It’s been a while since we wrote about KitCam. Since our first glowing review, this great all-in-one camera app has gotten several updates and its already great toolset has grown.
KitCam just got another update today. It now features the same low-light mode found on many other high-end camera apps. The base model is also on sale now for only $0.99 for a limited time. Keep reading for more info on this update and an App Store link.
The new Night Snap for KitCam mode is similar to the long exposure modes found in 645PRO, PureShot, NightCap and other camera apps equipped with long exposure. This opens up some great low-light photography to older devices. Basically, what it does is keeps the app in low-ISO mode and lets you force the shutter to stay open longer. A longer exposure means you need to keep your iPhone completely steady, but combined with the low-ISO speeds, it yields much clearer and brighter low light images with less noise, even on devices with Apple’s High ISO mode like the iPhone 5. Check out the sample shots below for comparison.

How the scene really looked
Other new features in this update include Front-facing Flash to help improve monkey-paw selfies, 10 New geometric shape frames, Uncompressed TIFF support, and extended time lapse parameters. You can now adjust the compression of JPG saves for swapping file size with image quality. And the histogram now shows the current exposure time (shutter speed) and ISO.
It’s a good update that adds a lot of power features to this already well-equipped all-in-one. These features definitely leapfrog KitCam over Camera+ as far as power and versatility.
