Mit SelfieCam gelingen Selfies ganz ohne Berührung. Stelle dein iPhone auf, positioniere dich vor der Kamera und zeige deine offene Hand. Sobald die Geste erkannt wurde, startet automatisch ein dreisekündiger Countdown – ideal für Einzelporträts, Gruppenfotos und Aufnahmen aus größerer Entfernung. Funktionen: • Berührungslose Fotoauslösung mit einer offenen Hand • Automatischer dreisekündiger Countdown • Manuelle Auslösung über den Kamerabutton • Wechsel zwischen Front- und Rückkamera per Button oder Victory-Zeichen • MultiCam-Vorschau auf kompatiblen Geräten • Gespiegelte Selfie-Vorschau und optional gespiegelte Aufnahme • Umschaltbare bildfüllende oder vollständige Vorschau • Fotoeditor zum Drehen, Spiegeln und Zuschneiden • Anpassung von Helligkeit, Kontrast und Sättigung • Speichern des Originals oder des bearbeiteten Fotos in der Fotomediathek • Siri-Kurzbefehl zum Starten einer Aufnahme • Einführung mit verständlichen Hinweisen zur Gestensteuerung • Deutsche und englische Benutzeroberfläche • Unterstützung für VoiceOver, große Schrift und reduzierte Animationen Die integrierte Handerkennung verarbeitet das Kamerabild direkt auf deinem Gerät. Zeige deine Hand kurz und ruhig in die Kamera. Ein Fortschrittsring informiert dich darüber, wann die Geste erkannt wurde. Anschließend bleibt genug Zeit, die gewünschte Pose einzunehmen. Auf kompatiblen iPhones kann SelfieCam zusätzlich Front- und Rückkamera gleichzeitig anzeigen. So bleibt die Gestenerkennung aktiv, während du zwischen verschiedenen Perspektiven wechselst. Nach der Aufnahme kannst du dein Foto sofort prüfen, bearbeiten, speichern oder verwerfen. Unveränderte Aufnahmen werden ohne unnötige Neukodierung gespeichert, damit die ursprüngliche Bildqualität erhalten bleibt. SelfieCam benötigt Zugriff auf die Kamera. Der Zugriff auf die Fotomediathek wird ausschließlich zum Speichern deiner Aufnahmen verwendet. Fotos und Gestendaten werden nicht hochgeladen.
