An app that brightens up videos and photos taken in the night view and darkness. You can also add a night-vision-like effect. - Media Camera shooting Camera roll: Importing videos and photos Import (File Share) Paste Image (from Web Browser etc.) - Settings Tone selection: full color / monotone Monotone color: RGB setting Scope effect: ON / OFF Brightness adjustment Color adjustment Zoom: 1 to 100 times Storage resolution: 20-100% of original resolution - Output Save to camera roll: video, photo Video and photo sharing: AirDrop, LINE, Facebook, Dropbox, Instagram, ... - Note This appl realizes the effect of night vision scope by applying an original amplification process to the image. The smaller the amount of light during shooting, the more inevitable noise will be when processing brighter. Please note that it is not possible to brighten a dark video or photo with no light. The iPhone itself does not have a function to shoot using infrared rays like a commercially available night vision camera.
