New features: Save directly to Camera Roll and share on Instagram & Tumblr

We have launched the new version of Camera Plus Pro (v4.6) today. And this is a major update for Camera Plus Pro users who not only love snapping great photos & videos but do not want to miss an opportunity snapping a picture-perfect moment! Following new additions to Camera Plus Pro app would take your iPhone photography to the next level:

- Share photos on Instagram
- Share photos and videos on Tumblr
- Option to save photos and videos directly to Camera Roll
- Preview and share photos and videos from Camera Roll
- Preview and share videos at 640×480 (480p) resolution

Let’s see each of these features in detail.

Share photos on Instagram:

Camera Plus Pro allows you to take beautiful photos and further enhance your photos with editing, filters and borders. And now you have one more photo sharing site, Instagram, to showcase your great photos from Camera Plus Pro. Choose a photo from Camera Plus Pro and tap on the Instagram icon in the Share screen to post it onto Instagram for other Instagrammers to appreciate your photos! At the moment you can post one photo at a time to Instagram. Btw, we have re-designed the Share screen!

Share photos and videos on Tumblr:

Great photos and videos tend to be shared everywhere and Tumblr is another place where you can see a plenty of them. Many of you asked us to provide an option to share your beautiful photos and videos onto Tumblr and ta-da, here it is! While there’s no restriction from Tumblr to get photos out there, you need to be sure to share videos of under 5-minute length. Even though you upload a video of more than 5 minutes of length, Tumblr would play only the first 5 minutes of your video. No, it’s not us, Tumblr says it so. We know a secret! You can shoot beautiful Time-Lapse videos in Camera Plus Pro and share it on Tumblr.

Option to save photos and videos directly to Camera Roll:

Now you have an option to choose where you would like to save your photos and videos from the capture screen. Just do a long tap on the Library icon from the camera screen and you can choose the option from the pop-up either to save in Camera Roll or Quick Roll. With this option you can take great photos with already-in-place great camera controls like a separate White Balance Exposure lock, Focus lock, Grid, Anti-Shake (Stabilizer) and Big Button (touch the screen to take a photo).

And what if you are in the Quick Roll library and wanted to switch to Camera Roll? Simple! Just tap on the ‘Quick Roll’ on the top bar in the Quick Roll library and you’d get a drop-down with an option to switch to Camera Roll. And, follow the same step to switch to Quick Roll from Camera Roll in this mode. All in all, you have the freedom to choose where your photos and videos should be residing or may be which ones should go where.

Preview and share photos and videos from Camera Roll:

By the way, when you are in Camera Roll mode, you can preview photos and videos, and import them to Quick Roll for further enhancement with robust photo editing tools or with great collection of photo filters. Tap and hold onto a photo or video and you can instantly share it on various photo/video sharing sites. In the next update you are going to see some more nifty features in this section.

Preview and share videos at 640×480 (480p) resolution:

From the video sharing screen you can now preview the video before you upload them. In addition, Camera Plus Pro now uploads a video in a better quality improving the video playback experience of others watching your video. The uploading is quick too.

The new update has some great improvements in the shooting and sharing section and we are committed to bringing you better updates.

Go ahead, download Camera Plus Pro and enjoy all new features that make you become a pro iPhoneographer. Don’t forget to share your feedback and comments with us while leaving a great review on the App Store!

It’s been a while since we started working on the Camera Plus Pro v4.5 update, and the update is now out there on the iTunes App Store for your iPhone 5, iPod touch 5 and other devices as well.

There are some new feature additions in this update that would aid you to capture some great photos and videos:

Focus Lock: You can now lock the focus on your iPhone 5, 4S, 4, 3GS and iPod touch 5. Point the camera at the object/scenery you want to capture, and then tap and hold your finger for more than 2 seconds on the camera screen where you want the focus to be locked. The focus grid will then animate to show that it’s locking the focus. The lock icon in the middle of the square will indicate that the focus is locked. You can move your camera anywhere and the focus will be locked till you take a photo or just tap to release.

Camera Plus Pro already has an independent exposure lock. Just tap on the screen and swipe your finger around to see the exposure wheel following your finger movement to set the exposure level.

You now have focus lock, exposure control and white balance independent of one another to adjust and snap great photos with more detail and clarity.

ISO 3200 support in low-lighting conditions: Apple with its latest iPhone 5 introduced ISO 3200 support to snap better photos in the low-lighting conditions along with noise reduction. Camera Plus Pro has incorporated this feature to produce better photos that you might snap in low-lighting scenarios.

iOS 6-compatible and 4-inch display ready: Camera Plus Pro is leveraging the fast photo capture performance which is in-built in the newer iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 6. Some of the interfaces like Photo Capture screen, Quick Roll and Share have been completely re-designed, which looks great on the gorgeous 4-inch display on the iPhone 5 and iPod touch 5. There’s no more crash-on-launch on the iPod touch 5! There are other interface clean-ups and new icons for some of the action buttons, which not only gives a better look and feel to the UI but also improves workflow as well.

Password backup option for Private Collection: Many of us don’t have the tendency of noting down the password – maybe thinking that it’s too easy with a gut feeling we will never forget it or are just too lazy to write it down/update in the password listing apps. Even though we have put up a friendly message to jot down your password set for the Private Collection in Camera Plus Pro, many of you have lost the password. We now have provided an option to email your password to your account when you set or change the password. And, the app can’t get your password in case you forget it. So, we suggest you to make use of this feature if you don’t have the habit of noting down the password!

There are many more improvements with the photo upload on Facebook, Twitter,Picasa and Flickr. Video upload on Facebook and YouTube is much faster. You can see the progress bar moving as the upload is progressing.

Camera Plus Pro runs on the iPad and iPad mini at 1x or 2x size. Though the interface is not native, the app snaps photos and videos at full resolution on these devices. Some of you had reported about the Live Photo Filter not working on the iPad along with few other minor bugs. All of these have been fixed in the new update.

With this new version, an era of support for iPhone 3G devices comes to an end. It was technically impossible for us to support newer features on the iPhone 3G. With Apple selling more and more newer iPhones, everyone might have moved onto the latest devices, and they can now enjoy the new version of Camera Plus Pro on the newer devices.

We hope the new version will appeal to every iPhoneographer. So what are you waiting for? Go get Camera Plus Pro and snap some great photos and videos, and share with the world! Don’t forget to rate/review this app and provide us your feedback.
