Halide expands Camera Control tools as Lux drops iPhone 16 photography review

Halide for iPhone 16 is out today with expanded Camera Control features that bring simplicity to the somewhat complex button. The makers of Halide emphasize a desire to make their app’s Camera Control features as simple and useful as tradition shutter buttons on dedicated cameras.

Halide Camera Control

Halide already supported Camera Control since the iPhone 16 launched. Users could assign the Camera Control to launch the app when clicked, and the Camera Control acted as a shutter button once the app was activated.

Starting today, Halide is gaining focus and exposure controls using the Camera Control button. Halide has also implemented a locked control feature that prevents accidental input from the new button’s swiping interface.

Take faster photos

Separately, Halide 2.17 improves shooting speed. The updated app can take photos the moment the button is pressed instead of when the button is released.

Download Halide 2.17 from the App Store to test drive the new Camera Control features. The makers of Halide have also released their in-depth review of the new iPhone 16 camera and Camera Control here.
