The product is equipped with a super-wide-angle lens that captures a 190.8° (still image) and 170.4° (movie) field of view, which delivers realistic images against a wide background.
The camera is also rendered with a movie function that enables simple switch to super slow motion so that users can highlight the most decisive moments.
"Bumper protectors are used throughout to protect the lens and buttons against drops and impacts, as well as to guide the fingers to the buttons," the company said.

The app features a remote capture mode that allows users to trigger the camera without looking at the phone so they can concentrate on the activity at hand.
