones get flash trick for low light snaps


Microsoft

Microsoft's Lumia smartphones are getting a new feature designed to improve the quality of photos taken in low-light settings.
The facility automatically takes two photos in quick succession, one with a flash and one without.
Software then merges the two shots into a single image for which the user can adjust the amount of illumination via an on-screen slider bar.
Photo innovations are at the heart of the division's marketing efforts.
Microsoft spent much of a press conference at the Ifa tech show in Berlin detailing imaging improvements coming to both its new handsets and older models via a forthcoming software update dubbed Lumia Denim.
Marketing executive Chris Weber repeatedly claimed at the event that the company's top-end handsets outperformed Apple and Samsung's models.
