UWACAM Version History

• Pro underwater photo/video with UWACOLOR, manual controls, and Vizalyzer AI (subscription required). Free captures have permanent watermarks; subscription removes them for future captures only. If you have any issues, feedback or questions contact us right away by e-mail: support@uwacam.com - we are happy to help!

• Added a UWACAM Widget to make it easier to add UWACAM to the lock screen.
• The "small" thumbnail size for RAW format photos has been increased for a better experience in the Photos app.
• Bug fixes and improvements.

• An additional welcome / info screen was added for first-time users.
• In Pro mode, 50 FPS can now be selected as video frame rate.
• The text of the watermark shown in the preview when no subscription is active has been updated.
• Bug fixes and improvements.

• New: Upside down orientation is now supported in PRO mode. This allows you to use UWACAM in upside down orientation if you prefer, which places the cameras closer to the ground. Upside down orientation has to be enabled specifically in Settings > Camera (Red) > Display > User Interface > Controls (portrait) > Upside down. Note that some alerts and iOS screens will not adapt to upside down mode and will be presented in the normal portrait orientation.
• New: News list view contains a button to filter the display so only unread items are shown
• New: Rotation lock is now persistent, when locked the last orientation will be restored when UWACAM is restarted
• Improved: In News detail view, the icon on the read/unread button has been swapped to make it clearer which state is currently selected. Also, if the News item shown in detail view is unread the same blue dot as in the news list will be shown
• Improved: News list and detail view now both offer online help
• Improved: When you select a control from Quick Access in PRO Video mode that is not available in Photo mode (e.g. FPS), the control will be disabled in Photo mode and now automatically reselected when you return to Video mode
• iOS Improved: Compatibility with iCloud sync and the "Optimize iPhone Storage" setting has been further improved, particularly for devices which have low free storage which may lead to captures being offloaded to iCloud by iOS. UWACAM now recognizes most such situations and will inform you for example if you try to perform UWACOLOR processing on a capture which has been offloaded and cannot be loaded from iCloud because of connectivity issues.
• Improved: The titles and content in the help tab (purple) in settings have been updated to make the information more helpful and easier to understand
• Improved: In AUTO photo mode the selected video FPS value is now also displayed in the info bar
• Bug fixes and improvements

• New: UWACOLOR processing level can now be adjusted for real-time processing or postprocessing by long-pressing the UWACOLOR button. This allows you to switch between three different processing levels if the current level does not yield the desired results. Be aware that UWACOLOR real-time processing is permanently applied to any captured video. For full flexibility, you can also postprocess the video later with different processing levels. The UWACOLOR button in preview and playback shows which level is currently selected. Android UWACOLOR is only available in postprocessing.
• New: Photo Flash / Video Torch are now supported with new buttons in quick access. In AUTO mode a simple on/off switch is provided in the quick access menu. Be aware that both Flash and Torch may reflect on the front glass of the housing, so use with care.
• New: Rotation Lock control in PRO mode locks the current user interface orientation while using UWACAM. Rotation lock only applies to UWACAM and is automatically released when UWACAM is restarted.
• New: Quick Access in PRO mode now supports multiple pages of controls if required. If you have many controls in Quick Access, you can use the right arrow button to switch to the next page of controls.
• Changed: UWACOLOR long-press in preview opens a new menu with processing level options. In PRO mode, you can also select MANUAL mode in that menu (which was previously available via long press).
• Improved: Info Bar layout in PRO mode has been slightly optimized for better usability.
• iOS Improved: It is now more clearly indicated in the Info Bar if ProRAW Max photo format is not available, e.g. because camera blending is switched on or because the selected camera does not support ProRAW Max.
• Improved: In location settings, the colors for the off/auto/manual modes have been swapped to make it clearer which mode is currently selected.
• Improved: There is now an option in settings to re-enable all alert messages where you selected "Don't show again".
• Improved: the layout of the help screen has been improved for better readability
• Moved: in PRO settings the "Photo stops video" option has been moved to "Camera > Photo Setup > Advanced"
• Moved: in AUTO settings the "Share crop mode" option has been moved to "Gear > Controls"

• New: Option for adding satellite-derived or manually entered location information (GPS coordinates) to captures. When underwater, the last known location is used. When internet connectivity is available a map can be viewed with the current location, and can be used to set the manual location. Pasting coordinates from other apps is also supported. A location icon is included in the info bar to reflect the current status of the location functionality.
• New: Added a new quick access button in PRO mode to toggle Camera Blending on and off.Android Availability of this feature may vary depending on device capabilities.
• New: Added a setting in PRO mode to optionally hide disabled quick access buttons to reduce clutter.
• Changed: Renamed the "WB" quick access button in PRO mode to "Grey Card" to better reflect its function, which is measuring white balance based on a grey card held in front of the camera. Android This feature is currently unavailable.
• Changed: To make sure you don't run into a tight situation we've made the minimum free space requirements a little more conservative.

• New: Self timer for photos with two different durations and flashing countdown light is now available in quick access. This lets you set a timer so you can easily turn your rig around and position yourself for a selfie shot. In PRO mode the timer can be configured in detail in settings, including picture count and interval.
• New: Batch UWACOLOR processing is now available in postprocessing. Switch to list mode, then selection mode to select multiple captures and process them all at once
• iOS New: UWACOLOR processing is now supported for captures in Apple Log color space in postprocessing, and in real-time for frame rates up to 30 fps
• iOS Improved: UWACOLOR button control for AUTO mode has been moved to the preview screen for easy access and clear display of the current UWACOLOR mode
• Improved: In quick access (PRO mode), long-pressing a locked value such as white balance will directly unlock it without having to select the control and return to preview first
