It's not also articulate if that means the full range of features, including transmission controls or a restricted version. Regardless, if you cannot download Nokia Camera today, you volition be able to in the future.

Finally, for those who are having reframing bug with Nokia Photographic camera, specifically the disability to save reframes, Nokia will be pushing out an update today to fix that. Some take reported the problem on their Lumias and reportedly an uninstall/re-install could fix it.
