ONE FINGER ZOOM FOR SPORTS Drag one finger up or down to zoom in and out. Immediately tap your finger wherever it is to capture a photo. Perfect for volleyball, basketball, and all your kid's sporting events. Faster and easier to use than the standard pinch gesture. If your iPhone is in the horizontal orientation you can even drag up and down at the side of the screen so your finger doesn’t block the subjects you are taking photos of. NEW: PAUSE VIDEO RECORDING Record the game without the timeouts and stoppages. Less stitching videos together and editing. JUST TAP TO SHOOT Tap anywhere on the image preview to take a photo or start/stop video recording while in video mode. No tiny shutter button. This is so much easier for taking selfies while your arms and hands are fully extended — just focus on framing the shot and tap away. 48 MP APPLE ProRAW AND HEIF For iPhones that support it. CUSTOM FOCUS POINTS Long press for half a second where you would like to set the focus point while maintaining exposure settings. CUSTOM ISO, SHUTTER SPEED, WHITE BALANCE & EXPOSURE BIAS ADJUSTMENTS ToolPod has Auto and Manual modes for toggling between fully automatic photo capture and making manual adjustments to ISO, Shutter Speed and White Balance. ADD YOUR LOGO WHILE TAKING PHOTOS Import your brand or school sports team logo and have it placed on your photos while taking them! No need to use another app afterwards. Choose from 9 locations and set the size and space from the edges. Supports alpha transparency when importing a PNG from iCloud Files. DEPTH CAPTURE MODE On capable iPhones and iPads, use Depth mode to capture and embed depth data to your selfies and rear camera photos. Open and edit with the native Photos app to apply lighting effects and adjust depth of field settings. 4x3 OR 16x9 PHOTO ASPECT RATIOS Traditional 4x3 size or wider 16x9, ideal for social media and video projects. SNAP TO OPTICAL ZOOM POSITIONS Drag with two fingers up or down to snap to the available optical zoom positions of your iPhone. This ensures you are only shooting at the optical zoom positions of your iPhone for best quality. CLEAN VIEW MODE Tap with 2 fingers to hide UI controls for an unobstructed image preview. Tap again with 2 fingers to restore them. PERSONAL PHOTO BOOTH WITH AUTOSHOTS Automated selfie sets. Because no one takes just one selfie — TapShot can automatically take a set of several photos, seconds apart. It means less physical coordination and you can keep your eyes on the screen to frame the perfect poses. If you just need one photo, there is a traditional simple countdown timer as well. BEAUTIFUL COLOR THEMES Choose from 20 different color themes to make your photo and video capturing experience match the color of your iPhone or case. EASY CAMERA SWITCHER The camera switcher always tells you which camera you are using, the current zoom factor, and if you’re at the optical zoom factor for that camera to use the best quality possible. VIDEO RECORDING PRESETS We made it easy to get the right level of quality versus file size. You don’t kneed to know complex video and photo terminology. And you don't need to leave the app to change any settings. 4K, 60FPS, HDR – if your device supports it you can use it in TapShot. COMPLETE PRIVACY No usernames, passwords or logins. We don’t collect a single thing about you or how you use the app. Nothing whatsoever is transmitted from your device to us. Your photos are saved directly to your iPhone’s camera roll so you can use the Photos app to manage and share.
