Camera+ 1.2 Available: Brings Touch Exposure, “Drag to Focus” and Flashlight

When we say “one hell of an update”, this is what we mean: we reviewed Camera+ for iPhone a few days ago, and now it feels like a brand new app. The new 1.2 update, which has just been released in the App Store, brings support for touch exposure, touch focus and Photo Flashlight.

It’s available here.

Touch exposure allows you to set exposure separately from the focus: with one finger you control focus, with another one you set exposure. As for focus, unlike Apple’s “tap to focus” the developers have implemented “drag to focus”, which is pretty neat.

Other new features from the changelog:

- Photo Flashlight: use the iPhone 4 LED flash as a continuous fill light to improve photo quality, especially for portrait and macro shots

- speed of photo taking is now lightning fast

- the high quality zoom control now works on iOS 4- stabilizer improvements

- detailed metadata is now uploaded to photos shared on Flickr

- fixed a bug where the camera shutter button would stop functioning

- fixed a bug where photos wouldn’t display in the Lightbox on an iPad when in 2× magnification mode #weird

- various minor bug fixes and enhancements

A great update for the best photography app for iPhone out there. [thanks, @pdparticle]
