Microsoft Lumia 535: Camera and Video

The Lumia 535's back camera was pretty good when we got a chance to play around with it. It uses a 5MP resolution. Photos taken using the camera offers high in detail, even colors tend to look natural.

The camera on the Lumia 535 is equipped to record 480p videos (only). The phone performs best in natural light and much poor in low light conditions.

You now also get 5MP front-facing shooter with a wide angle lens. Users can even take ‘group selfies' using the 5MP front shooter. The performance seemed satisfactory to us.
