A rebuilt gallery and a faster, smoother camera. GALLERY • Your captures are now collected into a dedicated "GelDoc Imager" album, keeping gel documentation separate from your personal photos. Existing captures move into it automatically the first time you open this version. • The gallery is grouped by date and scrolls far more smoothly. • Select multiple photos to share or delete them. • Photos open instantly. Pinch and double-tap zoom, swiping between shots, and swipe down to dismiss are all much more responsive. CAMERA • Significantly faster live preview. • The app no longer freezes while saving a capture. • Tap the preview to focus and meter on that spot. ISO and shutter now show what the camera actually selected, and adjusting either takes over from there. • Focus and exposure are now independent, so autofocus no longer discards a manual exposure you've set. • Photos taken with the phone on its side now save the right way up, and the on-screen controls rotate to stay readable. FIXES • The shutter button could become permanently unresponsive after a failed capture. • Exposure compensation could drift far off when adjusted in manual mode. • Saturation started at zero on a fresh install. • The lens picker and front-camera button didn't always update. • The front camera preview was not mirrored.
