Camera M 4.3 Quick Change Menu Update

This update introduces an important addition to the user interface — Quick Change Menus.

By design, Camera M gives the user a fully dedicated interface for each aspect of iPhone manual camera controls: focus, exposure, and white balance. However, there are instances where you want to just have quick access to controls without opening a whole new interface. In these moments, Camera M's Quick Change Menus give you the option to use Haptic Touch to instantly change basic aspects of focus, exposure, or white balance.

Let us look at an example

Imagine you are at a beautiful landscape setting trying to capture a beautiful sunset. Your main concentration here is to get the exposure just right, using Camera M's custom exposure controls. However, you notice the focus mode is in autofocus, but the focus needs to be locked at the furthest distance. At this moment, you do not want to leave the current presentation of controls. Now you can tap and hold on Focus button to invoke Haptic Touch to bring up Quick Change Menu for focus and quickly set the focus preset to Scene and keep concentrating on the exposure.

Focus

• Set focus mode to autofocus or locked.

• Select a focus preset:

  • Scene – Sets the lens to furthest possible position. Best suited for scenic or landscape photography.

  • Macro – Sets the lens to closest possible position. Best suited for macro photography.

Exposure

• Set exposure mode to auto or locked.

• Reset exposure bias to 0 EV if altered.

• Open ISO and Exposure Duration screen.

White Balance

• Set white balance mode to auto or locked.

• Select a white balance preset:

  • Shade – 7000 Kelvin

  • Cloudy – 6000 Kelvin

  • Daylight – 5200 Kelvin

  • Fluorescent – 4000 Kelvin

  • Tungesten – 3200 Kelvin

These menus are also presented intelligently. For example, if the exposure mode is currently in auto, the menu only gives the option to lock it, or the option to resetting exposure bias is only shown if exposure bias has been altered at all.

Quick Change Menus are available for focus, exposure, and white balance when the corresponding screen is not active.

These menus are available for all iPhones and iPad running Camera M.
