CameraPixels is a unique manual photography app. The premium tools and intuitive UI make CameraPixels the best choice for professional mobile photographers. CameraPixels participated in Berkley Eclipse Megamovie 2017 thanks to its extensive raw bracketing. All-in-one ============= CameraPixels is all-in-one capture solution, that supports multiple photo and video capture modes. Among them are Bracketing, Slow Shutter and Time-lapse modes. CameraPixels has the most advanced bracketing available on the iOS platform, which includes exposure and focus bracketing. Best for macro photography ============= With CameraPixels you can capture the best macro shots, be it a single image or a series of images, called focus bracketing, which can later be combined into one all-in-focus photo (requires external app for focus stacking). If you have an external macro lens, let CameraPixels save its name to the EXIF data for you, so later you can always remember which lens was used. Currently CameraPixels supports Olloclip™, Loupe System™ and Moment™ lenses. Best for professional HDR photography ============= CameraPixels has the most advanced exposure bracketing on iOS. With up to 15 images per bracket you can capture even the most difficult lighting situations. CameraPixels support auto-, iso and shutter-brackets, with an optional flash frame. The captured images can be used to create stunning HDR photos using your favorite professional HDR software. Intuitive UI ============= CameraPixels has a simple and efficient UI. The most important information is always in front of your eyes, and this allows you to avoid surprises like an unexpected flash fire or the wrong output photo or video format. Stop being distracted by the uncertainty of the settings, concentrate on your capture! ISO/Shutter priority modes ============= CameraPixels is among a few photography apps that support advanced exposure modes like ISO and Shutter priority. These modes are indispensable during dynamic photography when there is no time for adjusting manual exposure. Histogram and clipping warnings ============= The histogram is a great tool to estimate your exposure. It can show you if the photo has under-exposed or over-exposed areas. Clipping warnings, on the other hand, can show you exactly where those under and over-exposed areas in your photo are. Depth capture ============= On dual/triple-camera devices, CameraPixels can capture depth information alongside the colour photo. If the photo has depth information, in the preview window, two additional buttons appear (depth and portrait) that allow you to inspect the depth of the image and apply it to simulate an aperture. Presets ============= CameraPixels was designed for professional photographers that value efficiency of their workflow. The unlimited presets, including the possibility to expose them to Widget make CameraPixels the ultimate photography tool.

Acht Euro? Echt jetzt? ### 5/5 — Wow feature *2025-01-01* I’m not sure how developed this app is or how much backing it has for updates. But my gosh it offers one feature I can not find on any other free or paid app! The ability to dim your flash while recording what a game changer it is! I sometimes work at night and wanna record some stuff and to have the ability to lower my dim for less visibility and more emphasis and focus on what i want the camera to see it’s perfect I hope this never changes I truly love it for that feature alone! The app is ok could use tweaking here and there better UI make it a little cleaner more modern and sleek but otherwise it’s ok crashes at times when I wanna open my saved pictures or videos but otherwise wise it’s great! ### 5/5 — Get the full version! *2024-11-15* Fantastic app. They seem to have thought of everything. A must for anyone serious about phone photography. The light version has very low resolution but the paid version offers whatever your phone can put out. In my case it's iPhone 15 with 48 megapixels ### 5/5 — The Best Camera App *2024-11-13, version 2024.2.0* This is by far the best video camera app for iPhones. Please continue to make this app better. Thank you for your efforts. We truly truly appreciate it big time. The Pro version is kinda expensive though compared to other Pro apps. But overall it’s a really slick app 👍👍👍💕💕💕 ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-10-22, version 2024.1.0* I expected the resolution to be better when I bought the full version, but the photos look terrible! They refuse to refund my money! ### 5/5 — Excelente app *2024-07-26, version 2023.1.0* Buena app, una de las pocas que permite horquillado de exposición y enfoque, buenos controles manuales, el poder ajustar la intensidad del flash👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — The best *2024-05-13, version 2023.1.0* The best camera app in the market. I’ve try every well-known competitors… ### 5/5 — Very good *2024-04-19* Has everything I would want except very low shutter speeds like 30 seconds ## Frequently asked questions about CameraPixels Lite ### What does CameraPixels Lite do?
