R18 mainly changes how you operate the camera: a larger exposure slider, popup controls and button vibration. It also adds custom noise/AWB model loading and viewfinder frame-rate controls. Hasli describes this as a usability update with no image-quality change.
Documented changes
- A larger exposure control and popup option buttons make the viewfinder controls easier to reach.
- Button vibration, custom noise and white-balance model loading, and frame-rate controls were added.
- Default auxiliary-camera IDs, the dark theme, top bar, and slider sizing received fixes.
- The author describes this as a usability update without a quality change and says earlier configs are suitable.
Configuration and known limits
- Restart after selecting a custom noise or AWB model.
- The source does not publish separate F1-specific release notes.
