RawCam puts your original photo first. Choose Bayer RAW, Apple ProRAW, or a JPEG, with manual controls when you need them. CHOOSE WHAT YOU SAVE • JPEG: a photo ready to view and share. • RAW: a DNG original for editing. • JPEG + RAW: keep both. They appear separately in Photos and together in the RawCam roll. Bayer RAW preserves sensor data for developing your own image. Apple ProRAW combines Apple's image processing with RAW editing flexibility. Available formats depend on the selected camera. For JPEGs, From RAW develops Bayer sensor data with minimal enhancement. iOS processing uses Apple's processed-photo pipeline. ProRAW's JPEG companion uses iOS processing. CAMERA CONTROLS • Live exposure, shutter, ISO and white-balance readings • Manual ISO and shutter; adjusting exposure compensation restores automatic exposure • White-balance presets and supported native rear-lens selection • Front-camera switching, using JPEG where RAW is unavailable • Tap to focus, exposure adjustment and focus/exposure lock • Flash, self-timer, grid, horizon level, histogram and Zebra preview warnings • Steady capture and three-shot exposure bracketing for Bayer RAW alone with automatic exposure • Volume-button capture and an App Shortcut for Siri, Shortcuts and Action Button launch • Optional haptics YOUR CAPTURES Open recent RawCam photos inside the app, zoom into originals and inspect capture details. Share the JPEG or export the original DNG from a paired capture. Original viewing requires Photos access; saved previews remain available when an original cannot be accessed. Existing videos in the roll remain playable. Location tagging is optional and off by default. Saved coordinates can be viewed on a map. PRIVACY No account, analytics, advertising or developer-operated server. Photos are saved to your photo library. Your iCloud Photos and sharing settings determine where saved media goes. Opening an iCloud original or a saved-location map may use Apple services. CAMERA SUPPORT RAW availability and resolution depend on the camera and capture format. Bayer RAW can show more noise in low light. ProRAW includes Apple processing; it does not guarantee 48MP capture. JPEGs developed from RAW use the RAW file's dimensions. RawCam now focuses on photos. Video capture controls have been removed; existing videos remain viewable.

Nula is a pure point-and-shoot camera that turns off the computer. No Deep Fusion, no Smart HDR, no multi-frame fusion, no AI noise reduction. Every photo is a single exposure captured in Bayer RAW and developed with one neutral, deterministic recipe — so it comes out flatter, grainier, softer, and more natural. The honest look of light hitting a sensor, not an algorithm's idea of a "better" photo. One fixed 35mm-equivalent frame — close to how your eye takes in a scene — with no zoom, no filters, and no editing in the way. Point, shoot, done. Expect real grain, gentler detail, and weaker low light than the stock camera. That's not a flaw — it's the film-like character people are chasing. Privacy first. Nula has no servers, no accounts, no analytics, and no networking code at all — it literally cannot send your data anywhere. Photos are saved only to your photo library: on your device, and in your own iCloud if you use iCloud Photos. iOS's App Privacy Report will show zero network activity. "Data Not Collected," and you can verify it yourself. • Single-exposure Bayer RAW — zero computational photography • Neutral, film-like development • Fixed 35mm field of view • No zoom, no filters, no editing • 100% offline — no data collected • Pay once. No subscriptions, no ads, no in-app purchases. Slow down. Shoot less. Keep what's real.
