2.1

September 30, 2016

– Lens switcher for the iPhone 7 Plus. Tap the 1x button in the top icon row to toggle between the 28mm and 56mm lenses. Neat! – New widget for fast access to Manual from lock screen! To add the widget swipe right on lock or home screen, scroll to bottom of widgets, tap Edit and add Manual as top item. Wow fast. – We added some nice little haptic feedback bumps and clicks for iPhone 7. Feels good, man. – Fixed dumb bug where RAW files didn't save location. – Have you been working out? Just a few reminders for handling the RAW DNG files: – The Photos app doesn't support viewing DNG properly, so instead it shows the low resolution preview image embedded in the DNG. – If an app doesn't understand DNG it will import the low resolution preview and look bad. Make sure it's compatible. – Some apps will misread the metadata on the file as having a very small resolution, again this is the low res preview file being read. RAW always captures the full resolution of the sensor. You just need to open the DNG in a compatible app.

Yes!! – Compatible devices are iPhone SE, 6s, 6s Plus, 7, or 7 Plus. – Requires iOS 10 – You have the option to save either DNG (RAW), JPEG, or both simultaneously. – You need to install the brand new iOS 10 update and have a compatible device to be eligible, sorry babe. – When viewing DNG files Photos.app they will look low-res, open in a DNG compatible app to see the beautiful full resolution. – Performance improvements for massive photo libraries. – Everyone loves hanging out with you, they always say so.

Reviews of Manual

  • Great but recent UI is clunky

    Not sure what has changed but the sliders for SS/ISO take way longer to change now compared to a few years ago.
  • Almost there

    With no control over f/stop this really isn’t a manual camera app. You control ISO, Shutter speed and white balance. If there were just control over f/stop this would be a very good app.
  • I hate the tutorial waste of money tutorial makes app impossible to use

    Waste of money you can’t get out of the tutorial so you can barely use the app. I want my money back this is trash
