We’ve previously told you that the Panorama camera mode in iOS camera app was found inside iOS 5 betas’ code. Some hackers today were able to enable the panorama camera mode of the Camera app in iOS 5 by changing a key value in the iOS SDK.
The exposed panorama mode allows iPhone users to capture a panorama image by snapping photos continually from left to right. The screenshot below showing how the interface works on the iOS camera app.
A sample of an image taken with panorama mode:
The hack to enable panorama camera mode was found by Conrad Kramer and the developer claims (on Twitter) that he’ll be releasing a new tweak to allow everyone to get it. (update: the tweak coming out tomorrow).
Since the files are there on iOS 5 and the mode successfully enable, Apple will be surely releasing the feature soon. Jailbreak always makes things happen before Apple does.
