## What is GarmCam?

GarmCam brings your iPhone and compatible Garmin watch together. Position your iPhone, check the composition from your wrist, adjust the shot, and remotely take a photo or start recording.

Key features:

• Native iPhone photo and video capture
• Low-frame grayscale composition preview on watches that support full mode
• Remote shutter and photo/video mode controls
• AI solo composition that detects full-body or half-body framing, provides guidance, and can trigger an automatic countdown
• Front and rear camera switching
• Native zoom levels matched to the connected iPhone model
• Off, 3-second, 5-second, and 10-second timers
• Touch controls, plus focus-based button navigation on non-touch watches
• Portrait and landscape composition options for the front camera
• In-app access to your latest photos and videos

Requirements:

• iPhone with iOS 17 or later
• GarmCam watch app installed on a compatible Garmin watch
• Garmin Connect / Connect IQ for initial setup and installation
• The phone detects watch capability automatically: full mode uses a low-frame grayscale preview, while lightweight mode sends shutter commands only

Full preview mode covers fēnix 7/8/E, epix Gen 2/Pro, Venu 2/3/4/Sq 2/X1, vivoactive 5/6, and selected Forerunner, Instinct AMOLED, Enduro, Descent, and Approach watches. fēnix 6, Instinct 2/3 Solar/E, Forerunner 55/245/745/945, vivoactive 4, and similar models use a more reliable single-button shutter-only mode. Check the Connect IQ store for your exact model.
