Camera Pro - Remote Control for Samsung Watch is an exclusive photography tool created by SmartWatch Studios. It is designed to transform Samsung smartwatches into a remote shutter and viewfinder for smartphone cameras.
Functionality and Use
Camera Pro is engineered to work seamlessly with Samsung smartwatches, enabling users to operate any Samsung camera app from their wrist. It offers the functionality to capture photos and videos using your Samsung smartwatch, provided it is connected with a compatible Samsung Galaxy smartphone model. The application also mirrors a live view of the camera app onto the smartwatch, providing a handy reference for the user.
Operation
Samsung's range of Galaxy and Gear watches offer a plethora of features that work in tandem with smartphones. Camera Pro - Remote Control for Samsung Watch is a prime example of this integration.
To use the Camera Pro, it needs to be installed on your Galaxy smartphone, with the companion app downloaded from the Samsung Galaxy Apps store onto your Galaxy or Gear wearable. The app provides options to switch between front or back cameras, toggle flash, and adjust brightness levels by using the bezel. Users can also tap the center of the screen to focus.
In addition, the settings button allows users to alter the white balance, enable HDR, and access other settings. However, it's important to note that this app is only compatible with certain models. The list of compatible devices can be found on the official app page.
Performance
