Since the release of the 1.1 update Cam-u-flage allow you to choose your own picture to stay on top while taking undercover pictures.
This is a great feature if you don’t like my excellent presets… but it’s also an oportunity to really camouflage your photo-taking. Why? Because you can take screenshots of your iPhone and use them!
If you are new to iPhone you may not know this hidden feature on iPhone OS. You can take screenshots of any application, anytime, very easily. Just hold the Home button and the lock button together for a couple of seconds and then release them together. You should see a white flash and the camera shutter sound. Then you can go to the Photos app to see the screenshot.
It’s obvious what are the best choices for screenshots: your springboard home page, the Messages app, the Mail app or just any game you like. Ha! People won’t understand what’s going on! Just enable the full camouflage toolbar and take pictures in full undercover!!
Hope you like the tips! Comment on the post if you have another great way to use cam-u-flage!

I want to let you all know about the latest FAQs you are all making on Cam-u-flage v1.1. I see a lot of great suggestions and questions coming from reviews and mails, so this are the answers if you are still wandering:
About the camera shutter sound
The iPhone camera makes a sound like a real camera when taking a picture. This sound is impossible for me to remove because of Apple’s limitations to developers. When you think about it, it’s quite alright for the sound to be on all the time, so you can know when a picture is being taken on a certain app. Of course, not quite what we need for our purposes of taking camouflaged pictures right? But, a limitation is indeed there. And I cannot get rid of it. You will have to mute your phone with the provided switch on the side of the phone to avoid the camera shutter sound. As soon as this stops being a limitation, I will update for sure.
PS: To Apple: you can just make rid of this by making a simple question to the user about the need of using the camera, just like GPS does. So users can allow or not the use of the camera in applications as they see fit. :)
I own an iPhone 3GS, I love my video camera and I need it cam-u-flaged!
So do I !!! Wouldn’t that be just GREAT? But, again, another Apple limitation. The new iPhone 3.1 firmware allowed Cam-u-flage to exist. Prior to that, an application could not do what I do now with still pictures. Video is still not available for third parties. You will have to use the built-in camera app to record your videos. But again, as soon as Apple lets me, Cam-u-flage will record video.
About the slow saving time on photos taken
You may or not have noticed that Cam-u-flage does not save the pictures taken right away, just like the built-in camera application does. This is a bit strange, but it’s not Cam-u-flage’s fault. I have indeed reported this bug to Apple, as it takes 5-10 seconds to record a single photo to the phone’s memory, and that is VERY slow. Hopefully this will auto-fix with future iPhone firmware releases.
That’s about it for now. These are the most common questions I receive via email or reviews. I really do appreciate your feedback, so keep it coming!!
Hope this helps to understand a bit what can and cannot be done with present iPhone hardware and software.
Cheers!
Sebastian
PS: Doing anything via jailbreak is COMPLETELY out of the question. Sorry guys. Apple way is the only way for me, and it’s going to stay like that. :)
