AlphaCapture

Read full description

AlphaCapture is a professional-style camera viewfinder for iPhone, built around Apple ProRAW still capture and the kind of exposure feedback you expect from a dedicated EVF, not a minimal point-and-shoot UI. UI was inspired by industry leading medium format cameras in the market. Developed to work on iPhone 16 Pro & newer models. SHOOT WITH CONFIDENCE Use a large live preview with tap-to-focus, optional face lock for people in the frame, and exposure compensation you can adjust with a long-press and vertical drag on the preview. Top telemetry keeps aperture, shutter, ISO, white balance (Kelvin), and scene EV readable at a glance so you can judge exposure before you press the shutter. PRORAW, FULL RESOLUTION Capture Apple ProRAW (DNG) at the full still resolution your active lens and device support when the pipeline is ready, so you retain maximum 45MP detail for editing. Lens selection uses the physical ultra-wide, wide, and telephoto modules where available. After you change lenses, give the app a brief moment so the high-resolution ProRAW path can lock before you shoot. SCOPES THAT READ LIKE HARDWARE Switch between a live histogram and a column waveform to see how tone is distributed across shadows, midtones, and highlights. A clipping pill summarises shadow and highlight risk from the live histogram so you can react before you lose detail. VIEWFINDER MODES Immersive mode fades most chrome so the scene fills the frame while keeping essentials like the grid, focus brackets, EV strip, shutter and immersive toggle. An optional monochrome preview helps you judge luminance and contrast on screen, your ProRAW file is unchanged. Professional photographers love this feature! LEARN AS YOU GO An in-app guide explains exposure readouts, the shutter workflow, scopes, lenses, and immersive mode so you are not guessing what each control does. ACCESS Start with a 7-day trial that unlocks premium capture and interface features. When you are ready, Full Unlock is a one-time in-app purchase for lifetime access, with no subscription. REQUIREMENTS & PRIVACY ProRAW availability, maximum photo dimensions and lens behavior depend on your iPhone model and iOS version. The app requests camera access for preview, metering, and capture, and photo library access to save images you choose to keep. MODELS Runs on: iPhones on iOS 26.4+ on models 14 Pro and later Pro) Designed for: Pro-class iPhones that support your 48MP class ProRAW pipeline; others may install but not fully capture as intended. Ideal phones: iPhone 16/17 Pro/Max Whether you are chasing landscape detail, careful exposure on the telephoto, or a disciplined workflow in the field, AlphaCapture is designed to put ProRAW capture and serious metering tools in one place.
