Yes sure. It helps with all external lenses and to have a stable working macro mode.What do you suggest for den 12 pro max?Or do you have more general suggestions?I am working on a larger update right now. So it would nice to hear, what's missing or where potential problems are.Thank you for you comment
- Tidier borders — switch off an outer frame and the frames nested inside it clear with it.
- Richer, truer colors — photos now save in the wider Display P3 color space, so colors look fuller and match what you see through the lens.
- Cleaner controls — when several dials are open at once, they sit together in one smooth panel instead of separate strips.
- A more beautiful glow — highlights bloom in the right color (neutral on black & white, warm on warm looks), so your photos shine naturally on the HDR display.
