1.Indroduction
The Software Requirement Specification provides a clear overview of the systems specification or
provides an overview of the camera applications. It outlines the goal, parameters, and key terms to
direct the process and guarantee that all parties involved are aware of the project's goals.

1.1 Purpose
The documentation aims to specify the functional, non-functional and user experience specifications
for a camera application's homepage. It’s intended to act as a guide for teams working on software
quality assurance, development, and UI/UX design to produce an intuitive camera app interface. It also
ensures that the program satisfies usability and performance standards, supports taking pictures and
videos, and offers functional nonfunctional requirement for typical problems.

1.2 Project scope:

This focuses on delivering a user quality interface and responsive homepage design for mobile devices
running iOS 13 and Android 10+ which is the main goal of the scope. Future iterations might come
with further features including various filters, sophisticated video editing tools, and AI tools for better
user improvement.
Using the camera app, users can:
1. Take pictures and record videos using an easy-to-use interface.
2. Swape between the front and back cameras.
3. Change the flash's On, Off, Auto, fill Light settings.
4. Manage to captured media, navigate to a gallery.
5. Choose resolution levels (such as 1x, 2x, and 5x) to enhance visual clarity and
6. enable zooming for better pixel photo quality.
7. Set up the fundamental camera settings for future personalization.

1.3 Definitions, Acronyms, and Abbreviations
