The Camera app is faster and simpler than ever. Just point and shoot to take great pictures automatically on any PC or tablet running Windows 10.

• While recording video, pause and resume whenever you want—the Camera app can automatically stitch them all together into one video, so you can skip the boring parts and capture only what’s important.

• Use the timer to get yourself into the shot.

• Compose the perfect picture with the framing grid.

• Automatically back up your photos to OneDrive so you can get to them from any device, including your phone.

And if your device’s hardware supports it, you can:

• Save time by taking a photo of a whiteboard instead of writing it all down—the Camera app automatically makes the shot more readable. *(1,2)
