SolarSpark Productions has released Professional Camera 1.0 for iPhone and iPod touch, a photography app that lets users access all the raw and low-level features of the iPhone / iPod touch fourth-generation camera hardware.

“SolarSpark Production creates apps ranging from agility games to educational games, and from everyday utility apps to apps for preparing yourself getting married,” the company says.

Designed specifically for Apple’s latest iDevices, Professional Camera has the ability to separate point of focus and point of exposure, allows users to tweak video recording options for Low / Mid / High / 480p / 720p quality, and offers functions like white balance adjustment, and Torch Mode (to record videos in dark environments).

Crystal Zoom, apparently the flagship feature of SolarSpark’s Professional Camera, allegedly provides advanced image post-processing which delivers even the best picture even at 7x zoom.

This is not only enabled by the Crystal Zoom digital image processing technology, but also by the advanced iPhone 4 / iPod touch 4 camera lens, hence the app requires a new-generation device.

Combined, the two provide crisp and clear images even when zoomed right in on an object, according to the developer.

The app boasts a very intuitive interface. Great results can be achieved with minimal effort, according to SolarSpark. The built-in tools include:

· Ability to separate Point of Focus and Point of Exposure · White Balance Adjustment · Crystal Zoom (C) Advanced Image Post-Processing delivers you the best picture even at 7.0x Zoom · Video recording in the Low / Mid / High / 480p / 720 p quality · Displays Power and Peak volume levels in video recording mode · Torch Mode to let you record videos even in the darkest environments. · Auto or Manual Mirror Modes · Manually flip or rotate orientation of snaps and recordings · Professional LCD Interface · Single Tap to select Point of Focus · Double Tap to select Point of Exposure · Triple Tap to use Auto Focus and Exposure · Choose one of Low, Med, High, 480p or 720p presets to enable video recording

Compatible with iPhone and iPod touch fourth-generation, Professional Camera requires iOS 4.0 or later and weighs in at 0.8 MB.
