PRISM vs ModCam

PRISM is a multi-camera shooting tool designed for mobile creators. Sometimes one angle is not enough. For tutorials, you may need to record both the action and your explanation. For reactions, you want the screen and your expression in the same take. For interviews, product demos, travel videos, and behind-the-scenes footage, an extra angle can add the context a single camera misses. PRISM helps you capture that without building a complicated rig. Use one iPhone to record with multiple cameras, switch between single view, picture-in-picture, vertical split, and horizontal split layouts, and save each camera feed as independent media. After recording, you can export a composed video and apply LUT color looks during post-processing. The camera page is one of PRISM’s core strengths. Instead of covering the screen with every possible parameter, it turns complex shooting into a clean, stable, and beautifully designed camera workspace. Glass-like controls, direct layout switching, and a focused preview hierarchy help you stay closer to framing, timing, and the content itself. PRISM is made for: • Tutorials, courses, and knowledge sharing • Reactions, podcasts, and interviews • Product demos, unboxings, and reviews • Travel videos, vlogs, and behind-the-scenes footage • Any mobile shoot that needs more than one angle Key capabilities: • Multi-camera real-time recording • Front + rear and wide + ultra-wide camera combinations • Single view, picture-in-picture, vertical split, and horizontal split layouts • Independent photo and video capture for each camera feed • Save original media and composed videos • Apply LUT color looks during post-processing/export • Built-in teleprompter for scripted videos and talking-head recording • Controls for focus, exposure, zoom, flash, torch, and video stabilization • Thermal awareness and adaptive performance safeguards for more stable recording PRISM is not about making shooting look complicated. It is about making complex capture feel simple. When one angle is not enough, use one iPhone to tell the story with more depth.

ModCam writes one file: a pure Bayer RAW DNG, straight from the sensor, with none of Apple's computational photography layered on top. In the default mode the app asks the camera for the sensor's own Bayer mosaic. Smart HDR tone fusion, Deep Fusion, the Photonic Engine, Night mode multi-frame stacking and Apple's color and tone rendering are all skipped. What lands in your photo library is a single-frame DNG that reflects what the sensor read, ready for whatever develop you choose. Here is the honest trade-off, because most apps do not say it out loud. The 48MP camera sensor is quad-Bayer. The un-remosaiced mosaic is about 12MP (4032 x 3024). A 48MP frame only exists after Apple's remosaic, which means it is ProRAW and it carries a computational baseline inside the DNG. ModCam does not pretend otherwise. It gives you both, as a visible mode switch: Bayer RAW, about 12MP, no Apple processing. ProRAW, 48MP, remosaiced, Apple's baseline included. The button at the top of the screen always shows which mode you are in. If the phone ever saves a 48MP shot at a lower resolution, a message pops up right away to tell you, and the gallery lists the real size of every photo. You find out on the spot, not a week later in your editor. MANUAL CONTROL ISO, shutter, white balance in Kelvin and focus are all yours. Each one is a ruler you scrub with your thumb: a fast swipe crosses the whole range, a slow one lands on a single step. What you set stays set, with no background auto correction quietly walking your exposure back while you compose. ISO and shutter speed each have an A/M button. A lets the camera set it, M keeps your value. ISO on M with shutter on A is ISO priority. Shutter on M with ISO on A is shutter priority. Both on M is full manual. A main A/M button switches both, and one tap on it takes you back to full auto. A live histogram and false color read the scene for you. A viewfinder can only approximate a RAW develop, so ModCam points you at the instruments for exposure rather than claiming the preview is the file. APERTURE The aperture (f-number) of the lens in use sits next to the lens buttons and updates when you switch lenses. On iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, the 1x camera's aperture is adjustable. Yellow means automatic. Tap or swipe right to open the stops, f/1.48 to f/4, and tap or slide to pick one. Tap M or swipe left for automatic. Elsewhere it is shown for reference. THE REST OF IT Every rear lens plus the front camera, selected directly. Self-timer with a countdown that blinks a warning before the shutter fires. Grid and level guides you can hide for a clean frame. Hardware shutter: the volume buttons and Camera Control both fire. An in-app session gallery: each shot's real mode, size, exposure and time, without leaving for Photos. Optional location tagging, written into the DNG's own metadata on the device. A three-page first-run intro that shows you where everything lives. WHO IT IS FOR People who develop their own files. If you shoot for Lightroom, Capture One or another RAW editor and you would rather start from what the sensor read than from a rendered result, this is aimed at you. If you want a finished JPEG straight out of the phone, the built-in Camera app does that better. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking. There is no networking code in the app at all; it behaves identically in Airplane Mode. The only outward links are the Privacy Policy and Support rows in Settings, which open in Safari, and the Maps button in the gallery, which hands a coordinate to the maps app you choose. DEVICE SUPPORT ModCam is built around the Pro camera systems: the 48MP main sensor, the full rear lens set, and the manual ranges those cameras expose. On other iPhones it still runs, reading the modes, lenses and ranges from whatever camera is there, and showing a one-time notice that says so. Nothing is blocked. Version 1.0 is completely free.
