Making the most of Asha

The latest addition to Nokia’s Asha range is the 503. The phone sports various new features including a 5-megapixel camera. Here’s a list of apps designed to put that camera to good use.

Nokia’s latest addition, the Asha 503, offers an array of surprising features, including a 5-megapixel camera. It also includes a higher resolution sensor and an LED flash, making it possible to shoot better photographs, even in low light conditions. As if that wasn’t enough, the Nokia Store includes a number of great apps designed to take full advantage of each device’s imaging capabilities.

Let’s check out some of the best apps available for editing and sharing images from your Asha device:

· Photogram

Photogram allows the user to change the look of their photographs, adjusting filters to make a difference to colours and affects. The app makes it possible to take a photograph from within the app itself, or to add filters to images already in the photo gallery and to share these via preferred social networks.

· Photo Effects

Photo Effects provides a huge choice of animations that can be added to photographs. Anything from a huge collection of glasses and sunglasses, to different hairstyles and hats, fake mouths and beards can be added. The end result can be hilarious (or frightening!), but it’s good fun none the less.

· AnimationProVer3

Pressing the capture button using AnimationProV3 not only enables the Asha device to take up to five consecutive photographs, but also add affects to the images. As with Photogram it’s possible to add filters to change the colours of images, with the finished result saved as a .gif file.

· Self-Timer Camera

Self-Timer Camera is the ideal app for taking ‚Äòselfies’, offering an adjustable timer for the Nokia Asha camera. Incredibly simple and beautifully designed, one can even set it to take multiple photographs, just in case somebody moves during the first attempt.

· SpotShot Camera

SpotShot Camera allows the user to combine photographs with weather and location details. Fantastic for sending ‚Äòwish-you-were-here’ photographs to friends the app is also great for highlighting fantastic weather while on holiday or travelling.

All the above apps are designed to enable one to capture the perfect image or special moments in life by a simple click of a button. Find these together with a number of other (imaging) apps in the Nokia Store.
