Good bye “It was Now!”.

This is a camera application which changes “it was now” into a good opportunity.
This app can perform continuous shooting of a total of nine sheets, i.e. four sheets before pushing a shutter, one sheet right after pushing a shutter and four sheets after pushing a shutter, in order not to miss that moment.
Because “flip photo” of animation GIF can be made with burst shots, no photos become useless and it can leave the image at the time of continuous shooting was performed as it is.
A shutter sound can be made silent in order to take the photo of a photographic subject’s natural expression.
Moreover, it is possible to record three sounds which could pull a photographic subject’s mind and you can use not only the recorded sound but also the sounds such as a bark of an elephant, a cat, a dog and so on as a shutter sound and notice sound in order to take a camera-conscious shot of a photographic subject.
It is possible to configure each mode whether a photo includes the position information or not.
When you take a photo at your house, because you can take the photo not including position information and also check the existence of the information of the photo before sharing it by e-mail or SNS, it could prevent it from being used for a stalker crime.
Because this application is optimized for iPhone5, using from the model after iPhone5 is desirable.
Please keep in mind that performance of some functions in iPhone4 and iPhone4s may not be sufficient.

The reason why I made Fine Camera.
It’s been more than a year since I started my blog named “Dog Photo Albums”.
Actually, I have a miniature dachshund whose name is Kojiro.

When we went for a walk and met a dog, I asked dog’s guardian to take some photos of the dog and open those photos in my blog.
But, I always felt it was very difficult to take a natural and camera-conscious photo of a dog.
I also understood many of guardians had similar thoughts of mine.
Then, I looked into the reason and became to realize that
1) Dogs hate the mechanical sounds like a shutter sound.
2) Dogs often do unpredictable action.
3) Dogs don’t pay attention to a camera in the first place.

Though I was allowed to take photos by guardians, I couldn’t take natural and camera-conscious photo of dogs.
So, I regretted it and I became to think I wanted to make a camera application software which would solve those problems.

Because dogs hate the mechanical sounds like a shutter sound, Fine Camera
1) makes it possible to take a photo without any shutter sound.
2) makes it possible to change a shutter sound from the mechanical sound to sounds that dogs like. That is
2-1) making it possible to use animal calls as a shutter sound.
2-2) enabling to record sounds that dogs prefer and making it possible to use those sounds as a shutter sound.

And next, in order to handle dogs’ unpredictable action, Fine Camera
1) makes it possible to take burst shots before pressing the shutter button,
2) and makes it possible to take burst shots after pressing the shutter button.

Furthermore, in order to have dogs turn their attention to a camera, Fine Camera makes it possible to use “Notice Sound”. That is
1) making it possible to use animal calls as a notice sound.
2) enabling to record sounds that dogs prefer and making it possible to use those sounds as a notice sound.

However, the original reasons are not only for dogs but also for other pets and kid.
So, if you use Fine Camera, I think you could take natural and camera-conscious photos of them.
Please try and enjoy!
