Hm. I have no idea - David might know.

I talked with David via Mail about a HDR-Mode for the Chronos, and he said that there Was one in Developement currently.
Do you know, how far developement has come upon that topic?
Is that HDR-Mode planed to be Released with the next beta or do we have to wait a bit longer for that?
Sounds good keep us up to date so I know when to testThe manual for beta 0.3 is nearing completion. There's a few data tables still missing, and we need to take updated pictures of the camera. Still, the heavy writing is done now. We'll need to actually test the camera, to make sure it does what the manual says it does, before we officially release the update though. That and a handful of bugfixes.

It works a treat, so much so that I've tethered it to the side of my Chronos so it's always to hand.
I would have zero issue with it being *in addition to* zoom in/out buttons. It's a great short cut that many people seem comfortable with or want it.That is a mighty good point, and one I hadn't thought of. Thank you for bringing it up.
(I don't really like it myself, having dealt with the frustration of old/damaged/dirty(or heavily protected) gear not registering the second finger/dropping touches/etc. Trying to hold a large/heavy device in two hands while doing multi-tap is a pain. If it's set up on a light tripod or balanced atop something to set up the shot.)
One thought: Mentioned in another thread is that someone would like the ability to use the camera with an external HDMI screen and a mouse. I can imagine this being a very useful feature(Much like being able to plug a mouse into an android smartphone and having it bring up a cursor).After I've implemented the restyled back-of-camera interface, I'll be making a dedicated app you can run on a computer or cellphone. It'll have good mouse support.
And I keep forgetting to mention it. I like the 'exposure changed' reminder. That is a nice(if unrelated) touch.Thanks!
on the exposure changed thought, when is the black calibration going to be faster like it says in future versions of firmware, is this being worked on for next version?Right now, we've got it down to 4 seconds for max resolution, and more or less instantaneous at low resolutions.
Tap to zoom would be perfectly fine for quick double-check-focus actions. But then again, that's assuming that one's focus point is in the center of the frame. If not, one would need to tap to zoom, then drag to recenter on the focus point. So maybe pinch-zoom-pan is the only universally usable option.We'd probably want to make it zoom in on wherever you tapped.
I like simplicity of code, but now I'm torn.
One way around pinch to zoom, assuming there is room to add them, would be a 'zoom in/out' button pair then 'drag' to pan around would work.Agreed.
Maybe, depending on what others think, you can have 'focus aids' and that would invert/depress the button and replace recording settings/play+save with 'zoom in/out' 'zebra toggle' 'focus aid level' etc. and show that your in a different viewing mode? Would adding this extra step get in the way of other's workflow?I think it would be OK. Especially with a predictable opening position, sub-menus are quite quick once you are familiar with them.
But here's a wrench in the works: When changing any of parameters, there'll be a disconnect between what's "selected" as a preset, and what's shown below.That's a good idea. In the current iteration, the dropdown just stays the same. I should probably change it say "custom" or something when a value is changed.
When one alters any of the values, should the presets dropdown "gray out" or otherwise indicate that "what's in this box is no longer accurate, please refer to the individual boxes below"?
these look good but add save as preset button!
