The New iPhone 4S Camera - So Lightning Fast, You Can Capture Lightning

Vienna, Austria - Apple(R) claims that the recently announced iPhone(R) 4S features an new camera with zero shutter lag and  blazing fast processor performance. A medical student from Vienna, Austria, proves these features to be literally true. Florian Stiassny is pleased to announce 'LightningCam', the small photo app that allows capturing a lightning strike in real time with full resolution of 8 Megapixel.

In life before the new iPhone, lightings were hard to capture with professional equipment and almost impossible with a mobile cell phone camera. This app now enables everyone to take free hand breathtaking shots of lightning strikes using a new iPhone; no additional equipment like tripods or sensors are needed. LightningCam 1.1 features:

* HD Video Mode

LightningCam analyzes the HD video output (Resolution 720P) for the event of a lightning strike and captures the frame, in which the lightning occurs as well as the following frame. Both frames are saved with a resolution of 1280720 pixels using JPEG compression.

* Camera Mode

LightningCam captures the lightning strike with the main camera with full photo resolution (5MP for iPhone 4, 8MP for iPhone 4S). Due to hardware limitations, fast lightning strikes might be missed in this mode with the iPhone 4, whereas the iPhone 4s should capture almost all lightning strikes within range.

Once the memory limit is reached, the app shows a gallery of the captured lightning images and allows selecting all images one wants to keep. These selected images are then saved to the iPhone camera roll.

There are also explicit warnings present in this app. Thunderstorms are obviously dangerous and life threatening for everyone and not healthy for iPhones either. Take care using this software! Do not take any risks and avoid exposure to thunderstorms. Use this App only in lightning and storm protected places. And - everyone is solely responsible for your actions and adverse consequences. There is a full safety warning included in the instructions page.

* iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S
