there is always something intriguing cooking in Cupertino, California — even if Apple's ovens are full, and the last item in the list is a new camera flash a day on an iPhone. When the camera flash units are typically fixed in a single spot on a device, Apple is trying to make a Flash redirector that could whip around, letting you frame a dimly-lit patent image the way you want to use, and automatically the strength and direction of the Flash to get better results. The patent application suggests that devices a special lens for the Flash, and then a PivotTable exists on that lens or the Flash to target, plus a "researcher" would have these figures, which needs to be enlightened and by the way a lot. As an alternative, Apple do you may need only a region on a touchscreen camera device (wonder where we would find one of those?) select with your finger and aim at defining the Flash itself, but if we take no about Apple's love for the simplicity they will know the AI solution first try. Anyway, it seems like an excellent night which are equivalent to the IOS 4 HDR and something that we would like to see in a variety of shooters, not only on phones.
