Microsoft today has updated its Lumia Camera 5.0 app with the usual bug fixes and improvements. The update applies only to those with are running the official Lumia Denim update and a Lumia 830, Lumia 930, or Lumia 1520.

Today's update is one of a few that have arrived over the last few weeks as Microsoft and the imaging team tweak the new much faster Camera app. Besides faster shot-to-shot and launching speed, Lumia Camera 5.0 also brings 4K video recording and Rich Capture (HDR, Dynamic Flash).

The newly updated app is now at version 5.0.2.42. No new specific features were added.

Although those with Lumia Denim can download this app, upon launching it they will be told that they need the latest update in order for the app to work. In that regard, Lumia Camera 5.0 is only good to have installed in preparation for the upgrade, but users are encouraged to stick with Lumia Camera Classic for regular usage.

Thanks, Sami P., for the tip!
