The Camera application in iOS is trivial, it has a few simple functions and that's where everything it offers us stops. Apple is not interested in implementing really useful functions in the Camera application in iOS, but here it intervenes Camera Tweak, probably the best tweak ever done for this app. Using this tweak you can add new functions both for recording photos and for recording video clips, its options being available directly in the camera interface. For the photo recording module you now have the option to separate focus from exposure, you have the option to make a timelapse by setting the number of seconds between photos, you have the option to set a timer for recording photos and finally you have the option to set an overlay over the pictures.
Add the necessary enhancements to Apple's iOS camera app. This tweak will add the following enhancements:
for the Photo camera:
- Separate Focus and Exposure views
- Lapse Timer mode
- Timer mode
- Composition overlays
for the Video camera:
- Separate Focus and Exposure views
- Frame rate settings
- Resolution settings
- Frame Guide
White balance lock for both Photo and Video cameras. This will not any entry in the settings. All options are accessed right in the camera interface.
For the video module you have the possibility to separate the focus from the exposure, we have the possibility to set the framerate for recording the video clips, we have the possibility to change the resolution at which the video clips are recorded and finally we have the option to change the ratio at which clips are recorded. Functions like this have been available for years in Android OS or even Symbian, Apple doesn't want to implement them in iOS, but it would be good to do it because they are needed. Until that happens, Camera Tweak It is available in Cydia at the price of $0.99 and it is probably the first tweak I will buy for iPhone 5. The tweak works on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5, and compatibility also exists for iOS 6.
