About

Manual Focus Camera

Read full description

Autofocus decides where to focus. Usually it gets it right. Sometimes it locks onto the window, the fence, or a raindrop - and the subject you actually came to photograph is a soft blur behind it. Manual Focus Camera hands that control back. Set the focus yourself, and it stays exactly where you put it. WHEN YOU NEED IT Through glass - shoot from inside a car with rain on the window, or from an airplane seat, with focus on the landscape outside instead of the pane. At distance - hold focus on aircraft and ships far enough away that autofocus gives up and starts hunting. Past obstructions - focus through leaves, branches, cables and wire fencing onto the subject behind them. On approach - track an aircraft landing without the camera re-deciding halfway through the shot. Through binoculars or a spotting scope - set focus once and it holds, instead of the phone switching lenses on you. WHAT'S IN IT Manual focus, from close range out to infinity. Focus peaking - the live preview highlights what is genuinely sharp, so you can confirm the subject is in focus before you press the shutter. Six filters - black and white, retro, sepia, faded and contrast - with neutral, noir, faded and punchy tone presets, plus saturation, brightness and contrast adjustment, all previewed live. High-resolution Apple Pro RAW capture, on iPhone models that support it. NO SUBSCRIPTION Buy it once. No subscription, no account, no sign-up, no ads. The App Store privacy label for this app reads Data Not Collected - nothing is gathered from you, and your photos stay in your photo library. 9 MB. Requires iOS 17 or later. iPhone and iPad.
