Das hätte ich deutlich besser erwartet …

Ok , 5 EUR sind nicht die Welt . Aber wenn ich mir nur die eingebaute Kamera im 12 Pro Max dagegen anschaue . Einfachere Bedienung , ja ich kann weniger manuell einstellen .

Aber jetzt kommt der wichtig Unterschied für mich .

Ich nehme meist 16:9 . Heißt viel zu sehen , vor Allem wenn im vertikalem Format . iOS Kamera zeigt mir dann beim gemachten Bild auch 16:9 im Bildschirm im geschossenen Foto , fast Bildschirmfüllend … Obscura3 … in einem mir fremden Format . Selbst bei 2:1 passt das Alles nicht .

Ich habe eine Erstattung beantragt … denn das ist ein echtes Problem .

Können die Entwickler sicher selbst nachvollziehen .

UPDATE iOS 27 und 27.2.

Katastrophe da sich die Kamera nicht an Hoch oder Querformat anpasst. Bilder die ich aufnehmen möchte sind um 90 Grad verschoben. Also nicht wie das iPad gehalten wird. Das ist ein Mega Problem zur Zeit.

BITTE DRINGEND MELDEN und HELFEN.

Danke.

Habe innerhalb von ein paar Minuten eine Antwort erhalten! Er wird die App wieder anpassen, da er ein Software Fehler wegen dem iPhone Duo „eingebaut hat“ … Ich lasse mich überraschen!

Super appareil photo

A remplacé l’app appareil photo de mon iPhone !

Been using for YEARS

I love using Obscura. i am no photographer, but the tools and menus are easy to use and navigate and it helps me take better pictures. i love the filters too! they’re really good.

i’ve been using this app for many years and the improvements over the years have been significant. it’s clearly a labour of love and you can feel that through every part of its design.

The best camera

Adds so much capability without getting in the way. If you care about how your photos turn out, you owe it to yourself to get it.

Super App

Bei der Suche nach einer App, die mich im Handling ob der vielen Klicks für die richtige Einstellung nicht verrückt macht, habe ich Obscura entdeckt. Bin noch in der Testphase, aber das macht schon richtig Laune. Intuitiv vom Feinsten. Sehr schönes Interface. Top. Ich habe nur ein Problem wenn ich die Fusion Cam nutze - die App stürzt beim Einstellen jeden Parameters sofort ab. Oder geht das nur in der gekauften Version?
