About

OrthoCam

Read full description

OrthoCam is a perspective-correction camera built for architecture and spatial photography. Shooting skyscrapers, interiors, bridges, and skylines, the last thing you want is slanted lines and perspective distortion. OrthoCam uses your device's motion sensors to align horizons and verticals in real time and automatically corrects wide-angle distortion — no post-processing needed. Level and straight, every shot. 【Key Features】 • Perspective Correction: Motion-sensing auto-aligns horizontal and vertical lines and fixes wide-angle distortion, so your shots come out level and straight. • Apple Log Workflow: Shoot in Apple Log to preserve maximum dynamic range and enjoy freer color grading in post. • 35 Pro-Grade LUTs: Built-in presets deliver professional looks straight out of camera; import your own LUTs too. • Multiple Aspect Ratios: Switch between common ratios freely for more flexible composition. • Pro Exposure: 13/24/50/100mm focal-length steps, independent exposure and spot metering for accurate results even in low light. • Grid Guides: Rule-of-thirds and golden-ratio overlays keep your composition on point. • Photos + Video: Correct perspective in stills; apply real-time LUT grading to video and export clips as Live Photos. • Fully On-Device: All processing happens locally — nothing is uploaded or collected, and your privacy never leaves the phone. From city skylines and historic eaves to interior spaces — level and straight, every shot. 【Pricing & Subscription】 Download free, with a full-featured 3-day free trial on first launch!
