You can control waiting sound during the countdown, and photo capture sound when the self-timer triggers. You can remotely control exposure settings. Included histogram ensures you don't clip highlights or lose shadow details. RAW TIME-LAPSE WITH INCREDIBLE CONTROL With the help of intervalometer, you can get rid of a dedicated cable release.

FAMILY AND GROUP PHOTOS WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHER INCLUDED With timer app you can finally include everyone in family and group photos. Set up timer and allow it to capture multiple frames at one run. Timer sounds will make sure everyone smiles at the exactly right moment. PERFECT TRAVEL COMPANION Ever been to a perfect travel destination with no one around to take a picture of you? Strangers cutting off your limbs? With our intervalometer, you can capture those sunrises and sunsets in the most remote locations. Shutter+'s optimized battery usage allows you to enjoy the day to the fullest. REAL-ESTATE Use exposure bracketing to easily capture multiple exposures of the same scene.
