Light Lamb is a free photographers’ light meter app for iOS. You can let Light Lamb decide everything for you like getting an auto mode for your manual film camera, or you could have full manual control of the parameters, or whatever you want in between. - Now with histogram (New in 1.3.0) Use the histogram to make sure the scene is exposed just like how you envisioned. - From full auto to assisted manual control In most cameras if you pick a parameter like aperture, shutter, or ISO, the camera would stick to your chosen values even if it's too dark or too bright for the scene. The reason we made Light Lamb is to have a light meter that would suggest different settings if the chosen parameters are not suitable. For example, you can keep your settings at f/8 and 1/125 for deep depth of field and fast shutter speed, but if it's too dark, Light Lamb would suggest brighter values to make sure it's correctly exposed. Or say you want to set the aperture to f/1.4 for shallow depth of field, and if it's bright outside and the shutter is already at its fastest speed, Light Lamb would suggest a smaller aperture. Just set the parameters to what you want and Light Lamb will handle the rest. - Safe shutter-aware Pick a preferred slowest shutter speed you want and Light Lamb will match it. If the scene is too dark, Light Lamb automatically pick a slower shutter speed beyond the safe shutter to achieve the correct exposure. - Spot metering Zoom in 5x to focus the measurements to small areas in contrasting scenes. - Match your equipment Choose the range and increment of ISO, aperture, and shutter speed to match your equipment. Choose between whole-stop, half-stop, and one-third EV increments for each parameter. - Keep a memo Keep a memo of the settings used, including a photo of the scene and the location. Export it as a beautiful picture note formatted in 4:5 aspect ratio, great for posting to Instagram along with your photo.
Camera 3D AI

Camera 3D AI is an iPhone camera app that blends the vibe of a 1990s SLR with modern on‑device AI depth and true 3‑D imaging. Main features: • Camera switch – one tap toggles back ↔ front and cycles through multiple lenses (wide, ultra‑wide, tele). • Continuous zoom – slider zooms 1×–5× in real time with no preview interruption. • Focus – center autofocus. • White balance – single button sets a natural colour temperature. • Anaglyph 3‑D – the shutter grabs a colour frame plus an AI depth map; the 3‑D algorithm shifts left/right channels to generate a red‑cyan anaglyph shown full‑screen, closable with X and savable to Camera Roll. You’ll need red‑cyan glasses (e.g. Rainbow Symphony ProView) to enjoy the 3‑D effect. Parallax strength The Max Parallax setting lets you choose how strongly the left‑ and right‑eye views are separated when the app builds a red‑cyan 3‑D image. A larger value increases the depth effect, but too much separation can make pictures uncomfortable to view. Use the scrolling picker to select any even value from 10 px (subtle depth) up to 150 px (very pronounced depth); the default is 20 px. Save destination Under Save location you can decide where finished 3‑D photos are written: • Photo Library – adds the image to your Camera Roll only (default). • Documents – saves the file into the app’s Documents folder (visible in the Files app) but does not appear in Photos. • Both – writes one copy to the Photo Library and another to Documents. The app remembers your choice, so you can tailor the workflow to whether you prefer immediate sharing from Photos or manual file management in Files. All processing is on‑device – no cloud, no sign‑up, no tracking analytics. The app wants to access the camera to take 3‑D photos. Allow it by accepting “Camera 3D AI Would Like to Access the Camera – Capture photos” When you press the shutter, the app wants to save the generated 3‑D photo to your photo library. Allow it by accepting “Camera 3D AI Would Like to Add to Your Photos – Add 3‑D photos to the photo library”
