Capture

A major problem of mobile phone cameras is still the shutter lag, the delay that occurs between the shutter button is pressed and the photo actually being taken. Although it still exists in many phones, this undesirable effect is now much smaller thanks to technology from Scalado SpeedTags, which is built into many camera phones.

In addition, the improvements include possibilities such as filters and zoom in real time, for you to edit your photo directly on the camera. Scalado also has some new capturing technologies that are very futuristic, with the possibility of moving forward and backward in time in the images. Watch this video to see how it works.

Visualization

After capturing the image, you expect to view it directly and with ease, right? Probably, this is possible on your cell phone thanks to technology from Scalado SpeedView. The mobile phone screens are small and the images are very bigger. Watch this video to see an iPad running 10 000 high res images without loading or lag.

For you to be able to see the picture, the image has to be decreased to fit the screen. The Scalado has developed a code that will improve the viewing and organizing photos into albums in the phone, without affecting the resolution. Devices using this technology have a more fluid flow in the visualization of images stored on the device. You may be taking advantage of these improvements without even realizing it!
