Today’s update to Camo Studio fixes a minor issue with the zoom and pan controls. If you run into any problems, please reach out to us at support@reincubate.com. We'd love to help and hear from you.

We're excited to be launching Camo 1.8 today which brings support for 60 fps video and adjustable frame rate controls, along with "Smart Zoom", video stabilisation, improved colour and brightness adjustments, and high GPU priority mode to boost Camo Studio’s performance when gaming or streaming.

If you run into any problems, please reach out to us at support@reincubate.com. We'd love to help and hear from you.

• Feature Frame-rate controls have long been one of our most popular feature requests, and now they’re here! Camo now lets users choose from a range of frame-rates between 15 and 60 fps, making it easy for streamers to match their camera frame rate with the stream.
• Feature We've added Smart Zoom, which lets you take advantage of your iPhone's 4K sensors regardless of which resolution you're using. Camo now avoids using digital zoom wherever possible, and instead rely on a higher resolution source image from the camera’s sensor, mimicking lossless optical zoom. Smart Zoom can be enabled in Camo Studio’s Advanced menu.
• Feature Virtual rotation gives you the ability to choose between landscape and portrait video without having to physically rotate your phone. This makes use of the "Smart Zoom" feature to ensure the video is perfectly crisp.
• Feature We’ve added the option to run Camo Studio with high GPU priority, this will significantly improve Camo’s performance when doing graphically intensive tasks on your PC, such as gaming and streaming. To use this new feature select "Enable High GPU Priority” from the Advanced menu.
• Feature Camo's new image stabilisation functionality minimises the effect of vibrations and other disturbances on the image, great for desk mounted devices, wobbly mounts, or heavy-handed typists.
• Feature We've added a vibrancy control, which gives you a way to boost or dampen duller colours in a way that’s less heavy-handed and artificial than using the saturation control.
• Feature We've added the ability to export Camo Studio's logs, using the "Export logs" option in the "Advanced" menu.
• Feature We've made a change to how Camo Studio's video preview is handled, which will lead to performance improvements when using Camo Studio with hardware acceleration turned off.
• Improvement The brightness control has now been completely re-worked to give you finer grained control and make you look less washed out when increasing brightness.
