Nine cool new camera features in Apple's iOS 8

A pretty good point-and-shoot camera just got better. 

Some of these improvements made it into Apple’s  AAPL -0.41%  WWDC keynote last...
week. Many did not.


– Permanent backup. Every photo and video you take is stored forever in the cloud – for a price. See The great photo shoebox in the sky.
– Exposure control. Slide your finger up and down to set the exposure. See Yahoo Tech.
– Photo editing. Crop, straighten, rotate, adjust light and color in the app. See iClarified.
– Camera timer. Set a 3- or 10-second delay. SeePetaPixel.
– Time-lapse video. For making stop-action movies. See Cult of Mac.
– Burst mode. Now available on older iPhones. SeeMacworld.
– Panorama for iPad. A feature that was missing in iOS 7. See Geekwire.
– PhotoKit. Developers get nondestructive edits, read-and-write access to the Photo library. See Apple press release.
– Credit card scanner. Not really a camera feature per se, but it’s something you’ll be able to do in iOS 8′s version of Safari. See AppleInsider.
iOS 8 is available now for developers. The rest of us are scheduled to get it this fall as a free update for newer iPhones, iPads and iPod touches.
