Option to disable white capture flash / allow custom capture screen for DSLR mode

Feature Request

Add an option to disable or replace the white screen flash on the iPad when a photo is taken with a DSLR: turn it off entirely, use a black screen or a subtle fade, or show a custom branded capture screen or overlay. In an enclosed booth the white flash feels distracting and unpolished.

Original request

Hey guys,

I’m running LumaBooth with a DSLR (Canon SL1) in a physical photo booth build and everything is working great overall, but there’s one thing that really stands out in a negative way.

When the photo is taken, the iPad screen flashes white. In a booth environment this feels really distracting and honestly a bit unpolished, especially compared to how clean and branded the rest of the experience can be.

I’d love to see an option to control or replace this behavior. Ideally something like:

  • Ability to disable the white screen flash entirely

  • Option to switch it to a black screen or subtle fade instead

  • Even better: allow a custom capture screen or overlay (for example a branded screen, animation, or even something simple like an arrow pointing toward the camera lens)

This would make the experience feel much more intentional and high-end, especially for weddings and branded events.

Right now everything else in LumaBooth is very customizable, so this feels like one of the last pieces that breaks the immersion a bit.

Appreciate all the work you guys are doing — this would be a huge upgrade for booth builders.

Thanks!

      I can’t see that option on my IPad? Looks like you’re using Windows.

    It's an the actual software in the pod/booth.

    Go to “Screen Editor’ of then ‘Capture Screen”

      This is in my personal iPad and I built the booth with all my exciting hardware. How do you get the option in the App?

      There isn’t a screen editor option.

    I'm running Lumabooth on a PC. Maybe the option isn't available on iPad. Maybe an iPad user can advise.
