Camera+ 1.2 ($1.99) isn’t out yet, but tap tap tap have released a teaser of two seriously kickass new features. The first one is the mapping of the volume buttons to the camera shutter, which is a first for App Store apps, as far as I know. This turns out to have been a total mistake on my part: there is no volume-rocker based shutter button in 1.2.
The second and more ambiguous is the multi-touch enabled exposure and focus controls. In the trailer you can see photographer Lisa Bettany dragging one fingers across the screen to adjust exposure on-the-fly. She then taps on-screen with a second finger in a gesture which many commenters on the tap tap tap blog believe to be a separate auto-focus control.
If that’s true, then the iPhone is going to become a lot more interesting to use for everyday picture taking. I just hope that these features are accessible on the 3GS…
