Mobile Photography – Halide Camera App Updated for iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro

Halide have developed an update to their popular mobile photography app specifically for the new Apple iPhone 11 and iPhone Pro. The latest update includes a tactile lens switcher, allowing for a fast and intuitive way to switch between the Wide, Ultra Wide and Telephoto lenses on the iPhone Pro. What makes this switcher really unique is that once you’re familiar with the menu, you can press-and-flick from the lens button to quickly change lenses. This is a fast, natural way to switch lenses. 

iPhone 11 Pro Lens Guides

Halide have also incorporated lens guides to help with the composition options with the new cameras.

Wide Angle Depth

It’s now possible to capture depth with the wide angle lens on both the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro now.

Smart RAW Goes to 11

This update features Halide’s first version of Smart RAW for iPhone 11 and 11 Pro. This is going to be tweaked shortly too, to get better RAW files from these cameras.

Note

The ultra wide camera does not support manual focus or RAW capture and this is not a bug. The ultra wide camera has fixed focus. At this moment in time iOS does not support RAW on that camera.

If you don’t have an iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro?

This update also brings minor fixes and enhancements for all iPhones as well a massive speed increase for viewing RAW files in the reviewer.
