AIO Camera brings photography back to something simple, direct, and personal. New: Snap mode Nothing on screen but the shutter. Aim, press, and leave the rest to AI: it looks at what's in the photo and how it's lit, then draws this shot's colour, filter, grain and glow. No two come out alike, like a roll of film back from the lab. Open a photo in the roll to see what it drew. Seven camera looks are previewed live in the viewfinder. Your photos save straight to Apple Photos, ready to edit, share, and sync. Highlights: • Seven looks: As Shot, Hiyori, Streetscape, Heritage, Clearview, Natural and Chiaroscuro — swipe to switch. • A colour × tone pad and film grain, previewed live as you drag; skin protection keeps people natural. • Film engine: develops the RAW itself, with less of the system's processing. • Night mode: multi-frame merging and denoising for clean low-light shots. • Live filters, continuous zoom, tap-to-focus/expose, and AE/AF Lock. • Program, shutter-priority and manual exposure with an exposure meter, down to seconds in the dark. • Flash, front and rear cameras, timer, grid, aspect ratio, JPEG/HEIC/RAW + JPEG, and photo/video modes. • Try every feature with no photo limit for 7 days, then unlock permanently with one purchase. No subscription. All camera looks are independent creative works inspired by classic photographic aesthetics.
