An intervalometer lets your camera take repeated shots at set intervals, so you can step into the frame, adjust your pose, and capture more natural-looking self-portraits, solo travel photos, and hands-free selfies. Longer Battery Life Bluetooth (BLE = Bluetooth Low Energy) requires up to 90% less energy than Wifi, hence your battery will last longer. BULB mode Set the exposure time on your camera or switch to BULB mode and control the exposure time directly from the app without any time limit. AEB mode Take multiple pictures while using Auto Exposure Bracketing on your camera. Unlimited Number of Photos and Automatic Stop Choose between infinite triggering or an automatic stop after a set number of photos. Alarm on Interruption and Automatic Reconnect Sounds an alarm when the camera disconnects from the phone while shooting is in progress and automatically attempts to reconnect the app to the camera in order to continue shooting. Continue in Background Triggering continues even when the app is minimised in the background. Video mode The intervalometer also works in Video mode and can be used to re-start video recording. This might be useful for cameras that have a 30 minute video recording limit. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Cue

Somebody always ends up running the screen. At a conference, a service, a quiz night, a wedding — someone at the back is making the next thing appear. Cue is built for that person. Your iPad becomes the whole booth — the job that used to take a media server, a laptop at the back, and an operator manual. Build the show from photos, videos, PDFs, song lyrics, and timers, plug into a projector or TV (or AirPlay to it), and drive everything live. The audience sees one clean, composed picture. You see your library, a preview, and a big GO button. • Three layers, composed live. A background, words over it, a countdown on top. Each switches on its own, so changing the slide never kills the video behind it. • Cue mode. Stage the next slide, background, and timer, then commit everything at once with GO. The audience never sees you working. • Scenes. Save a full look — layers, positions, everything — and bring it back in one tap. • Songs that behave. Paste lyrics, get slides. Cue points jump straight to the chorus, from a tap or a number key. • Timers and scoreboards. Countdowns, count-to-time, clocks, and live scores, styled to match and layered over anything. • Instant switching. Staged videos pre-roll and images pre-warm, so GO lands on the first frame, not a black flash. Cue works offline and needs no account. Your shows and media stay on your device. It's free to use with a small watermark on the output; Cue Pro removes it with a monthly or yearly plan (3-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Made for iPad first. Fits in your pocket on iPhone. Privacy Policy: https://cuepresenter.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://cuepresenter.com/terms
