CameraPixels is a unique manual photography app. The premium tools and intuitive UI make CameraPixels the best choice for professional mobile photographers. CameraPixels participated in Berkley Eclipse Megamovie 2017 thanks to its extensive raw bracketing. All-in-one ============= CameraPixels is all-in-one capture solution, that supports multiple photo and video capture modes. Among them are Bracketing, Slow Shutter and Time-lapse modes. CameraPixels has the most advanced bracketing available on the iOS platform, which includes exposure and focus bracketing. Best for macro photography ============= With CameraPixels you can capture the best macro shots, be it a single image or a series of images, called focus bracketing, which can later be combined into one all-in-focus photo (requires external app for focus stacking). If you have an external macro lens, let CameraPixels save its name to the EXIF data for you, so later you can always remember which lens was used. Currently CameraPixels supports Olloclip™, Loupe System™ and Moment™ lenses. Best for professional HDR photography ============= CameraPixels has the most advanced exposure bracketing on iOS. With up to 15 images per bracket you can capture even the most difficult lighting situations. CameraPixels support auto-, iso and shutter-brackets, with an optional flash frame. The captured images can be used to create stunning HDR photos using your favorite professional HDR software. Intuitive UI ============= CameraPixels has a simple and efficient UI. The most important information is always in front of your eyes, and this allows you to avoid surprises like an unexpected flash fire or the wrong output photo or video format. Stop being distracted by the uncertainty of the settings, concentrate on your capture! ISO/Shutter priority modes ============= CameraPixels is among a few photography apps that support advanced exposure modes like ISO and Shutter priority. These modes are indispensable during dynamic photography when there is no time for adjusting manual exposure. Histogram and clipping warnings ============= The histogram is a great tool to estimate your exposure. It can show you if the photo has under-exposed or over-exposed areas. Clipping warnings, on the other hand, can show you exactly where those under and over-exposed areas in your photo are. Depth capture ============= On dual/triple-camera devices, CameraPixels can capture depth information alongside the colour photo. If the photo has depth information, in the preview window, two additional buttons appear (depth and portrait) that allow you to inspect the depth of the image and apply it to simulate an aperture. Presets ============= CameraPixels was designed for professional photographers that value efficiency of their workflow. The unlimited presets, including the possibility to expose them to Widget make CameraPixels the ultimate photography tool. Features overview ============= - UI optimized for manual capture - RAW and ProRAW (on supported devices) photo capture - Auto, manual and semi-automatic (ISO- and Shutter-priority) exposure modes - Photo, Burst, Portrait, Slow Shutter, Exposure Bracket, Focus Bracket, Video and Time-lapse - Clipping warnings to highlight under- and over-exposed areas in real time - Focus peaking and loupe during the manual focus adjustments - Single or series of Exposure Brackets with up to 15 images per bracket.

ReeXpose is the best app for long exposure photography on the App Store. Designed by professionals for professionals, ReeXpose closes the gap between your iPhone and a DSLR camera, allowing you to shoot long exposure photos in RAW. All without the need for additional ND filters! Select your capture mode, adjust your exposure, chose your capture duration and ReeXpose will do the rest. The result will be a single, 12-bit DNG file editable in your favorite editing software. Use the “motion blur” mode to make people disappear, smooth the movement of clouds, or give running water a characteristic silky appearance. Use the “light trails mode” for stunning star trails or to transform moving cars into gorgeous rivers of light. Enjoy the flexibility of full manual controls and the extended dynamic range given by RAW files. ReeXpose is brought to you by REEFLEX, the small studio behind the development of Reeflex Pro Camera and ReeHeld. — MAIN FEATURES — • RAW capabilities for long exposure*/**/*** • Motion blur & Light trails modes • Extended capture time ranging from seconds to minutes, hours, and Bulb (unlimited) • Full manual controls for ISO, shutter speed, focus, and white balance • Live preview: watch the RAW photo developing on the screen • Interims results: allows taking intermediate photos during a long capture • Parallel bracketing: allows capturing 2 photos at different selected exposures for HDR bracketing in post-production • Exposure guides like histogram and zebra stripes • Focus peaking • Apple Watch integration for remote shutter • Photo backup in the File app • Gyroscopic tiltmeter and Grid (rule of thirds) • GPS location in the photo’s metadata • Multi-Language support • Blazing fast processing & saving time (1ms) • Lock Screen Widget for quick access • Tap-to-focus (Auto-focus) — ACCESSIBILITY — • Color-blind users can tune the app to suit their needs best, customizing the UI and color coding. — IMPORTANT REMARKS — • Note #1: *The RAW format is not supported for the ultra-wide camera on devices older than the iPhone 12 series (this is a limitation given by the manufacturer - Apple) • Note #2: **As usual for long exposure, you must use a tripod and keep the phone as steady as possible. The app does NOT stabilize the images automatically. If this is what you're looking for, then please have a look at our other app (ReeHeld) • Note #3: ***Bayer RAW images, which are the standard in professional photography, necessarily require editing in post-production in order for you to obtain a properly elaborated photo. The RAW image captured differs from what you see in the live-preview when shooting, as the live preview is based on the elaborated live output which is in JPG. Hence you might notice differences in what you see on the screen when shooting vs the final DNG image (Bayer RAW). We, therefore, suggest fine-tuning your exposure by manually adjusting SS and ISO, and taking several shots in order to find the best settings for your desired shot. — GET IN TOUCH — • We'd love to hear from you!
