Withan™ Camera Driver V3
Rev.1
- Added another indoor mode. Now there’s 2 indoor special modes implemented in property 14, applied only when flash setted to OFF. It’s a real-time switching (like colour/contrast settings for flash).
- Reduced RER flash pics colour from 04 to 03.
Rev.0
- Changed colour values (default is 09, flash is 03)
- Removed all whitebalance auto-settings
- Twilight landscape scene with more colour (07) and sharpness (04). Also with 2 sec exposure.
- Reduced viewfinder fps to 12 for better focusing and less noise keeping quick auto-focus.
- Video is 12 fps -> no BestPic bug
- Default JPEG settings (90%) -> no more crashes, invisible to human eye
- Improved contrast settings in flash pics to make noise less visible
Withan™ Camera Driver S3
- S3 is a variant of Withan™ V3 with no colour gain implemented
Old Ultimate releases: Here
v2.62
- Changed Indoor special mode.
- Reduced Twilight landscape ISO to 160.
v2.6
- Added two new modes and reorganized some for easier use. Read ‘Special modes’ info.
v2.5
- New Daylight flash special mode. It has very high flash shutter speed.
- The 2 seconds slow sync mode has ISO 100 now.
- Removed contrast increase only in Auto flash special mode.
- Twilight landscape colour is reduced a little bit more.
v2.46
- Auto mode + Red Eye Reduction flash is now the real Party mode with 1/30s exposure. When flash is setted to Auto, it is 1/250s for daylight flash pics (FF).
- Reduced colour in Twilight landscape mode to get less noisy pics at some situations like sunshine or sunrise.
v2.44
- Auto mode + macro setted has xenon ISO 100 (thanks to Raiderski for the idea)
- Portrait has tungsten WB by default like Twilight portrait (but only applied when flash needed, on both). This is to reduce the yellow/red background introduced by long exposure in slow sync pics
v2.41
- Standard and Withan versions have colour 01 in flash pics to compensate contrast 01 setting (VividColour remains the same)
- In Twilight landscape mode, sharpness is reduced to 02
v2.39
- Fixed indoor special mode (now really 6 fps, before was 5)
- Flash RER not forced
- In all pics with flash contrast is increased 01
- Doc mode has sharpness 08
v2.35
- Added indoor special mode to Portrait scene (6 fps shutter). Now we have a mode for less noisy indoor pics without flash, but with slower AF of course (with the help from Raiderski, thanks)
v2.3
- Fixed compression, it will not crash anymore (I expect…)
- Auto mode flash pics have 1/80s exposure, so it still can be used for using flash at indoor/daylight to reduce noise. If 1/80 is too dark for you at night just use 1/2s slow sync mode and pic will be ok…
v2.2
- Added full range auto focus (from macro to infinite) to Portrait, Twilight portrait, Sports, and Beach/Snow scenes.
*What does it mean? It’s not necessary to be in macro or document mode, simply focus the near object you want and voilà. The same for infinite objects.
v2.18
- Added another slow sync mode. Resume:
1) Twilight portrait scene: Slow sync flash with 1/2s exposure, xenon ISO 250 (this mode reduces noise drastically)
2) Portrait scene: Slow sync flash with 2s exposure, xenon ISO 125
3) Use Auto mode for common flash pics (1/30s)
*Tip: Slow flash sync mode is very useful for:
i) Making beautiful pics in movement using this technique
ii) Amplify a lot the background light on static flash pics
v2.16
- Twilight portrait mode has Slow Flash Sync: 1/2s exposure time and xenon ISO 250
- All other flash pics have 1/30s exposure time and xenon ISO 320
v2.11
- Fixed the “Document mode first pic with bad ISO” bug (forced flash implemented in another way)
- Added another flavour of the Ultimate Driver: Withan™ (“Where is tha’ noise?”). In Withan™ colour is increased only on pics without flash. Also has 00 (Auto) mode in Twilight portrait, instead of 03 (Party).
v2.1
- Redone JPEG compression with better ratios 4all resolutions
- Reduced exposure and contrast in DOC mode for better pics at nearer distance
- Twilight portrait and Twilight landscape have tungsten (incandescent) white balance by default (red filter), but anyway it can be changed through WB menu
- VividColour™ version has really insane colour now (0b)
v2.0
- Unique Super Twilight landscape mode (1 second max exposure, ISO 200)
- Reduced sharpness slightly (06)
- 1/200 Flash shutter speed, 1/30 in Twilight portrait
v1.14

- Now 1.5 fps shutter in Twilight landscape (more light)
- Revised and fixed code
v1.1
- Flash ISO 320 in Auto mode
- Added AF led in Document mode
- VividColour™ version now with a little more colour (02), but noticeable!
v1.0

- Forced flash in Auto mode (reduces noise in some situations)
- Custom flash settings
- “100%” JPEG compression fix
- 18 fps video recording without bugs (you can use Zoom and BestPic)
