I was wondering, is there any way of enhancing the "burst mode" feature of the iOS 7 camera (especially for devices below the 5s)? Any way to make it take faster pictures (more per sec) when the shutter button is held down (without sacrificing resolution)? I know there are some legitimate apps that can do this (like SnappyCam, which is capable of 20 FULL SENSOR 8Mpx pics/sec on the iPhone 5), but it would be cool to have it built into the "stock" camera app.
I don't think so. Back then in August, upon writing my Action Shooting bible, I've talked a lot to the dev of SnappyCam. He uses a custom-written, assembly-language(!) JPEG encoder; hence the huge speed compared to everything else, including Apple's own (speed-wise, inferior) encoder. That is, it's not just flipping some flags - not even Apple has a similar JPEG encoder for iOS. This also means it's fully impossible to enable this mode in the stock Camera app.
Keep up the good work and thanks again!
Thanks
