Remotely control Fujifilm X Series cameras and effortlessly capture time-lapse videos in RAW, advanced selfies, real-estate, travel and group photos. Shutter+ comes with a full-featured Apple Watch app. (See a list of supported models at the end of this description.) ADVANCED SELF-TIMER (INTERVALOMETER) Shutter+'s timer allows you to specify an initial delay and intervals between photos. 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. Capture RAW photos and use your regular RAW developer and video editor to put together incredible time-lapse movies. 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. Recover all shadow and highlight details in post-production. ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY By combining ("stacking") multiple photos with the same composition, you can drastically reduce camera noise in post-production. Use Shutter+ to catch multiple exposures of the night sky. This will allow you to produce stunningly clear images of the Milky Way and Northern Lights (aurora borealis).
