Compared to the default iPhone camera, third party apps exist that provide more control (manual focus, shutter speed, white balance, etc.). I miss my broken SLR, and I’m thinking about purchasing one of these as a cheap alternative way to regain a bit of control. Camera+ 2 and ProCam 8 are two apps that I’m considering, though there are others. I’d like to choose one that has the smoothest possible interface with iNaturalist.
I’m getting the impression that it is not possible to set iNaturalist on the iPhone to directly use a 3rd party camera app (from the following:
https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/no-way-to-switch-between-the-phones-cameras-in-the-app/21550).
I’m curious whether these 3rd party camera apps store photos in a way that the “Camera roll” option can easily and directly access the pics? I get the impression that Camera+ 2 doesn’t immediately store photos in the iPhone Photos library, for example, but it is hard to confirm before buying the app.
I’d appreciate any thoughts from those with first-hand experience with these or similar apps, especially regarding the ease of getting photos into iNaturalist. Thanks!
