What's New in RawCam

1.5.0

September 25, 2026

Choose JPG-only capture alongside RAW and RAW+JPG. Optionally add location to photos and videos, with capture details in the RawCam roll. Redesigned quick controls make Auto and Manual exposure easier to use. Tap a readout or swipe up to open controls, hold the photo shutter to start video, and pinch to step between supported lenses. Mode switches reset camera adjustments to Auto. Includes clearer typography, a compact capture readout, and layout improvements for expanded controls.

Excellent and..

This is a great app if you have the external storage space for it, the images are excellent. Be sure to run a short USB 10Gbps or better cable with a fast external ssd .
Wish list - Anamorphic de-squeeze, or at least at the display stage

FAQ

What is RawCam?

RawCam is a camera app designed for capturing unprocessed DNG photos and clean video. It avoids AI post-processing, allowing users to edit their images in external RAW editors.

Does RawCam have ads?

No, RawCam is completely ad-free. The app does not collect any user data, make network requests, or include any third-party tracking.

What is the 12-megapixel limit in RawCam?

Apple limits third-party RAW capture to 12MP. This is a platform restriction, not a limitation of RawCam itself, and applies to all apps other than the native Camera app.

Can I edit RawCam photos directly in the app?

RawCam focuses on capturing the raw sensor data. While it has a 'RawCam roll' for recent photos, it is designed to be used with external RAW editors like Lightroom or Capture One for full processing.

What devices does RawCam support?

RawCam currently supports iPhone devices. It was released on May 1, 2026, and its latest version is 1.4.2, updated on August 15, 2026.

How often is RawCam updated?

RawCam was last updated on August 15, 2026, with version 1.4.2. The app is open source, suggesting potential for community-driven updates.

What are the manual controls available in RawCam?

RawCam offers manual controls for ISO, shutter speed, EV compensation, white balance (with presets and Kelvin adjustment), focus, and exposure targeting. It also features AF/AE lock.

Is RawCam suitable for beginners?

While RawCam offers advanced manual controls, its core function of capturing raw data and requiring external editing might be more suited for users familiar with photo editing workflows. However, its minimal interface and clear privacy policy are user-friendly.
