Frame the moment with a stable, natural one-handed grip. Key features • Sideways mode Keep your portrait grip while capturing the selected output ratio. A bright guide shows the area that will be saved. • Photos and video Capture photos at the maximum size supported by your device. Hold the shutter to record 1080p video, including audio when microphone access is allowed. • 16:9, 4:3, and 1:1 ratios Choose a ratio for the scene. The same framing is applied to the guide, photos, and video. • Full mode Save the full camera frame without the Sideways crop. • Lens controls and pinch zoom On supported devices, compact controls let you select physical lenses. Pinch the viewfinder for continuous zoom. • Framing tools Compose with a selected-ratio guide and an optional 3Ɨ3 grid. • Session gallery Review photos and videos captured during the current app session, play videos, and share individual items. Captures are also saved to your Photo Library. • Restored settings Continue with your previous Sideways/Full mode, capture ratio, grid, and shutter sound settings after relaunching the app. Privacy first Photo and video processing happens on your device.
