As smartphone cameras catch up to digital cameras with every waking second, Instagram has now created a new feature, compatible with Android technology, that enables low light photography – among other features – to rival DSLRs and mirrorless cameras.
The ‘Night Mode’ feature utilizes Android’s Camera Extensions API for Google’s Pixel and Samsung Galaxy smartphones. It allows Android apps to access device-specific camera features – optimized by the device manufacturer – promising the best performance and easy integration.
