BlackBerry Z3 Review: Camera and Video

The BlackBerry Z3 uses a simple camera UI. The device offers options to transition between camera, video and time shift mode on the top right corner. And in case you didn't know, the Time Shift mode can capture multiple shots, offering you the option to select the perfect shot.

The menu, itself, offers a host of options such as option to switch between front and rear cameras, different shooting modes (including Normal, Stabilization, Burst and HDR).

There are also different scene modes (Auto, Action, Whiteboard, Night and Beach or Snow) to choose from. You can also Flash toggle and also the option to select Aspect Ratio.

Heading deeper into the it, the daylight shots for the same looked decent with great macro support. Same goes for the camera's HDR mode. Of course, we still have issues with missing details and not-so-vibrant color reproduction.

Low light shots created a lot of noise as well. And although the flash might help you to rid yourself of all that, but still more work was required.
