Anyone here taken a sphere photo using the google camera? I cant seem to get it to work even with googling how to. I downloaded the latest version of the camera(Version 2.5) from play store and I just don't seem to have the option to take the photo. I'm using an LG G4 beat with android version 5.1.1

Not sure about taking a sphere photo using Google camera, but would taking a photo using a Fish-Eye lens turn out similar to a sphere photo?

 

Ordered a 3-in-1 multifunctional camera lens for my iPhone from Takealot the other day, comes with a Fish-Eye, Wide Angle, and Macro lens.

 

I see iToys has a universal 3-in-1 camera lens set, which should work on most phones.

But as I say, I'm not too sure if a fish-eye photo would be the same as a spherical photo.

 

If you're interested in getting a lens set, maybe first get in contact with iToys and ask them if the lens set will work on your phone.

Thanks for the info, Its definitely worth a try, In fact fish eye might even be better now that I think of it as it will be a whole lot easier to take the photo and probably look much better when viewing(as i am no professional photographer). I'm sure the sphere photo is difficult to do.

I was looking at some of the sphere photos taken from the top of chapmans peak on google maps and they look really awesome so that's what got me interested.
