2.1.1
2024-04-09
Version 2.1.1 fixes an issue when using bracketing in extreme exposure conditions.
Dive into the world of bracketing with Photon 2.1! Whether you're capturing challenging high-contrast scenes or experimenting with different exposure values, our new bracketing feature empowers you to unleash your creative potential. Effortlessly capture a series of photos at three different exposure levels and choose the best shot or blend them in your favorite photo editor for stunning HDR imagery. Activate bracketing by tapping the new button within the manual exposure tools (just to the left of zebra stripes). After activation you'll automatically and instantly get 3 photos when you press the shutter - one at your specified exposure, one at up to EV+2 and one at up to EV -2 within the limits of the selected camera.
Focus Peaking and Zebra Stripes are on the move! We've listened to your feedback and made these essential tools more accessible. Now, you can quickly toggle Focus Peaking and Zebra Stripes from within the manual control screens without having to deep dive into other menus. They will also stay on while active rather than fading out after a few seconds.
Say goodbye to thumbnail lag and slow shooting speeds! Our comprehensive rewrite of the storage system significantly enhances performance, ensuring you can browse your gallery smoothly and capture shots or burst photos faster than ever. Don't let a slow app keep you from capturing those fleeting moments.
Your opinion matters to us! If you have any comments, questions, problems, or suggestions please let us know via the in-app bug reporter or via support@latenitesoft.com. More than almost anything else, your feedback helps to shape the future of Photon. We look forward to hearing from you!

2.0.3
2024-03-03
The update addresses specific issues and enhances performance, particularly when working with high-resolution 48-megapixel photos.
In addition, Photon 2.0 introduced advanced White Balance tools and several enhancements to improve your photos and shooting experience. White balance is a critical component of manual controls that is often overshadowed by focus and exposure. For this update we decided to focus on it in particular, as it's our goal to continually reevaluate and improve our tools for your benefit. Here's what's new:
Advanced White Balance Tools:
* 3D Ball Control: Dive into an intuitive and precise way of setting white balance with our new 3D ball control. Adjust both temperature and tint simultaneously to get the perfect tone for every shot.
* Gray Card Detection: An 18% gray card is a standard piece of photography kit, and you can now use it with Photon! Just activate manual white balance, tap on the gray card option, point your viewfinder at the card, and tap confirm. That's it! Perfect white balance in every lighting condition has never been easier.
Fixes and Tweaks:
* Shutter Speed and ISO Stability: We have ensured controls are consistent in both orientations when shooting in 48 MP mode.
* Other minor bug fixes and tweaks.
As always, we're incredibly grateful for your continued support and feedback. Your insights are crucial in shaping Photon, and we're excited to see the stunning images you'll capture with these new features. As always, if you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or photos to share please let us know via the in-app bug reporter or via support@photon.cam.
Thank you for choosing Photon, and happy shooting!

2023-09-22
This update adds support for iOS 17, in particular zero shutter lag, and introduces a highly requested feature - Burst Mode. Let's dive right in:
Burst Mode - Capture the Moment, Frame by Frame
Photon now supports Burst Mode! This feature allows you to capture a rapid sequence of shots by simply holding down the shutter button. Whether you're chasing action shots, capturing fast-moving subjects, or simply want to explore creative possibilities, Burst Mode is your go-to tool for those dynamic moments. And if you upgrade to iOS 17, burst mode will be even faster!
iOS 17 Support
This update ensures that Photon runs smoothly on iOS 17, Apple's latest operating system. We've also started supporting new iOS 17 features with this release, by including 'Zero Shutter Lag'. This means that when you take a photo, the split second between when you tap the shutter button and the photo is captured is shorter than ever. Zero Shutter Lag means you get an image that is exactly what you expect, even during the height of action. So, if you're upgrading your device or already enjoying the latest iOS features, rest assured that Photon is right there with you.

We understand that achieving the perfect focus is crucial for capturing stunning images. With that in mind, we're excited to announce the brand-new focus loupe, so that you can now ensure pinpoint accuracy in your shots. This magnifying tool provides an up-close view of your subject, allowing you to fine-tune focus without any guesswork. Whether you're capturing intricate details or striving for the ultimate sharpness, the focus loupe is your trusted companion for achieving professional-quality photos.
You can find the focus loupe tucked neatly within the manual focus controls. Just tap on the focus button and you'll notice a new circular button on the right hand side. Tap it, and you'll have instant magnified detail. Tap the same button to dismiss, or leave it on until next time. The focus loupe will disappear when you exit manual focus, so it's there precisely when you need it, and never in the way when you don't.
Additionally, we've been hard at work addressing minor glitches and optimizing the app's performance. Your feedback fuels our continuous improvement, and we're dedicated to delivering the best photography experience with every update. We're incredibly grateful for your continued support and enthusiasm for Photon. If you have any questions, feedback, or extraordinary shots to share, feel free to reach out to us at support@photon.cam or via the in-app bug reporter.

Whether you're taking a solo selfie, a group photo, or capturing a breathtaking landscape, Photon's new timer options have got you covered.
In addition to the exciting timer feature, we've been hard at work squashing bugs and enhancing the overall performance of the app. We've fine-tuned various aspects of Photon to ensure a smoother and more reliable user experience.

We're listening, and now you can do just that via a shiny new button that appears in the menu. If you have any suggestions, comments, or requests, we'd love to hear them!
