Halide Camera App Gets In-App Support for iPhone 15 Pro Action Button

The popular Halide camera app has been updated with in-app support for the new Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

In addition to being able to launch Halide with the Action button, iPhone 15 Pro users can also set the Action button to perform various functions when the camera app is open.

Here's a look at what's new in Halide 2.13...

WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION

Lights. Camera. Action Button.
Halide 2.13 is here, and it's an especially powerful update for all our iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max users. Not only do we pack in support to get the best shots from your new cameras — we enable you to do something that no camera on an iPhone has ever been able to do.

Let's dig in.

ACTION BUTTON AND IN-APP TRIGGERS

Action button on iPhone lets you quickly call up an app from anywhere or even perform a set of actions with a Shortcut. But Halide takes this even further: with the new Action Button menu in Halide, you can configure your Action button to trigger Halide features. Outside of Halide, pressing the Action button will open Halide, but in Halide, it can:


● Toggle manual or autofocus
● Cycle through your lenses
● Switch between auto and manual exposure modes
● Switch between 12 and 48MP capture modes
● Toggle RAW capture
● and even capture a photo! (though, with a delay - we suggest using the volume button instead)

We also offer a quick setup and help with configuring the Action button to just open Halide with no triggers, or a custom Halide Shortcut that opens a menu with various options like Silent mode, Flashlight, Rotation Lock, Camera Video, Camera Photo and Halide*.

This lets you set up and use the new button in ways you've never even imagined. We're really excited to see what you think and how you're going to be using it!

*please note that using other actions or shortcuts than 'Open Halide with In-App Triggers' will disable In-App Triggers.

ZERO SHUTTER LAG

When you tap capture, it will immediately capture what was in the viewfinder. Note: it cannot support the following modes:

● Flash Photos
● Manual-Exposure
● Dual-Camera Depth Photos (i.e. "Constituent Photo Delivery")
● Bracket captures (e.g. SmartRAW)

RESPONSIVE CAPTURE

When you smash that capture button, we may temporarily reduce quality to prioritize speed and ensure you don't lose any shots. You can disable this in settings.

HDR RENDERING

We now render HDR in the photo reviewer.
