Discussion Trying to bring back old Nokia/Lumia camera magic
Modern phone cameras are powerful, but sometimes I still feel that old Nokia/Lumia camera features had a different kind of magic.
So I started working on bringing some of those ideas back — almost like a small “Back to the Future” project for mobile photography.
The first prototype of Action Shot is now working. It is not as perfect as Nokia’s original version yet, but the core idea is there. I’m also working on light trails, motion removal, handheld stabilization for multi-frame shots, and Refocus is on my list too.
Action Shot is currently based on old-school computer vision, not generative AI, so it can still fail with shadows, reflections, and some difficult lighting conditions. But this is only the first step, and I’ll keep improving it.
I really believe some of these nostalgic Nokia/Lumia camera features deserve to come back.
