The camera has been the core part of the Instagram experience since the day we launched and as a result, we’ve made significant improvements to its look and speed”,said in a blog post.
Camera Redesign:
They have introduced the following changes in Instagram camera.
Instagram-themed shutter & shutter release button.
A preview of the most recent photo on your camera roll.
Improved Camera Roll image selector (iPhone 5 only) for quick access to your last photograph.
Optional grid guide for live photos and a permanent grid guide for the scale & crop screen.
Speed and reliability improvements.
New Filter: Willow
Willow is a monochrome filter with subtle purple tones and a translucent glowing white border. This filter works well on portraits, still life and architecture photographs with contrast.
Improved Tilt-Shift:
Previously there had been vast differences in the effective strength of the blur between the preview screen and the output in your feed and camera roll.Now they have updated their blur algorithm to increase quality and accuracy.Tilt-shift now gives a vastly more realistic rendering of depth of field
Other Improvements:
Other improvements are a redesigned news feed with larger images, a new welcome screen, and infinite scroll on user profiles.The best new feature is the fact that all Instagram images are now saved in their own album on the camera roll.There is also a Foursquare button on location pages that opens the Foursquare application, or mobile website, with details about the venue.
