## What is Lumen?

Lumen is an on-device AI camera for still photos. It reads the scene live — faces, light, motion, landscapes — and continuously tunes focus, exposure and tone for you. Then it finishes each photo with a hand-crafted analog film-style color rendering (still photography only — Lumen does not record video).

MACRO MODE, BUILT IN
Lumen has a dedicated macro mode with real-time focus peaking: sharp edges glow red so you always know exactly what's in focus. Perfect for close-up detail shots, nature and product photography.

TWO MODES
• AI · 12MP — full scene-aware processing plus your chosen film-style color look.
• Max Quality · 24MP — Apple's full-resolution photo pipeline, no filters, for maximum detail.

COLOR LOOKS
Eight color renderings inspired by classic analog film stocks: Standard, Classic, Eternal, Brass, Contemporary, B&W HC, Selenium and Sepia. Swipe to compare; the active look glows.

BUILT FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS
• Tap to focus and meter anywhere.
• 0.5x / 1x / 2x / 5x zoom presets plus pinch.
• Live face-tracking autofocus.
• Full EXIF preserved; photos saved to a dedicated Lumen album.

PRO MODE (one-time unlock)
For photographers who want full creative control:
• Manual ISO, shutter speed, white balance and focus
• Unlock all eight film looks
• Max Quality · 24MP for highest detail
One-time purchase, no subscription.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything runs on your device. No accounts, no servers, no analytics, no tracking. Your photos never leave your phone unless you share them.
