Always Cam
Read full descriptionHide full description
Always Cam features an always-on viewfinder, even while reviewing a photo, so you never miss a moment. Instead of pinch to zoom, one-touch anywhere on the photo for a 100% view, handy for checking blur, etc. Framing with a small viewfinder actually helps with composition, so your shots will look more professional.
