WideAngleCam - Manual Focus gives you more control over iPhone video recording than the default Camera app. Free mode includes manual fixed focus on the Wide lens, so you can try the core focus-control workflow before buying. Full Access is a separate one-time in-app purchase. It unlocks all supported lenses on your iPhone, FPS controls, resolution and maximum-quality options, full-screen preview, movable controls, and direct saving to Photos. Use it for products, sports, nature, inspections, experiments, or creative shots when you want predictable focus and recording settings instead of automatic camera decisions.

About

Camera Lens

Read full description

Camera Lens is a familiar Photo and Video camera designed to keep partly broken iPhones useful. Disable individual physical camera lenses that shake, fail to focus, or no longer work. Camera Lens remembers disabled lenses and never adds them to its capture session. When enabled, unavailable zoom-level replacements can use digital zoom on a working lens to preserve familiar zoom choices. Features: • Photo and Video capture with familiar camera controls • Hard exclusion of disabled wide, ultra-wide, telephoto, and front cameras • Optional synthetic replacements for unavailable zoom levels • Per-lens continuous, single, locked, or manual focus controls • Per-lens focus range and remembered manual focus position • Per-lens video stabilization choices based on device support • HEIF/JPEG photos and HEVC/H.264 video formats • Capability-aware resolution, frame rate, HDR, flash, torch, timer, grid, level, exposure, and aspect-ratio controls • Recent photo, Live Photo, and video browsing with sharing • Camera Lens control for the Lock Screen on supported iPhones Privacy: Camera Lens has no account, ads, analytics, or third-party SDKs. It does not upload your photos, videos, settings, or personal information. Photos access is used only for saving captures and browsing your own library. Optional location access adds metadata to captures. Camera Lens does not repair damaged hardware. Results depend on which physical cameras remain usable on your iPhone.
