AVCaptureDevice isLowLightBoostSupported always returns false

Hi,

i'm using [AVCaptureDevice defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo] to capture data from the camera. I lock on the camera some settings like exposure, focus and white balance but when I try to set automaticallyEnablesLowLightBoostWhenAvailable = true on the device I can't. The check that I do before setting the value, [device isLowLightBoostSupported] always returns false.


I'm testing on an iPhone 6.


Is there any reason why the isLowLightBoostSupported always returns false? The documentation doesn't say why this could be false.


Regards,

Sorin

lowLightBoost was a supported feature on iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c. On newer devices, the technology has been supplanted by autoStillImageStabilization, which produces better results in low light.

Is there some documentation related to autoStillImageStabilization ? Google could not find any. And it'd be good to update the doc on isLowLightBoostSupported 🙂
