CAPTOR (iOS) 5.0.7 Upgraded Camera Options

Josh Bohls

Hello and thank you for reading our Secure Content Capture blog and staying up to date with CAPTOR app releases. This month we are releasing CAPTOR (iOS) v5.0.7 which includes some more upgrades and options for the CAPTOR camera.

The most noticeable change is the new button in the camera mode settings. Open CAPTOR and go to the Photo tab. Tap the mode settings button in the bottom right corner. The new button is labeled either HIGH or LOW, denoting the quality the photo will be captured in.

The value shown (either LOW or HIGH) indicates the pixel resolution that the image will be captured in. LOW will essentially produce HD (High Definition) photos in around 1080p resolution. HIGH will produce UHD (Ultra High Definition) photos that are roughly in 4K. The actual resolution varies by device, and is not exact due to the camera cropping the preview.

This setting will also impact the camera performance. If the user’s goal is to take a lot of photos quickly, we recommend LOW since the camera is able to process the images quicker. At LOW, you could capture as many as 8 photos per second.

If the goal is to capture high resolution photos, HIGH is the better choice. HIGH will allow you to capture up to 4 photos per second, but the resolution will be roughly three times as high.

Let’s look at an example to illustrate the difference in photo quality.

These two photos were captured by CAPTOR. The photo on the left was captured in LOW, while the one on the right was captured in HIGH.

Some stats on the two photos above:

LOW (Left photo) is 2.5 MB with resolution of 1120x1557.

HIGH (Right photo) is 8.3 MB with resolution of 1984x2762.

When you start to zoom in you will begin to see the differences between the two photos.

You can see the LOW (Left) photo becomes pixelated while the HIGH (Right) photo maintains smoother lines.

These options come down to the use case. Now with CAPTOR you can easily switch between photo capture quality modes, just like you have been able to with video capture, and get the photo right every time.

We hope this new option allows your CAPTOR users the flexibility to perform their job more productively, and securely capture content exactly suiting the needs of your business. If you have questions please contact us today.
