HTC which is know for its smartphone family first time introduced a stand-alone camera with the title of HTC RE. This is not an ordinary camera.Its design,working and using makes it unique.
HTC launches Re, a cool device to capture pictures and video
Re never had a viewfinder, screen and controls other than a shutter release button . The device looks like a small periscope, hand shower etc but actually it is an action camera. Its curved design allows you to take photos and capture every moment without much hassle which you usually face while taking photos from wide smartphones and traditonal cameras. As mentioned above RE does not have any viewfinder so you can also enjoy the actual scene which you normally miss while focusing just on screens.One of the biggest benefit of this device is that it can be pulled out of a pocket in a moment and is instantly ready to capture either a photo or a video.Thanks to HTC they made it waterproof. It’s waterproof ability lasts for 30 mins under 1 meter water. You can also pair it with your smartphone using RE app , which allows you to quickly view and transfer images and videos.
Structure :
There are two physical buttons on the camera, one on the front and one on the back and a pair of indicator LEDs along with microUSB port and microSD card slot.
If we press and release the shutter button situated at the back it takes a photo but if we hold the button continously it starts recording a video . Press the button on the front of the camera to activate slow motion mode. The camera indicate its activities through beeps every time when you do, recording, switching modes, or taking a photo ─ good news is that there is also a silent mode.
