Folks,
I have some GREAT news for you all: the Camera API in iOS8 seems to start supporting all manual settings:
– focus (on non-fixed focus devices, obviously, which means the iPad2 won’t be supported, but everything else will)
– aperture (of course none of the current iDevices have variable aperture – this aint Nokia n86)
– ISO
– shutter speed (something sorely missing on Android)
I’ve uploaded the file, AVCaptureDevice.h, which contains all the declarations of the for app developers available methods. In order to find the brand new, above methods, search for “8_0”. (Without the quotes, obviously.)
The file is at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81986513/062014/AVCaptureDevice.h
I’ll continue providing you with more info and, before long, a FULL app (with sources) that makes it possible to use the new features. (Before you ask: yes, I’ve published several of such open source apps back in the iOS7 beta days, before the final release of the OS.)
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
