CONTROL

- White Balance : for richer more accurate colors - especially skin tones.
- Exposure Compensation : stop images being too dark or too bright, or just make an artistic choice for more beautiful light.
- Focus to exactly the part at the picture you want or lock to create close up macro shots easier.
- ISO : get much sharper images in the dark, or much clearer photos in normal light with less noise.
- Shutter Speed : for fast action shots, or lower to produce cool effects like motion blur.

Live filters! See the world live through your chosen filter BEFORE you take the picture.
Our professional grade filters are based on the same technology used in cinema post-production.
Easily swipe left or right to change filter or use the browser.



SETTINGS

- Timer : set a photo to be taken hands free after a delay of 2 or 10 seconds after you press the shutter.
- Grid : overlay a grid over the viewfinder to aid composition.
- Format : choose from square or normal 4:3 sized photos.
- Zoom On Focus : the viewfinder will automatically zoom the view to aid accurate focusing.

Reviews

Not impressed
anti-right

I liked the dial since it didn't cover the screen, but the overall it doesn't impress. I only bought it to try the manual controls.


Image quality!!!
EthanOrozco

Please make the image quality better, focusing on a farther level has very poor image quality and doesn't reach as far as the native camera and other apps. I love the layout but the interface is a little weary and a bit hard to use. Also the grid turns off after you close the app. VSCO cam has these same features but is more complicated to use and does not take full advantage of iOS 8's manual controls. Overall I am very pleased with this app and it is worth .99¢ but if its possible please consider these ideas (if you can even fix these issues because i know the iPhones camera has its limitations). Thank you.


Seriously lacking
Nexus1001

Manual shutter speed crashes app when dialed up to max. High shutter speed still results in blurry action shots so the control is useless. No manual control over aperture


Beautiful
Monk Edsel

Two weeks ago, I bought a Nikon 1 J3. When I use this app, I feel like I'm using that camera. •••Thank you.•••


Lack an meter
cjmmusic

Over all I enjoy this app but I would love if they would add a meter so I could tell If I had the correct exposure.


Macro!! Thank you!
robfuzz

Amazing new photo app. I still need to play with it more but it's amazing to be able to make these manual adjustments while composing a shot. It's for real. It's not bs. Plus it offers macro photography! I think this is the only camera in the store that does. Finally!


promising, filters don't work
deadskinboy

the manual control features are great. filters look great (much better than apple's) but photos don't save to camera roll with them. fix that and this would be a great app.


Nice job!
otterman

I love the zoom on focus feature, but it disappears too quickly to be able to fine-tune the focus. I'd like to suggest allowing the zoom window to stay open until the finger is released.


Great App!
Offwings

For all of those who say stuff like "It doesn't have aperture control" here is why: The lenses on the iPhone comes aperture fixed. But. It is true, the filters don't work. Please fix this for a five star rating


Great camera app
