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. AEB, ISO- and Shutter-brackets are available. - Single or series of Focus Brackets with up to 100 images per bracket - Adjustable photo and video resolution - Adjustable photo and video quality - Advanced photo processing (Smart HDR and Deep fusion on supported devices) - Unlimited presets with the possibility of exposing them to the widget - Advanced intervalometer - Multiple framing options

LightTemp turns your smartphone into a professional on-set tool: measure light, understand it, and keep it consistent across the whole shoot – no expensive hardware required. Built by a filmmaker, for filmmakers. ◆ REAL-TIME KELVIN & TINT Point your camera at a light source and instantly read color temperature (Kelvin) and green-magenta tint. Tap the image to measure that exact spot (double-tap = center). Perfect for scouting and quick lighting checks. ◆ CAMERA WB RECOMMENDATION LightTemp tells you exactly what to dial into your camera – the measured value IS your white balance. ◆ LIGHTING RATIO (LIGHTING DESIGN) Measure Key, Fill, Back and Background one by one – the app computes the contrast ratios in stops (e.g. 4:1). Turn "reading a number" into "designing your lighting". ◆ GEL CALCULATOR Pick source + target white point – the app calculates the right CTO/CTB gel using real mired math, including combining large corrections. ◆ SHOOT SETUP & SHOT MATCH (CONTINUITY) Set your cine camera once (model, EI, fps, shutter angle). Save each scene as a full snapshot – Kelvin, tint, lighting ratio, flicker note and your camera values – and reproduce the lighting exactly on the next shooting day. Export as PDF. ◆ CONTINUITY RADAR Anchor the current light and the app warns you – with a banner and haptic – the moment color temperature or tint drifts, with a correction tip to get back. Keeps your look consistent across takes. ◆ MULTI-POINT DEVICE CALIBRATION Calibrate LightTemp with several reference points into a precise correction curve – maximum accuracy on your exact device. ◆ AUTOMATIC LIGHT SOURCE DETECTION Recognizes Tungsten, LED, HMI, daylight, candlelight or fluorescent – including a flicker warning (banding risk). ◆ PRO SCOPES • Histogram – brightness distribution • Waveform – luminance across the image width • RGB Parade – red/green/blue separately for a quick white-balance check ◆ FALSE COLOR & ZEBRA Exposure overlays like on professional monitors – correct skin tones, clipping and overexposed areas at a glance. Plus a live exposure assistant. ◆ GOLDEN & BLUE HOUR Calculates the sun's position from your location with a countdown to the next phase – for scouting. ◆ MORE TOOLS • Live camera data: ISO, shutter, aperture, FPS • Pinch-to-zoom • Freeze to lock the value • Customizable tool bar • Kelvin alarm (vibrates at target value) • Four languages: English, German, French, Spanish PRIVACY All data stays on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no ads. Note: Accuracy depends on your device's camera; use the calibration for best results. LightTemp is an assistive tool and does not replace a calibrated hardware light meter for the most demanding use.
