Video: Nokia demonstrates Lumia 925's Smart Camera app on stage in London

You could sense the palpitation in the audience packed, as you can see, with journalists raising their camera phones aloft as Nokia's Jo Harlow appeared on stage in a basketball kit in London yesterday.

The VP of smart devices' task having played the game in her youth was to score a basket and, as a result, demonstrate the Nokia Lumia 925's new Smart Camera app.

The feature, which will also be rolled out across existing Windows Phone 8 Lumia devices as part of an update set to launch this summer, takes a series of shots in quick success and allows users to play around with the photos that result to create action-packed images.

Take a look at the live demonstration below, and excuse the odd back-of-head in the way of the shot such were the numbers at Nokia's lavish London press bash that space was at a premium.
