FIXED Crash in 1.41 when opening popup menu in video mode on devices without flash.
FIXED Crash in 1.41 related to taking photos on burst mode with no delay when camera closing.

FIXED No longer shows exposure flashes on the screen when taking HDR photos with Camera2 API.
FIXED "Pause after taking photo" option was pausing preview after stopping video recording.

button; similarly switch back to photo mode by selecting the smaller photo icon next to the
record video button.
UPDATED ISO controls now moved entirely to the exposure icon.
UPDATED Changing ISO values is faster (except for switching between auto and manual mode on Camera2
API).
UPDATED Improved performance by closing camera on background thread when application pauses.
UPDATED HDR improvements (ghost removal, and brightening of too dark images).
UPDATED Expo bracketing and HDR photo modes now have maximum exposure time of 0.5s (for Camera2
API).

Version 1.40 (2017/08/18)

FIXED Front screen flash wasn't showing if in "everything" immersive mode.
FIXED Shouldn't show "RAW" on-screen icon when RAW is enabled, but it's not
supported by the current camera.

FIXED Various crashes.

FIXED For DRO and HDR modes with Camera2 API, don't set ISO value outside of
supported range.
ADDED Polish translation (thanks to Jacek Buczyński).

photos coming out too dark).
UPDATED Changing color effect or white balance is now faster, and no longer
closes the popup (unless switching to manual white balance); for
Camera2 mode, changing scene mode is also faster.

haven't been modified.
UPDATED Close camera on background thread.
UPDATED Pause icon now changes when pausing video (thanks to Johan Ejdemark).
UPDATED Make pause icon easier to see against bright backgrounds.

when using Camera2 API.
UPDATED Performance improvements: reduced memory allocations.
UPDATED Make sure exposure lock icon is set whilst camera is opening.
UPDATED White balances, scene modes, color effects are now shown as "user
readable" strings (except for old Camera API where there are device
specific values). This also means these strings can be translated in
future versions.

compensation and manual ranges.
