Fjorden Camera Hack 1.9.0 + Redeem Codes

NEW

++ Live activity ++

To make it even easier to launch Fjorden, we added a live activity on your lock screen. The lock screen widgets can still be a bit hard to reach, esp. with one hand. The live activity starts when you open Fjorden and have your grip connected (sadly, we cannot start the LA from the background, you have to open the app first)

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS

— We now reset any focus- and exposure points when you switch lenses, or you haven't used Fjorden in a while
— We think we have fixed a crash while connecting the grip during launch. Please let us know if you are experiencing any issues with the Bluetooth connection

— Fixed frozen view finder when recording video and focus peaking was active
— Fixed selected lens on 14 Pro / Pro Max when switching from 3.0× to 2.0×

— Dismiss modal views (gallery, settings and onboarding) with shutter button
— Fix volume button shutter
— Fix available file formats if focus control point is hidden from toolbar
— Fix keeping selected combined file format on lens switch when switching between 48 MP and 12 MP
— Improve layout for close button in meta data view in gallery details

++ Video Recording ++

One of our most requested features is here—you can now record video in Fjorden

For now, we support 720p/1080p/4K at 30 frames per second. We plan to support higher frame rates in the future. You can find video recording in the mode menu, next to the shutter button.

++ Video Support in Gallery ++

Of course, you now also watch recorded videos in the gallery.

++ The Rest ++

— Fix front camera mirroring
— Fix selected lens when zooming in auto mode
— Fix a bug that may prevent selecting another parameter while a slider is open
— Retain EV when switching lenses
— Fix lens reverting back to 1.0× when digital zoom in manual mode is disabled

NEW

++ Histogram ++

Two different styles, one for luminance, one per RGB channel. Read the note
below about customizable controls to learn how to activate the histogram.

++ Customizable Controls ++

To be able to add our histogram, we needed a way to customize the existing UI.
This is not (yet) the full fledged version we teased in our Kickstarter
campaign but it gets the job done. You can access this feature through
Settings - Customize Tools, or by long-pressing on any of the tools in the
middle row (timer, grid, focus control, flash, file format). Only five or less
tools can be activate at the same time.


THE REST

— Date header in gallery now correctly updates when scrolling
— New in-app help section
— You can open the onboarding guide again
— You can also open this whats new screen again

— Fix rare crash on launch
— Fix frozen view finder when focus control mode is face tracking
— Fix border around view finder when focus peaking is active
— Show actual white balance in manual mode instead of “Auto”
— Fix crash when switching between 2× and 3× with the zoom lever

⏵ PORTRAIT MODE
One of the most requested features since we launched last year. For now, we only support human faces, but we are working to support any kind of subject for a later update. You can adjust the simulated amount of blur live in the view finder, either via the UI or via the Fjorden grip.

⏵ NEW SMART PROCESSING SETTING
We added a setting to adjust the amount of processing that is happening when you take a photo. This affects only Manual mode, in Auto mode the camera pipeline will always use the highest amount of processing, which matches the built-in camera.

▶ Better capture & preview workflow:
Tapping the photo preview will open the photo directly, you can then swipe down to go back to the camera. You can also press the shutter button to close the photo preview.

▶ New firmware 2.4.2 for the grip:
It restores the ability to trigger the shutter in the native Camera.app on iOS 16. If you are running iOS 16, please upgrade the grip. We also made the reading of the battery level more reliable, so it shouldn't fluctuate as much as it did before.

▶ Darkroom integration:
If you have Darkroom installed, a new button is available when looking at a photo to directly open this photo in Darkroom. On their side, integration to go back to Fjorden will come soon as well.

▶ Other fixes & improvements:
— New icons in the gallery & photo viewer to better match our style
— Missing ProRAW / RAW option when your preferred format was RAW
— Add the ability to long press a photo in the grid
— Launch straight to camera when launching from widget, dismissing any open views, like gallery or settings

++ IMPROVED ++
Tapping the little recent capture preview in the bottom left now opens the photo details directly. If the system haven’t finished saving your photo — esp. 48 MP ProRAW photos can take a while — a new animation is shown indicating the operation is still in progress.

— When a timer is active, the remaining seconds wouldn’t be shown

— Fix crash on launch on iPhone Xʀ
— Add file size information in photo details
— Fix a rare crash when camera access was denied
— Fix image sharing from gallery

Our first new major update since our launch a little over a month ago is here, and it is packed with new features & bug fixes. The main theme of this release is the addition of a new mode.

++ New

— Auto mode that selects the appropriate lens automatically (similar to the built-in camera). This enables instant lens switching and super smooth zoom, either via the slider (tap the current lens) or a pinch gesture.
— Auto mode imposes some limitation on what controls are possible though. So if you want to manually control white balance, ISO, focus or shutter speed, you need to switch into Manual mode by tapping the A button in the middle of the second row. To go back into auto mode, tap it again. We also added a setting to control in which mode Fjorden starts.
— This also lays the groundwork for portrait mode which will come in the next release
— Simulate shutter half press: The app can now simulate a shutter half press, similar to what will be possible with the Fjorden grip. This behavior is optional, and can be enabled in settings. Upon half-press, focus, expose, and white balance will be locked, which makes it easy to re-frame your shot. In addition, there is a setting to hide the focus peaking overlays to make it easier to see the final image.

++ Improvements

— When a setting changes or a certain feature is not available in the current mode, you will see a little notification in the viewfinder
— If the focus- and the exposure indicator on the same point, you can now reset both with a single long press gesture, instead of having to long press each one individually
— Color scheme in settings matches the rest of the app

++ Bug Fixes

— Fix initial selected lens to be 1.0 again, not 3.0 on certain devices
— Fix crash when capturing photos in RAW in certain conditions
— Fix crash when leaving Fjorden and audio was playing in the background
— We won’t ask for reviews in TestFlight builds anymore, as this isn’t supported and shouldn’t happen in the first place
— Fix RAW file type overlay in gallery
— Better handle limited photo permissions in gallery
— Fix embedded location in EXIF info
— Fix erratic location toggle in settings
— Fix disappearing file format overlay in gallery
— Improve white balance preset icons
— Improve animation when expanding timer, grid, mode, flash, and file format options
— Improve white balance preset icons

+ Improve initial load time for the gallery
We are still working on more improvements here, but please let us know if the new version already improved opening the gallery for you (include the rough number of photos you have)

+ Persist focus peaking setting
If you have focus peaking enabled, it will automatically be re-enabled when you launch the app again

+ Show all file types & names for photos captured in multiple formats
We used to only show the file format & -name of the primary photo, now you can also see the alternate info if you took a photo in either combined format.


+ Fix a crash when switching lenses while either the ISO or shutter speed slider are open
+ Fix an issue when rotating photos in the gallery
