## What is DepthGaze Clear Water Camera?

See into the water — through your iPhone camera, in real time.

DepthGaze is a live camera viewer for water. Hold your phone above
the surface, looking down — and DepthGaze cuts glare, restores
colour, and lifts contrast that the water normally swallows. What
you see in the viewfinder IS the enhanced view of what's beneath.

Not a filter. Not a post-processor. A real-time viewer.

WHO IT'S FOR
• Anglers spotting fish, weed beds, and structure
• Beach and shore walkers exploring shorelines from dry land
• Pier and jetty observers watching fish, structure, and bottom
  detail from above
• Anyone who looks down at water and wishes they could see more

WHAT IT DOES, ON EVERY FRAME
• Suppresses surface glare — the white sheen of sun on calm water
  is attenuated without crushing other highlights
• Restores colour at depth — water absorbs red light first, leaving
  everything cyan-blue. DepthGaze reverses the math, returning
  subjects toward their actual colours
• Lifts subsurface contrast — texture and edges that wash out in
  raw camera output come through

WHAT'S FREE — NO PURCHASE NEEDED
• Standard mode — balanced glare cut + colour restoration, your everyday view
• Low Light (Beta) — dawn, dusk, heavy overcast; still being refined
• RAW — unprocessed reference feed
• Auto smoothing — temporal noise reduction
• Large Photos — full-sensor capture, not just preview resolution
• Save straight to your Photo Library

DEPTHGAZE PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION
More processing modes:
• DeGlare — maximum glare removal for bright sun on calm water
• Deep Boost — read further down in clearer water
• Edge Reveal — structural edge overlay for spotting shapes
• Spectral — false-colour diagnostic view
• Structure Map — relative-depth colour bands, chart-style view of the
  bottom (NOT a numeric depth measurement)

Smart & precision tools:
• Smart Mode — auto-picks the right mode for the scene
• White Balance Calibration — tap a neutral surface to lock colour
• Red Synthesis — restores red on algal / green-dominant water
• Scene Conditions — readability rating for the current scene
• Focus Peaking — amber outlines on in-focus edges
• Water Mask — colour-corrects only true water pixels; subjects and
  dry surfaces pass through untouched
• Local Contrast — per-tile detail boost for flat scenes
• Stronger smoothing (Strong / Max) — multi-frame noise reduction

Capture extras:
• Save Location With Photos — geotag + suburb name in EXIF
• Remove watermark from saved photos

WHAT DEPTHGAZE IS NOT
• Not a depth gauge, sonar, or measurement tool
• Not a navigation or safety device
• Not designed for submerged use — the phone stays above the surface
• The Structure Map shows zones, not numeric depths
• Never make safety-critical decisions (entering water, diving,
  anchoring, navigating) based on what the app shows
• Not magic for muddy water — DepthGaze enhances what's already there,
  it doesn't reveal what isn't. Best in clear and lightly-tinted water.
  If you can't see the bottom through the surface with your own eyes,
  DepthGaze can't either. Heavily silted, post-storm, or peat-stained
  water limits how deep the app can usefully process. Physics has limits.

PRIVACY
All image processing happens on your iPhone. Camera frames are never
uploaded or shared. No analytics SDKs. No telemetry. No ad trackers.
No accounts. We run no servers for the app; it sends us nothing. Its
only network activity: the App Store's check of whether your account
owns Pro, and — only if you turn on Save Location With Photos — a
coarsened place-name lookup. That toggle is off by default.
