App Update: Camera+ 1.2.1 update now available

Camera+ has just had another update with improved usability of the "Touch Exposure and Touch Focus" feature, as well as a whole bunch of bug fixes.

So what's new.

• greatly improved usability of our exclusive Touch Exposure and Touch Focus features so that you can now move around the controls once you lift your fingers, hopefully resulting in far fewer cases of pretzel-finger
• fixed a bug where the camera shutter button would stop functioning
• fixed a bug where double flash & flip controls would appear in the camera screen
• fixed a bug where there was a dead area with Touch Exposure and Touch Focus
• fixed a bug where the main screen shutter button wasn’t working
• fixed a bug where copying photos that were zoomed would result in unzoomed photos when pasting them
• fixed a bug where Touch Exposure and Touch Focus were using incorrect touch points if the camera was zoomed
• increased maximum zoom amount to 6× “You want the zoom? You Can’t handle the zoom!”
• various minor bug fixes and enhancements

If you have an iPhone 4 and don't already have this app, then I seriously recommend that you check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Sounds like some great tweaks and fixes, can't wait to grab the update!

Is it just me, because this app never loads -- it keeps crashing :( Help!

[Darren Stephens]

^ I've never had it crash. Try rebooting phone, or delete & reinstall

I've never really understood the purpose of this app (I haven't tried it myself). I already have Gorillacam and other camera replacement apps, but I still prefer the original iPhone camera. Someone please explain?

@Jarle
Grids, Antishake, Big Button just to name a few are not possible (yet) with original app.
With Camera+ you can tap focus and exposure seperately.

For me it's now my default phone app. The speed at which it saves images has improved dramatically, meaning you don't have to wait so long before you can take your next image. Brilliant app!

As far as I can tell, the updated version still does not preserve EXIF info on the photos it takes. I've contacted the developers asking about this but no response. Is this your experience with the app too?

@Brian: From taptaptap's blog -
Camera+ tags photos with location meta data for uploading if you share a photo to flickr/twitter from within Camera+ — of course we’d love to make it so that same metadata is exported to your camera roll when you save a photo… Sadly, that isn’t possible under the current version of the iPhone SDK, but trust me when I say the moment it is possible it will be added to Camera+

Indeed, the update really improves things...on the iPhone 4.

I just posted a new discussion asking which is more preferred as your "go-to" camera app: the native camera app or the Camera+ app.

They both have pluses and minuses...Please check out the discussion and share your ideas!
