About

Average Camera Pro

This app captures multiple photos and averages them to create a single, low-noise image. It's ideal for improving picture quality in dimly lit environments by normalizing pixel values and making the lightest pixel white.

Highlights
  • Automatic multi-picture capture
  • Calculates average picture
  • Normalizes pixel values
  • Lightest pixel becomes white
  • Reduces noise in low light
Features
Read full description

Average Camera automatically takes multiple pictures (immediately or after a timer expires), calculates the average picture out of these and normalizes the result, to make the lightest pixel become white. It is useful for producing low-noise pictures in low-light situations. Because of the long exposure time, you should not hold your iPhone in your hands, but lean it against something to get sharp results.
