## What is CropCamera?

Turn Everyday Moments into Timeless Memories

Frame everyday scenes and travel memories with your favorite composition and color, and transform each moment into something unforgettable.

This camera app lets you shoot exactly as you see through a camera viewfinder. Crop your composition in real time and capture it with your own custom look—so your photos are ready the moment you press the shutter. No editing required.

Features

* Choose from multiple focal lengths (35mm equivalent*) as if you’re switching between prime lenses on a camera.
* Select from four beautifully crafted filters: Std, B&W, Warm, and Cool.
* Fine-tune the contrast, saturation, highlights, and shadows of each filter to create your own signature look.
* Record video instantly by simply pressing the red REC button—no need to switch camera modes.
* Capture Live Photos.
* Adjust the aperture (f-stop) to create beautiful background blur.
* Record videos in 4K or Full HD at 30 fps or 24 fps.
* Turn HDR (High Dynamic Range) capture on or off.
* Take photos with a silent shutter.
* Save both your customized photo and the original unedited image at the same time (optional in Settings).

How to Use

1. Select a focal length (35mm equivalent*).
2. Check the semi-transparent framing guide.
    * Double-tap the screen to zoom into the selected frame for a closer preview.
3. Compose your shot.
4. Tap the subject to lock focus.
5. Adjust the exposure (EV).
6. Press the shutter button.

Notes

* Photos are saved to Apple’s built-in Photos app.
* This app does not include an image preview gallery. Please use the Photos app to view your captured photos.
* Videos are always recorded in a 16:9 aspect ratio, regardless of the selected photo aspect ratio.
* Photos are saved after being cropped to the selected frame. As a result, image resolution may be reduced at certain focal lengths. Please keep this in mind if you plan to print your photos.

* Focal lengths are approximate 35mm-equivalent values and are provided for reference only.

### 5/5 — 最高のカメラです

*2025-07-25*

大変便利に使わせてもらっています。一つだけ、バグだと思うのですが
・インカメラで横向きで撮影すると天地が逆で保存されてしまいます。
縦撮影は問題ありません。
横向きロックなどはしておらず、アプリの設定かなと思い探してみるも特になく。。
その他の機能やレスポンス、ロック画面に設定できることなどとても気に入っておりますので、上記の問題を解決していただけたらと思います。

**Developer response:** 評価ならびに貴重なご意見ありがとうございます。インカメラで横向き撮影の際、天地が逆に保存される点について、バージョンアップにて修正いたしました。今後ともよろしくお願い致します。

### 5/5 — iPhoneで撮影する気持ちが上がる！

*2025-07-23*

希薄になりがちなiPhoneでの撮影を、少し気分を上げて撮影ことができます。
ブライトフレーム、カスタムできる盛りすぎないフィルター、無音シャッター、まさに理想としていたカメラアプリでした！
ひとつだけ不満があるとしたら、他のカメラアプリ同様、画面回転をロックしていても横位置写真は横向きで保存されるようになったら良いなーと思っています。

**Developer response:** ご利用ならびに貴重なご意見ありがとうございます。画面回転をロックしている状態でも、横位置写真は横向きで保存されるようにアップデートさせていただきました。今後とも、よろしくお願いいたします。

### 4/5 — 一見難しいが

*2025-02-06*

一見、各表記の意味などが分からず難しく感じましたが、慣れれば良さそうです。ポートレートが撮れる無音カメラが無かったので助かりました。水平になってるか分かる機能(グリッド線？)が付いてればもっと有難いです。

### 5/5 — まるでレンジファインダー

*2024-10-08*

自分がこういうの作りたい！と思ってたら売ってました笑
まるでライカのファインダーのようなカメラで、機能も詳しい設定ができて素晴らしいです👍
無音シャッターとなっていますが、
シャッターのブラックアウトの再現と、
ハプティック(振動)でシャッター感覚を模しているのもナイスです。

機能追加して欲しいのが、プロのマニュアルモード(ISO固定、F値とSS可変)、LUTファイルの適用(カラープロファイル)、クロップカメラという名前をもっと素敵なものに変えたら最高です。
売れて欲しいアプリNo.1です！
応援してます。

**Developer response:** 応援ならびにフィードバックありがとうございます。ご要望のありました、機能追加について検討させて頂きます。お時間を要するかと思いますが、少しでもお客さまの、お役に立てるよう努めてまいります。引き続きのご愛顧のほど、よろしくお願いします。

### 2/5 — and the sensor size?

*2024-07-03*

50mm is not 50mm

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.
The focal length of this app is 35mm equivalent sensor size. Therefore, other sensor sizes are not supported. (e.g. APS-C, 4/3 sensor, etc.)

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-06-23*

Exactly what I was looking for, a tool to pre-visualize different focal lengths so I don’t have to my camera out of my bag. 
Would be even more awesome if there was an option to hide everything outside of the frame of the selected focal length, like an actual digital viewfinder.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. In the New version (2.1.3), I have added the feature to switch between the magnification viewfinder (like an actual digital viewfinder) and the bright frame viewfinder by double tapping the viewfinder. Enjoy your photography!

### 5/5 — A great little tool to pre-visualize framing

*2023-06-05*

A simple but effective app to quickly visualize different focal lengths akin to the viewfinder on a regular rangefinder camera that even lets you choose the magnification depending on the specific lenses on your phone.

### 5/5 — 撮影を楽しめる。

*2022-03-21*

ズームではなく、クロップで画角を決めるのは、単焦点レンズの感覚を身につけるのに有意義だ。設定を特化しているので、メニューを開くことなく素早く調整できる。 リセットボタンがあるのもナイス。 ストレスふりーで、とにかく撮影が楽しいアプリ。
