Google’s Camera app is getting a minor update today, bringing subtle interface changes for panoramas and a remote shutter button for Android Wear.

Google Camera panoramaVersion 2.3 of Google Camera tweaks the panorama interface with bigger dots to make tracking easier. A big blue dot turns white when a picture is taken. It’s a subtle change but makes it clear where the app wants you to point the camera.

More exciting is the addition of a remote shutter button for Android Wear smartwatches. It’s a simple app that triggers a three-second countdown timer. To get this feature, all you have to do is open the camera app and a card will automatically show up on your Wear device.

The update is rolling out slowly and it may be a few days before you see the update. If you can’t wait, Android Police has a list of mirrors where you can download the app. Find it at the source link below.

You will have to allow sideloading apps, defeating one of Android’s security measures so make sure you know what you’re doing.
