About

Camera18

Read full description

Camera18 turns your iPhone into a collection of cameras. Seamlessly zoom through your scene, switch cameras in an instant, and discover a different photographic character with each one. Every camera is more than a filter. Each has its own color, texture, lens feel, and aperture character — from wide-open softness to crisp depth and dramatic starbursts. ONE CAMERA. MANY CHARACTERS. • Seamless Zoom Move naturally from wide to close without interrupting the shot. • Camera Simulations Shoot with distinct camera-inspired looks, each built around its own color, texture, and optical character. • Aperture Character Aperture is part of each camera’s identity — changing how light, depth, softness, and starbursts feel. • Aperture Control On supported hardware, control the physical aperture directly. Other supported devices recreate the experience computationally. • Shoot, Don’t Filter Choose your camera and aperture before the shutter. The look is part of how you shoot, not something added afterward. One iPhone. Many cameras. A different character in every shot.
