Read full descriptionHide full description
Low Light HD Camera turns your iPhone into a powerful night photography tool — capturing detail that the built-in Camera app simply cannot reach. CORE SHOOTING MODES ▸ NIGHT Mode — Captures one frame then applies on-device brightness enhancement and noise reduction. Result in 1–2 seconds: a clean, bright image from a nearly dark scene. ▸ STACK Mode — Captures up to 16 frames and merges them into one. Frame stacking eliminates random noise while preserving real detail. Processing takes 2–4 seconds. Best used with the phone held still. ▸ STANDARD Photo & Video — Full-resolution capture for everyday use, with all pro controls available. PRO MANUAL CONTROLS ▸ EV Control — Swipe up on the viewfinder to increase exposure; swipe down to decrease. Tap the EV chip to reset to 0.0. ▸ Boost — Post-capture brightness amplification on the saved image. Use after EV for extra lift in very dark scenes. ▸ Noise Reduction — Adjustable slider to control grain smoothing intensity. ▸ Tap-to-Focus & AE/AF Lock — Tap to set a custom focus/exposure point.
