In addition to the BlackBerry Virtual Expert update, BlackBerry has rolled out an update to the BlackBerry Priv camera app as well. This release covers the typical minor enhancements and stability fixes, improved selfie stick compatibility but the biggest highlight for this release is the addition of slow motion video.
What's New
- Users can capture smooth slow motion video with PRIV's camera that's up to four times slower. The Slow Motion function can be accessed through the camera's "Mode" button, and captures video at 120 fps which plays back smoothly at 30 fps. Audio is not enabled for slow-motion video at this time.
- Improved selfie stick compatibility
- Minor enhancements and stability fixes
Overall, it's not a massive update but it's one that is certainly appreciated. Go ahead and get it downloaded if you haven't done so already. Given the updates thus far that have appeared, some more of the preloaded Priv apps should also see updates ahead of the monthly security update roll out.

You don't need Story Maker. Slow Motion is available in the video editing. Well at least for BB10.

I wish Sony would add more features like BlackBerry does.

The slow motion video camera is going to be fun to use. I just tried it out.
Can't see that happening

Improved selfie stick compatibility. ... good on you blackberry!
Posted via -sigh- Priv. Guess we have to get used to Android guys....
A feature I will never, ever get to use.
The Priv continues to get better and better. Go BlackBerry!
Posted using my favorite BlackBerry of all time - Priv.
Just tried slo-mo video. Works great. A very cool feature!
The Priv is the Droid your looking for.
How about some BB10 functionality improvements?
Gone is the love for BB10. So sad...
Posted using the best phone ever, the Z30!
Well I hope that they keep them coming I know that once they get it right it will be just as nice as bb10

Slow Motion ...sorta like the Sales!
Posted via CB10
No proof about how many sales actually happened, until the announcement from BlackBerry's quarterly earnings, which is far form now.

I think if the sales were impressive you hear about it, not hidden in some ****** report

Sometimes it is good to have a quarterly report with all positive news and have the stock surge.... ;)

They're not even trying. Where are the incentives to lure loyal users who have bought BB10 phone after BB10 phone? Last phone I bought was a PP direct from BB and unless there's some incentive to upgrade to Priv and buy apps yet again, there's no reason to be loyal to BB anymore.
Wish there was sound in the slow motion playback
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
That would be incredibly distorted and/or disjointed to the accompanying video.
Posted via CB10
It is something the iPhone has. It could have been an option. A slow motion video of an indy car passing by with sound... sounds cool :)
Posted via PRIV by BlackBerry
I did not know that, good to know!
Posted via CB10
Also, audio is available on bb10 with slow motion video.
Buy a bb, get a droid for free
Record audio and then the slowmotion video, splice it together in a video editor or story maker, and then it's all good, but both have to be rendered in real time. Also, you'll need to make a 120 fps profile for the editing suite to not axe the frames to just 30.

Seems like BB can't get any thing right the First time,when launching a new phone,that includes BB10,pity!
All devices have issues when they launch, IPhone is full of it and Samsung always have issues and even the Nexus has issues
Posted via CB10
No device is complete. Updates is a continuous process of improving and betterment of performance. There is always scope for improvement hence the updates .
