Universal Camera M – Version 7 – Manual Controls, iOS 17, and iPhone 15 & iPhone 15 Pro Optimizations

[Camera M]

Camera M 7.0​

Welcome to Camera M version 7! Our biggest update yet! This update consists of three major sections – Manual controls, iOS 17, and iPhone 15.

Completely Redesigned Manual Controls​

We decided to take Camera M's manual camera controls to the next level - by redesigning the control gauges from the ground up while keeping the gesture-based control mechanism the same. The biggest design change is that the adjustment value position stays static, making it easier to read.

Responds to Touch​

This new design beautifully animates to your touch. It expands and moves toward the center of the screen while you are making adjustments, and tucks away when you are not. And yes, they do have ProMotion 120Hz support.

Fine-Tuning Feature​

Simply drag away from the gauge while making adjustments to use the 'Fine-Tuning' feature. This will slow down your adjustment, making it easier to make granular changes. Otherwise, simply press and hold to reset back to auto.

iOS 17 Optimization​

We made extensive performance upgrades to the photo capture process. We adopted the new zero lag capture feature available in iOS 17. Now there is no lag between the time you press the shutter button to capturing the shot. The subsequent adoption is the responsive capture feature which enables the next capture possible while the previously captured shot is still processing. Meanwhile, Our ultra-fast burst mode got even faster this time. All these adoptions bring incredible improvements to the photo capture process.

HDR Photo Viewing​

Now in iOS 17, Camera M displays photos in full dynamic range. ProRAW photos captured in the past and many other formats captured with the new iPhones contain extended dynamic range data which was not displayed before - such as bright specular highlights. Now, when you first view a photo, you will notice the gradual transformation to the HDR mode, if the photo contains the data.

TipKit​

With iOS 17, we bring helpful tips to reveal certain Camera M features that you might have missed.

Widgets​

We updated all our widgets to work in new places, such as MacOS, along with updated animations which are new in iOS 17.

StandBy Mode​

We added a smaller version of our Golden Hour widget for StandBy mode, which also looks great with the new Night Mode. This is by popular demand.

iPhone 15 & iPhone 15 Pro Optimizations​

iPhone 15 users can now capture HEIF, JPEG, TIFF, and PNG in 48MP with the 1x camera. 2x Camera also comes to iPhone 15 with full manual controls. Camera M is now optimized for the new 5x telephoto camera on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Overall, we made sure Camera M takes full advantage of the new iPhone hardware.

​

We are still dedicated to only using native APIs with Camera M, making it a significantly efficient and responsive camera app with a small binary size.

Camera M Version 7.3 Update

Haptic Touch EXIF Preview

So you just captured a shot, but you want to quickly double-check on the basic settings? Now you can when you Haptic Touch on the last photo button. You get a preview of the shot as usual, but now you get a strip at the bottom with the basic EXIF metadata information. This contains — focal length, aperture, ISO, exposure duration, and most importantly, the image format.

You can simply use Haptic Touch to preview this information and touch-up to make it go away. Also, this new EXIF strip fades away and gets out of the way after a few seconds.

This is also possible from the Camera M photo library grid screen with any photo or video. Please remember that this is just a summary, for a full representation of EXIF metadata, you can always open the photo and view our full representation of EXIF at any time.

Camera M 7.4 Update — New iPad Experience

This update primarily focuses on the iPad user interface. We decided to revamp the whole interface to make it more ergonomic and more user-friendly.

We usually hold iPads with both hands, which is very different from the one-handed use of iPhones. So we dedicated the right hand to all the main camera control functions and the left hand to manual controls and tools. Meanwhile, we moved out any of the controls in the bottom center. This should make a significant difference in how you use Camera M on your iPad.
