Question: Will the Nova external flash fire even if the iPhone's internal flash is turned off?
Document: I downloaded the app, opened it and took a picture. There's not even an on button. More gadgets should be designed like this- really simple hardware with a well designed mobile app driving it. Waaaay easier to use than the radio flash I've got.
I got this via the Kickstarter, and have been having fun with it so far. I do, however, have a couple of semi-serious gripes that you should be aware of.Color temperature: They advertise the flash as producing cool to warm tones, but (at least on mine) it more like warm and warmer, even the coolest setting is not remotely close to daylight, which limits it's usefulness in a lot of settings (like softening shadows in the shade).
App works great to sync with Nova Camera flash on my ipad air. Remember to keep it charged and it is very useful in various lighting situations.
Nova is rad! I avoid my built in flash because the results are ghastly. I now enjoy using flash with Nova. Simple, compact and amazing results.A photographer recommended it to me and now I recommend the Nova to you!
I really hate to dump on this product, but as it stands now, it's a total waste of money. The developer of it was asking me to send him photos as examples of it working incorrectly, however he never bothers to follow up, but he seemed like a nice guy.The issue is, if you expose for the background, and try to use the Nova as you would a real flash it does not work.
I love taking pictures with Nova. I was initially hesitant at buying Nova since my cell phone has a built in flash. The problem with the built in flash is simply too harsh on the subject; meaning it drains the natural colors and facial features.The best way I can describe Nova is a gentle light source that really preserves the features of the subject. It's also slim enough that you can keep it in your pocket without it getting in the way.
This easy to use device went from an experiment to essential shockingly fast.If you care at all about your photos, I definitely recommend it. If you don't care as much as other people, but still take a lot of photos, Nova will be a better investment than you expect. Give it a shot.
I get far better results with a real camera app and my pocket flashlight.They are apparently releasing an API for iOS and Android that will let other camera app makers support the Nova, but there's no word yet if any major app makers are planning on adding it.
Great execution on a solid idea.I like to take photos as reminders more than documentation; therefore, getting the &#34;perfect&#34; shot hasn't ever been a priority of mine. When I first heard about Nova I was intrigued, but I wasn't sure if it was really worth buying given my style of picture taking. Then Nova came out and my friends wouldn't stop raving about it, and I decided to give it a try.
When you press the test button, it lights up night and bright. It appears the issue is that the flash turns off too early, as in before the capture of the image.As to why this has 5 stars, I'm not sure. Perhaps people using it have little idea how it should work? But the whole point of a flash is to light something, and this does not.
Answer: You actually use the Nova Camera app to take pictures - so the Nova will fire when paired via app, regardless of how the native flash is configured. Download Nova Camera to check it out. The pics you take show up in your camera roll on the iPhone.  The app has a pretty good editing software but I usually open/edit pics in Snapseed.  I really like the Nova, and have given as a gift.
