The auto- and live-leveling are certainly 1 of the neater things we've used. Auto leveling is used with the app's congenital-in photo editor, which was enabled with version 2.0. In and of itself that fabricated OneShot a slap-up bargain since not but tin can you lot shoot photos but you tin can edit them within the aforementioned app. Auto straightening is only that—it volition marshal the photograph to the horizon later, using data from the phone's accelerometer. Pretty awesome.

Live straightening, optionally enabled via Settings, is even improve. It volition adjust the rotation in existent-fourth dimension while taking a picture, although if you're angled past 25°, it volition disable (since y'all probably want to angle the shot). That's a real useful characteristic for capturing vista shots as information technology volition salvage time in post-editing and you won't lose any of the image. It's also the first fourth dimension nosotros've seen this enabled on Windows Telephone.
