Halide Camera version 1.17.1 Release Notes >

In this update, we've improved flash behavior when shooting manually, which is especially awesome if you have a third-party 'Made for iPhone' flash! We've also squashed a few bugs, and fixed a few crashes.

MANUAL FLASH

Truth me told, most of you aren't using the built-in flash, and we're proud of you. But on-camera flash can be useful in a few rare situations, such as when you need a fill light to compliment your key light. Recently the iPhone added support for third-party external flashes that plug into your lightening port, opening the door to even more advanced lighting techniques.

Unfortunately, when taking photos on an iPhone with Flash enabled, iOS really wants to pick your ISO and shutter speed settings for you. This is great if you want to just point and shoot, but frustrating if you've dialed in specific exposure settings only to have them thrown out.

In this update, when you shoot a photo with manual exposure settings, we manage the flash ourselves rather than allowing iOS to control it.

FIXES GALORE

As always, we're adding fixes to every update. We discovered an edge case where Halide would fail to cleanup backup files, which could cause it to slowly consume disk space. This is fixed, and the next time you launch Halide, it should clean up any of these temporary files lying around.

We've also fixed our top three crashes. Over 99% of all Halide sessions were already crash-free, but every fraction of a percent counts!

FEEDBACK

If you have any requests or feedback, please let us know. Just tap the support link in our bio, or reach out to us at @HalideCamera on Twitter. Happy shooting!
