Samsung Galaxy S6, edge: a brief walk through the new TouchWiz camera app

The interface of the camera app, in particular, has seen a lot of love. It's been revamped to a certain extent, putting the important information up front without obtruding your photography experience. Don't get us wrong, it's still the good ol' feature-packed TouchWiz camera, but now more organized, streamlined, and unobtrusive than ever. Samsung users will probably get to feel in familiar waters in no time.

Some of the camera modes and features arenot new - mentioning fast motion, slow motion, real-time HDR preview, and panorama won't raise any eyebrows, as these have been somewhat of a standard for flagships, but we have two new entrants on that scene - Pro mode and Virtual Shot. Pro mode, on the other hand, is in fact a pretty extensive manual control for the camera, allowing you to manually set the ISO, the exposure correction, white balance, metering, as well as manual focusing. 

Virtual shot, in particular, is quite interesting - imagine a GIF file paired with a photosphere. After you shoot an object from all sides with a circular motion, you can move your phone around and the perspective of the resulting image will correspondingly shift as well, enabling you to view the object you've just shot from all sides. The best part is that it's all combined in a single file. 

The front camera comes with the following modes: selfie, wide selfie (a selfie panorama, basically), as well as virtual shot and interval shot. As you probably know, similar to the rear camera, the selfie snapper is also capable of live HDR.
