It is a camera application that saves to the designated album (folder) at the same time as shooting. Simultaneously with the shooting, the shooting data is saved in the designated album, so you can easily organize photos and videos. Even when sorting out later, you can save time to organize because the shooting data has already been sorted. Pictures are arranged in order of shooting in the album, making the album easier to see. You can easily select Album by slide. In addition to ordinary pictures, you can also save square photos, LivePhotos, and videos to the album you set. = = Recommended for this person = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = - People who do not have time to organize photos - People who are not good at organizing photos - Person who wants to save it in a temporary album = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Introduction of recommended functions = = = = = = = = = = = = - Square shooting - LivePhotos shooting is possible (iPhone 6s or later) - Shoot movies - High efficiency storage format (HEIF / HEVC) compatible (iPhone 7 or later) - High-quality shooting - Save to existing albums = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = The initial setting of the save format is Most Compatible (JPEG / H.264).
