							By default, the Camera app detects the conditions of the scene you want to take a picture or video of, and suggests the settings to use. Automatic suggestions allow you to focus less on the Camera app and more on capturing the moment! And, 
if you take a picture using Time Shift mode, you now have the option to save the picture and edit it later.
The Camera app also has new menu options. You can create a panoramic image, and you can set a higher frame rate (60 
fps) when recording a video, which is useful when recording fast-moving objects.
If your BlackBerry device uses BlackBerry Balance technology, a Camera app is now also available in your work space.
