It would be pretty bad if it didn't activate immediately. This actually gives me more confidence in iOS. Any time the camera is accessed, even if for one frame, the light turns on and stays on even after you're done.
There is a consumer unfriendly ethic behind this. Overly long answers are a cunning was to increase token cost and therefore profit. Consumers are savvy and will prohibit monopoly whilst there is still plentiful competition.
Oh wow, thanks for the feedback. I am really, really grateful. Ill have an update asap.
If the shutter speed get too long, as with many "pro" apps, the refresh becomes slow. Like a mirrorless, best to keep the iso low as poss as the shutter speed to match your needs. Small sensors are not great at long exposures.
I think I may have let it enter burst mode way too quickly if the shutter zone is pressed. Ill fix that...Actually, ill implement a toggle.
Anything else in particular re the fussiness? I would love to make this as good as you expected it to have been for a paid app. Thank you.
Also, just a note, the displays reflect the adjusted parameter to get the desired exposure value in Tv(shutter speed) and Sv (ISO) modes...so one value in one of those modes will always adjust live to compensate to get the exposure. I
like app best in M mode. I basically lower the iso and adjust the shutter because I like taking pics of high contrast scenes.
Fascinated that the author shares an experience of discovery in libraries. The internet, in its early days felt like that. Of course, no longer.
Libraries are certainly declining in their traditional form. I find it odd that everyone has a digital resources in their pocket yet libraries are squeezing out physical books to make way for more and more computers. Try to find paper copy of the Sony founder's book.... that will be £50 on amazon. Prohibitive. No library within a 10 mile radius has a copy.
I remember joyfully discovering Tony Royce's book in my library a few years ago. That enlightenment will never happen now. Primary knowledge is being lost, churned crude will forever lubricate the delusions of those who have no facility to collate the basis of our understanding.

back in the reasonably early days of the web (I would guess ~2000) I stumbled across a webpage that said "I used to collect random interesting snippets in a shoebox, here is the internet version of it". I was delighted enough that I actually wrote to the author to compliment them on helping keep the web interesting, and though I haven't thought about it in ages it clearly made enough of an impression on me that I remembered the author's name. and it's still up! https://www-users.york.ac.uk/~ss44/cyc/index.htm
AIs are fantastic for discovery. Just today I asked Chatgpt to find blogs 1) about old school newspaper cartoons 2) that have been writing for more than 10 years and 3) are run by one or two passionate people rather than a team. Within seconds Chatgpt found 7 candidates. Within another handful of seconds it gave me RSS links to the ones I wanted.
Sometimes. I think this is partly because search engines are so poor nowadays. I have asked AI for certain websites that I know exist but it can't find them.
