Capture sleeping faces and pets, quietly. Shizucam is a camera designed with quiet moments in mind. Capture your baby while they sleep, your pet’s natural expressions, or special moments when you want to be considerate of those around you. No ads. In v1.6, we improved how videos are saved. Videos saved successfully are moved to the Photos app and are not kept as full videos inside Shizucam. Videos left behind by an older version or videos that could not be saved can be reviewed and organized in Settings > Manage In-App Videos. Deleting from this screen removes only the in-app copy and does not affect videos in the Photos app. Shizucam cannot automatically determine whether a legacy video has already been saved to Photos. Please check before deleting anything you need. Live Photo and smooth lens-spanning zoom are also supported, so you can quietly capture brief movements such as a baby turning over or a pet’s wagging tail. ■ Features ▶ Capture Live Photos Record approximately three seconds of movement before and after the shutter, attached to a single photo. Capture blinks and natural gestures quietly. ▶ Smooth pinch-to-zoom Move smoothly between lenses from 0.5x to 5x with a pinch gesture, without noticeable transitions. ▶ Launch from the Lock Screen Open Shizucam with one tap from a Lock Screen widget, so you are less likely to miss a fleeting moment. ▶ Designed for quiet moments On-screen indicators and haptic feedback make the shooting state clear while keeping the experience considerate in quiet settings. ▶ Compare shots instantly Swipe through your photos right after shooting and choose your favorite. ▶ Fine-tune filters Adjust contrast, highlights, shadows, saturation, temperature, midtones, and fade with a live preview. Save up to five custom presets in addition to Natural, Vivid, and Mono. ▶ Shooting presets Save lens, exposure, filter, and image-quality settings together and recall them with one tap. ▶ Collages Arrange your photos into a collage right after shooting. ▶ Considerate video recording A REC indicator, elapsed time, and red recording frame make the recording state clear while you capture natural movements. ▶ No duplicate in-app video storage Successfully saved videos are moved to the Photos app instead of being kept as full videos inside Shizucam. Videos that fail to save are protected and can be saved to Photos later. ▶ No ads, storage-conscious No banners or pop-ups. Shizucam avoids keeping duplicate copies of successfully saved videos inside the app. ■ Great for ・Next to a sleeping baby ・Capturing your pet’s natural behavior ・Quiet places where you want to be considerate ・Saving a fleeting expression or gesture ・Starting quickly from the Lock Screen ・Capturing unexpected moments while traveling ・Comparing photos immediately after shooting ■ Supported features ・Live Photo capture ・Lock Screen widget ・Photo capture: 48MP / 24MP / 12MP ・Video capture: 4K / HD ・Apple ProRAW ・Lens switching: 0.5x / 1x / 2x / 5x, with continuous pinch-to-zoom ・Exposure compensation (EV) ・Filter adjustments ・Collages ・Saving videos to Photos ・Re-saving videos that failed to save ・Managing in-app videos ・Location recording ・Languages: Japanese / English / Korean - Available features vary by device. - Depending on the volume setting, a small sound may be heard. ■ Privacy Your photos, videos, and location data are never sent to the developer’s servers. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.6 — 2026-08-17 v1.6 — Improved video storage to reduce unnecessary app storage use. ▶ No duplicate video storage Successfully saved videos are moved to the Photos app and are no longer kept as full copies inside Shizucam. Cleaning up in-app copies does not affect videos in Photos. ▶ Organize videos from older versions Added “Manage In-App Videos” in Settings. Review videos left by older versions and videos that could not be saved. ▶ Protect videos that fail to save Videos that fail to save are not automatically deleted. Save them to Photos later, or delete only the in-app copy if you no longer need it. ▶ Clearer recording status The red recording frame now appears reliably along all four edges of the screen. Recording start/stop interactions and feedback have also been improved. ### 1.5 — 2026-07-09 English v1.5 — Now with Live Photo and continuous zoom. ▶ Live Photo mode added Capture about 3 seconds of motion along with your photo. Perfect for wiggly kids and pets — captured quietly. ▶ Zoom smoothly across lenses Pinch to glide seamlessly between 0.5x and 5x. Zoom transitions feel more natural. ### 1.4.1 — 2026-06-27 v1.4.1 — Shutter and video display improvements. ▶ Steadier shutter Photos now capture the moment you lift your finger, not the moment you first touch the button. This reduces small hand movements during press, especially in low light. ▶ Video display fix Fixed video mode preview framing so the visible shooting guide matches the actual recording area. ### 1.4 — 2026-05-29 v1.4 — Lock Screen widget support. ▶ Open faster from the Lock Screen You can now add Shizucam to the Lock Screen widget area and open the camera with one tap. ▶ Improved launch stability Camera startup is now more stable when opened from widgets or quick access. ▶ Small visual refinements Refined the widget icon, update announcement, and a few small text and UI details.
