Let your favorite looks inspire your next photograph. MODES Snap is a photography app for people who love fashion and street style. Bring outfit references, color recipes, and composition guides together in a simple interface designed to help you capture the mood of every look. Document your everyday outfits with your iPhone, or take your GR IIIx out for street style photography. The silhouette of a coat, the texture of a fabric, the light on a street corner. Capture today's style in a photograph that feels like you. BUILD YOUR OWN LOOK RECIPES Import an outfit photo you love and use its color, light, and composition as a starting point for creating and editing shooting recipes. Name your recipes and add them to your favorites to collect styles for different outfits and moods. When supported metadata is available in an original GR photo, import its shooting settings into the recipe editor. SHOOT WITH YOUR LOOK IN VIEW Full-body proportions, poses, and the space between you and the background. Keep your reference photo and composition guide nearby as you find the right frame for your outfit. You can also import a new reference directly from the shooting screen, select it, and continue shooting. FROM EVERYDAY OUTFITS TO STREET STYLE Preview recipe-based color effects on your iPhone and capture your daily looks with ease. Connect your GR IIIx to check your composition through live view and shoot remotely. Switch cameras to suit the scene. KEEP YOUR LOOKS TOGETHER Revisit your photographs in the app album and see which camera captured each image. Save iPhone photos to your Photo Library manually, or enable automatic saving in Settings. A simple interface. More room for your style and photographs. Available in English, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Note: iPhone recipe effects approximate the reference style and may differ from GR IIIx results. Note: Apply GR IIIx Image Control settings on the camera using the recipe's suggested values.
