iPhone iOS4 low-level camera control?

Question

Is there a way to manually set low-level still-camera settings like shutter speed, aperture, or ISO in iOS4 on the iPhone 4? I don't think it exists in the official SDK but perhaps someone has found some private APIs to allow this?

I find my iPhone 4 camera to be unusable because even in fairly decent lighting, it always insists on shooting at the slowest 1/15th a second shutter speed causing motion blur if the subject is moving at all.

Thanks!

Good question. It looks like AVCaptureDevice might be the best you can do, and I don't think it provides access to all of the settings you're looking to control. That said, it might be a good place to start.
