## What is Night Camera?

Thanks to the manual setting options for light exposure up to 1 second *, separate residual light- and ISO enhancement, Night Camera is perfect for taking pictures in a dark, insufficiently lit environment. Even during daylight, your pictures are clearer, with less interference, due to the extended exposure times.

Regardless whether you take night-, scenery- or other photographs, the picture quality you are able to achieve with Night Camera will surprise you.

You can easy tap to focus and tap to exposure at the same time. After selecting the desired setting, you can easily lock it to prevent changes despite movement.

Only here you can get luminance, luminosity and RGB histograms in real time to recognize over- and underexposure in time.

The self-timer, which is imperative for nighttime shots, enables you to take un-blurred pictures.

With the aid of the volume buttons you can take pictures with volume up (+) and fade the HUD-elements in- and out with volume down (-).

Of course you can also block the white balance separately and edit it if necessary.

Standard image formats (4:3, 3:2, 1:1, 16:9 and 3:1) can be edited live. The full-screen mode is activated for narrow image formats, enabling maximum display use. This feature can also be deactivated.

The histogram adapts to all image formats.

The up to 10x digital live zoom can be edited in the settings to enable a greater precision level during targeted zooming.

Various real-time color filters complete this app.

---------------------------- 

All the screenshots listed were taken with an iPhone and iPad and are genuine! 

Please note that this app does not provide true night vision functionality. The iPhone, iPad and iPod touch have no infrared amplifier, as a result no pictures can be taken in total darkness; a minimal level of light is still required, which can be ascertained by the camera's sensors. The preview will also be delayed in exposure mode. In addition the camera must be held stable for exposure time.

### 1/5 — App was good several years ago

*2026-08-15*

App was decent several years ago and only really needed occasional use. However, app is an add filled mess now (always kind of way, but now somehow worse). U can drop the adds for the low, low price of $8.99……a week. Hysterically stupid. App was only ok to begin with and would struggle to justify a one time expense of $8.99, let alone a weekly charge. Predatory garbage. Likely hoping you pull the trigger on that when you need it and that you subsequently forget to unsubscribe after your one week use. Don’t reward this business with a download for even the “free” garbage it claims to be.

### 4/5 — Vision

*2026-08-07, version 5.4*

It’s nice but there is no night vision i haven’t found any yet that had real night vision but if i do end up finding one you probably have to pay for it which it should be free

### 4/5 — 満足

*2026-08-06*

夜景用に

### 2/5 — Worked well in the past, not anymore

*2026-06-25*

This app worked really well in the past. Sadly, the current version I have installed on my phone (the latest one I can update to on my old phone) doesn’t work. The full screen ad that pops up after I click the “Start Camera” button keeps blocking my ability to get to the camera screen (I waited over a minute and didn’t see a close/X button).

### 1/5 — Not up front about cost

*2026-06-09, version 5.2*

Would be great if it was free or not monthly

### 1/5 — Nach Start penetrant mit Werbung zugespammt

*2026-06-05*

Nach dem Start der App erstmal ewig mit Werbung zugespammt werden ohne überhaupt irgend eine Funktion der App gesehen zu haben. 
Danke nein. App gleich wieder gelöscht

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-05-29, version 5.1*

Cool

### 5/5 — Impressive

*2026-05-21, version 5.1*

It does exactly as advertised, I use it for content creation and have to admit the photo quality in low light scenarios is noticeably clearer

### 1/5 — Nao é câmera noturna

*2026-05-08*

Nao é gratis

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-04-03, version 5.0.1*

Superior fool would like a free trial and extras
