RAW Format

On devices that support ProRAW, you can choose weather you want Fjorden Camera to save your RAW photos in ProRAW or regular RAW format. 

ProRaw is recommended, as it retains a higher dynamic range and provides the highest image quality. 

Borth ProRAW and RAW capture DNG files. 

Default Mode

Enable Half-Press

When enabled tapping and holding the Shutter Button will lock focus and exposure. The photo will be captured when you release the Shutter Button. This makes the digital Shutter Button work more like the two-stage shutter button on the Fjorden Grip or a DSLR.

While Half-Press is enabled, you can also set Focus Peaking to temporary turn off while you hold the Shutter Button. This can be useful for getting a clear view of your shot for final framing adjustments before capturing a photo. 

Hide Focus Peaking

If Focus Peaking is turned ON from the Focus Controls, This feature can be active only when “Enable Half-Press” is also active. When turned ON, Focus Peaking highlights will be hidden while holding your finger on the Shutter Button.
