Press Release

Automatic lightning capture with the fastest camera app on the market

Independent developer Florian Stiassny has announced iLightningCam 4.00, a new version of his real-time lightning photography app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. On sale now, iLightningCam enables everyone to take spectacular real lightning pictures with full photo resolution. Version 4.0 introduces 4th Gen support for iPod touch, support for iPad 2 and 3, improved night mode,  optimized exposure for night lightning storms, minor bug fixes and improved instructions.

Vienna, Austria - Special offer: reduced price for 2 days! In life before iLightningCam, a lighting strike was hard to capture with professional equipment and almost impossible with a mobile cell phone camera. As opposed to a DSLR, this app works free hand. Just point your iPhone towards the scene/part of the sky/thunderstorm where you expect the next lightning, start iLightningCam and wait. The app will automatically press the shutter if a lightning is detected in your view. In addition, it offers the first ever ISO control for iPhone/iPod touch/iPad, which is the only way to capture lightning during night without overexposure. It offers full photo resolution without interpolation.
