Suggestions :
1. Make proximity sensor toggle the UI on/off.
2. Add a checkbox to the left of the manual focus progress bar which will control the functionality of intercepting the half press.
This will allow one to set manual focus, remove the UI to get fullscreen without dimming / blurring - take the shot without auto-focus getting in the way.

Good job mate,
I enjoy doing QA for you.
Eitam.

Edit :
1 more bug, which existed in all versions as far as I remember.
- The hw keyboard shortcuts do not always work on the 1st hit, they sometimes require double click, even if you just toggle red light on off on hw keyboard this happens.
thank you for your observations
1. when I first wrote the code for the proximity it was for showing and hiding the dialog but it got annoying when I put my thumb on the proximity by mistake and hide the dialog, then I thought it would be better just to tap on the screen to hide it instead.
2.lfocus does not turn off autofocus by default you only do that by turning on the keyboard shortcuts, as for taking a picture while the menu is shown, the solution I could think of right now is to automatically hide the menu and start capturing immediately, I think it is a good Idea and I will implement it in a future release.
3. yes the keyboard shortcuts are a bit laggy right now and you should hold on the shortcut for a little while for it to activate. I think I will find a solution for that in a future release also.
[Edit]
for #1 I think I could add a toggle button for the proximity showing/hiding the dialog
