First is the Tilt-shift Mode. This could refer to the tilt-shift photography. It may also refer to miniature faking which is a technique in photography to make the scenes appear smaller.

The OnePlus Camera app may also feature Starburst. It’s a new starburst effect that shows a radiating star-shape when the phone is pointed at a bright source. There is also the Moon Mode to help capture images of the moon or the night sky. The app may include new filters to adjust the color of the moon.

The camera app may also include Hyperlapse which is different from time-lapse mode. It may add movement over long-distances. Last but not least is Focus peaking. This focus peaking feature could highlight in-focus areas in the viewfinder.
