Going out alone for selfies and never catching the perfect frame? Asking someone to take your photo, then realizing they missed your best moment and captured only awkward expressions and strange poses? Buzz Cam turns the fix into one tap: place your iPhone in the right spot, tap the shutter once to start an automatic continuous burst, and it keeps shooting even after you release—until you tap again to stop. On supported iPhones, it can save every shot at the highest quality your device supports—up to 48MP, and even ProRAW (selectable in Settings)—directly to Apple Photos, so if you shoot enough, there’s always one frame that’s exactly your best moment. It’s made for people who have higher standards for “that one moment”, especially when taking selfies or solo travel photos. Great poses often exist only for a split second. With a single-shot camera, the shutter timing has to be perfect. With Buzz Cam, you simply do the movement and let the camera keep shooting—then choose your favorite from dozens or even hundreds of photos. Built for real-life situations 1. Solo travel / self portraits: Set your phone on a tripod, start a timed burst or continuous burst, walk into the frame, and move naturally. No running back and forth to press the shutter over and over. 2. Friends & couples photos: Not everyone is good at “the perfect click”. Continuous burst gives you a much higher success rate—later you can pick the shot where everyone looks great. 3. Action moments: Jumping, turning, waving, hair flips, flowing skirts, kids running, pets looking up—moments that are gone in a second. Burst is the most reliable way to catch them. Pure burst, without compromising image character Buzz Cam is not a retouching app. It’s designed to keep your photos looking natural and close to what you expect from your iPhone camera—clear, detailed, and true to the scene—so you can edit later in any app (only if you want to). Key features - Continuous burst: Tap once to start shooting continuously, tap again to stop. - Timed burst: A countdown starts, then the app automatically begins capturing. - Selectable burst speed: Choose a rhythm that fits your scene—poses, group shots, or motion. - Burst count / duration control: Shoot as many as you need, with optional limits to fit your workflow. - Format options: Choose common photo formats (for example HEIF/JPEG; RAW/DNG on supported devices). - Zoom & lens flexibility: Pinch to zoom, and switch back lenses on supported devices. - Optional location metadata: Turn on/off adding GPS location to saved photos in Settings. - Helpful countdown cue (optional): Makes it easier to time your movement during timed capture. - Saves to Apple Photos: Your shots go directly to the Photos app for easy viewing and sharing. Why it increases your “keeper rate” Most missed photos are not about looking bad—they’re about timing. A single shot is one roll of the dice: expression, focus, lighting, and movement all have to line up perfectly. Burst capture gives you many chances in the same moment, so you can pick the best frame instead of hoping for it. Tips for better results - Move naturally: small turns, steps, hand movements, and changing expressions work beautifully with burst. - Give yourself options: shoot a little longer so you have more great frames to choose from. - Watch storage and heat: long bursts can use more space and battery—stop when you’ve got enough. Privacy in one sentence Buzz Cam doesn’t require an account. Your photos are saved to your device’s photo library, and location tagging is optional. If you want a camera that simply makes it easier to capture the perfect instant—especially for selfies, travel shots, and group photos—Buzz Cam is a simple but powerful upgrade to your success rate.
