If you just picked up a high-end Lumia model and are already jealous of the killer camera features that Nokia is adding with the Lumia 1020, don’t worry: The company plans to bring some of them to your phone as well. Nokia said this week that its Nokia Pro Camera software will soon be available on the Nokia Lumia 920, 925 and 928 models, all of which feature Nokia’s PureView camera technology. Among other things, the Pro Camera software has manual focus, controls for shutter speed and a “dual capture” feature that takes both a 41-megapixel photo and a 5-megapixel photo that can be more quickly shared on social networking sites. Nokia says that earlier PureView Lumia models will need the latest version of Amber installed to add Nokia Pro Camera to their devices.
