Original release notes
• Mark the frames that matter in a video, then save them as full-resolution stills or one labelled contact sheet. • Blackout Glance: while recording with the screen off, a tap shows the take's time, storage left and battery in dim red. • Faster photos: take the next shot while the last one is still processing. Every photo still gets full-quality processing. • Smoother switching: flipping cameras, changing lenses and moving between Photo and Video no longer flash black or jump. • See the whole photo you will save, with full-image, 4:3, 1:1 and 16:9 framing options. • Export a selected video frame to Files as a full-resolution SDR PNG. • Keep the torch and its indicator in sync when changing lenses. • The recording timer sits above zoom, keeping zoom and Screen Off controls in place. • Best Value appears only on the yearly plan, with savings compared with monthly payments.
