With Halide, shooting with XS MAX is great except one problem I enjoy shooting with my iPhone XS MAX in RAW. I took so many stunning photos with the app while I’m in Hawaii. Especially taking vertical in finder is much easier and manual focus enables me to replicate what I see. I just want one more feature. That is the shutter noise reduction or mute. This problem is only applicable to hardware sold in Japan, I guess. iPhone sold here come with mandatory shutter sound, which means it will make a sound even on manner mode. This felt very annoying since camera is great on XS MAX and this app enables me to use the device as on the go camera while on travel. For annoyed iPhone users out there, there’re lots of camera app which reduce shutter noise. But most of those app is terrible as camera app. So I want this desires feature to the beat camera app on iOS so that halide will be best choice for mobile photographers . Sorry for the long review. I hope I could hear from developers of the app.
It is a good apps but I found something that makes me uneasy. I like to take a picture of bugs and it requires silent camera. Since I bought my phone in Japan, I need to do a trick to make my camera silent by playing some musics then mute it in apple stock camera. This apps is really different, although my music has been muted, whenever I open this app the sound will suddenly appears out of nowhere (although the volume in 0% and in silent mode). Can you please fix this bug? at least make it just work fine as stock camera.
