Fourth of July Weekend "Fireworks Tips" (written ~9 PM, Friday, July 1st, 2022) ● FYI, while it may NOT be obvious to the casual observer, Photosets is very-likey the Single-Best Camera App on the planet for capturing & showcasing Fireworks. ● Very specifically, because of the app's Camera & 60-scene Video Maker ! Recommended Settings: 1.) Enable the app's concurrent Audio Capture support by setting the Mic option to the "Back" Mic (if using an Internal Mic). 2.) Set the app's "Fast Back2Back Capture" switch to ON. The original name of this switch & feature was "Fireworks Mode". 3.) Set the app's Camera to 4K, HEIC, & "60" photos/set. 4.) If possible, use a Monopod with an iPhone adapter. 5.) If possible, ONLY use the iPhone's Back "Wide" Camera. On ALL iPhones, the Back "Wide" Camera has far superior Fireworks Capturing performance than the Back "Telephoto" Camera. 7.) When you get back home, use the app's 60-scene Video Maker to craft your own Fireworks Video. And don't forget about the Video Maker's caption support. See the second table & the notes below it on our Photosets webpage.
We'll add an example of it ALL by mid-day Saturday !

● FYI, while it may NOT be obvious to the casual observer, Photosets is (now, once again) well positioned to become the planet's first-ever De Facto Burst Photo Camera App ! ● The first time was late-2016, just AFTER the iPhone 7+ was released. ● That's when Photosets first offered what we refer to as High-Performance, "High-Precision" Burst Photo Capture ! ● It's when we first perfected Photosets' unique & innovative Camera Capture Engine. ● For example, Full-Rex 12 Mpx JPEG & HEIC High-Precision Capture in the P3 D65 (aka Display P3) color space @ 3x the Perf of Apple's native Camera Burst mode feature ! ● The second time was late-November 2021, when we Fixed a Color Space-related 4K Capture Bug affecting the iPhone 12 Pro & 12 Pro Max that we were UN-aware of. ● The third time is now, with the release of v9.53, which resolves the recently-Discovered Apple Image I/O Framework JPEG ICC Color Profile Metadata issue. ● As a reminder, OR for those who are UN-aware, in mid-May of this year, Apple released changes to iOS & macOS that required us to make changes to Photosets to stay in lock-step. -----

Photosets'
"Pro Max Capture" IAP On Tier 1 iPhones & iPads, the IAP controls the app's ability to capture more than "30" photos per set. Specifically, the ability to set the "45" & "60" photos per set options in the Camera Settings dialog. As such, you'll need the IAP to make Professional-grade short-scene multi-scene Videos. i.e., where each Video Scene is 1.5 - 2.0 seconds in duration ! The important thing to know is that the IAP controls a key part of the Camera's Capture Engine. Specifically, how many Photos per Set can by Captured by the Camera, which directly correlates to Video Scene "duration". For the details, please scroll down to the relevant tables below. -----

● One of the most-important things to know about Photosets is: 1.) 4K photos are Image Stabilized, 2.) Full-Res 12 Mpx & 8 Mpx photos are NOT. ● As such, if your Objective is to (also) Make Videos
from your captured Burst Photo Sets,
you'll need to consider your options beforehand. ● Photosets' camera captures with Perfect
OR near-Perfect cycle-to-cycle Capture Timing Performance. ● Which is the Best in the Industry ! ● However, that alone isn't sufficient to guarantee High-Quality Videos
crafted from Burst Photo Sets. ● Either Image Stabilization OR a Tripod OR Monopod is also needed. -----
Burst Photo Capture ● Photosets' Most-Important Differentiated Product Attribute is its
Fine-Tuned "High-Precision" Capture Engine ! ● up-to "45" Full-Res 12 Mpx photos/set @ 30 fps ! ● up-to "60" 4K photos/set @ 30-60 fps ! ● up-to "60" 8 Mpx photos/set @ 30 fps ! ● High-Precision = Perfect OR near-Perfect cycle-to-cycle Capture Timing Performance !
