Camera OS 27 - HD & 4K

What this camera app is for

Camera OS 27 - HD & 4K is a camera app for taking everyday photos and videos. The developer describes it as a simple camera with a Liquid Glass style interface inspired by OS 27, and it offers both still photo capture and video recording in one place.

It covers the basics a phone camera is used for: framing a shot, choosing between front and back cameras, and recording video at a chosen resolution. Its video side adds Short and Time-lapse modes for quick clips and sequences of changing scenes.

Taking photos with focus, zoom and timers

You can tap the viewfinder to set focus and pick a zoom level before shooting. Front and back cameras can be switched from the same screen.

Flash, a capture timer and selectable photo aspect ratios are available for setting up a shot. The listing presents these as ways to match the framing and lighting to the scene.

Choosing HD, Full HD or 4K video

Video recording uses simple start and stop controls. You can choose HD, Full HD or 4K as the resolution, and adjust the frame rate and other quality options the camera exposes.

The developer states that 4K is available on supported rear cameras only. Available resolutions, frame rates and camera features depend on the phone and on which camera is selected, so the options shown will differ between devices.

Short clips and time-lapse sequences

Short mode is for quick clips, and Time-lapse is for recording a scene that changes over time, such as clouds moving or a space filling up. Both sit alongside regular video recording in the same app.

Neither mode is described in detail on the listing beyond these uses, so the listing gives no further settings for either.

Reviewing recent shots from the camera screen

Recent photos and videos can be opened straight from the camera, so you can check a shot without leaving the app. The interface uses Liquid Glass styling, which the developer frames as inspired by OS 27.
