Lightmeter 1.2.0 is the biggest update since launch. The LM-35 AF A disposable camera, as a third mode beside the meter and the film camera. Load a roll of 12, 24 or 36 frames and shoot it blind: no preview, no thumbnails, a fixed 35mm lens and a frame counter under a red index. When the roll is done, it goes to the lab. An hour later the prints land in Photos, each with its own small accidents: an exposure wobble, flash falloff, soft corners, the odd light leak and, if you want it, the orange date stamp. The body comes in black or yellow. A Lock Screen countdown, a lab widget and a notification say when a roll is back. Every look, rebuilt Every film look now prints through a new engine developed out of a neutral RAW negative, the way a lab prints a scan. Each look keeps its character, with cleaner color and highlights that roll off like film. Grain and halation are now sized to the frame. Faster at the shutter A tap made while a frame is still exposing is held and taken, not dropped. RAW now works at every focal length and on the front camera. Plus members can capture at 24 MP on supported iPhones. Fixes Opening a photo from the gallery no longer freezes on iOS 18. If a RAW frame can't be developed, its negative is still saved to Photos. The gallery splits into All Photos and LM-35 Labs. A few retired beta looks now open as their nearest successor, so older frames still restyle.

Lightmeter now lives on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. • Camera widget: your latest frame, right on your Home Screen. Tap it to go straight to the meter. (Lightmeter Plus) • Shutter widget: one tap from your Home Screen to the camera. (Lightmeter Plus) • Lock Screen widgets, redrawn: a new rectangular widget with your loaded film, a shutter-capsule circle, and a new camera circle whose viewfinder carries your latest frame for Plus members. The Control Center button has a new glyph too. • A new shot now prints into the corner thumbnail like an instant photo. • The viewfinder level gives a small haptic tap when the lines snap level. • A new app icon picker, with a live preview that tilts in your hand. • Film looks: fixed shadows crushing in some looks, and retuned two of our own stocks. • A redesigned Plus sheet. If you're already a member, tap the card at the top of Settings to see everything your Plus includes. Thank you for shooting with Lightmeter.

Lightmeter is new here, and this is its first update. Thank you for being one of the early ones. The darkroom holds on to your work better now — a crop survives a restyle, a film chosen by hand stays chosen while an iCloud original loads, and a save keeps exactly what was on screen the moment Done was tapped. Settings are simpler, and the Plus sheet reads cleaner: monthly, yearly, lifetime, with the price stated once. More film looks and a few new features are on the way. Thank you for shooting with Lightmeter — it means a lot this early on.
