Lumen Camera

INTRODUCING PURE MODE AI and computational processing, switched off. Your photo, developed like film. Every photo your iPhone takes is processed before you ever see it: frames fused, shadows lifted, skies improved, grain scrubbed away. It's why everyday photos look so good — and it's all still here. Pure is for when you want the other thing. Lumen takes a single frame and develops it right inside the app, the way a darkroom develops a negative — classical tools, a fixed recipe, the same treatment every shot. No AI. No computational processing. What comes out looks like film, not a feed. Honest grain. Highlights that roll off instead of clipping. Shadows that stay dark when the night was dark. • Live Pure Preview — see the developed look in the viewfinder before you shoot • Developed from one untouched frame, straight off the sensor • 10-bit HEIC with real HDR, or JPEG when you need it • Keep the RAW negative alongside the finished photo • Manual controls, exposure brackets and focus brackets all work while Pure is armed • Shoots in Semi-Manual and Manual on optical lenses, at 12 MP ALSO NEW FULL JPEG SUPPORT Up to 48 MP, in brackets and in Pure Mode, with HDR built in. FILTERS + RAW, TOGETHER Shoot with a creative filter and keep the untouched RAW. Both saved, every time. MACRO FOCUS BRACKETING Focus stacking now works up close — tiny subjects, sharp from front to back. MORE DETAIL IN AUTO Auto now captures at 24 MP, including cropped aspect ratios. REFINED EVERYWHERE Better HDR in every format, brighter HDR playback in the in-app gallery, and dozens of fixes across capture, stacking, and saving.
