A Camera App that gives you manual controls and seamless SANDMARC lens integration, built for photographers and videographers who want more than the default iPhone camera. BUILT FOR SANDMARC LENSES The native camera app has no idea what lens you have attached. The SANDMARC app does. Select your lens from the built-in Lens Selector, and the app immediately tells you exactly which iPhone camera to mount it to. No guessing, no trial and error. It also locks your zoom into the optimal range for that lens, keeping you out of digital zoom territory where image quality suffers. Full anamorphic lens support included, with corrected widescreen previews and automatic desqueeze for SANDMARC 1.33× and 1.55× anamorphic lenses. MANUAL CONTROLS, MADE SIMPLE Aperture, ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and exposure compensation are all accessible directly from the shooting interface. Tap to cycle through settings or press and hold to jump straight to the one you need. Swipe up or down on the slider to dial in your value. Double-tap to reset. Pro-level control without the heavy learning curve. PHOTO PROCESSING MODES Choose how your iPhone processes every shot: · Standard: Default Computational processing by Apple · Minimal: Natural Processing, fast with minimal computational interference · RAW: Full Sensor Data, maximum flexibility in post · ProRAW: Apple Computational RAW, best of both worlds VIDEO Record in HD or 4K with high frame rate options and full manual control over focus, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance.
