Google Camera lends shutter control to Android Wear smartwatches

by John_A

If you’re the type that fancies snapping selfies or group shots from a distance, a pending update to Google’s Camera app should lend a hand. The new version of the software allows Android Wear smartwatches to work as remote shutter controls. What’s more, on top of tapping the watch face to snap a picture, the wearable’s screen will display a countdown with an image preview to follow. Unfortunately, that G Watch or Gear Live won’t act as a viewfinder, so you’ll need to sort the composition beforehand. The update might not show up for you in Google Play just yet, but those eager to implement the function can grab the APK over at Droid Life.
