Expono is a camera for people who miss film. Ten looks, built from real stocks — Ani, 800T, Chrome, Cine, Golden, Street, Portrait, Vivid — previewed live on your viewfinder before you shoot. 800T reads the light in your scene: warm under tungsten, blue-teal in daylight, with the red halation around lights that made the stock famous. Add Film for grain and halation on any look. Photos are 48 MP, straight from the sensor, with Apple's HDR processing turned off. No flattened shadows, no glowing skies, no crunchy sharpening. Just a photo. Double exposure, done right. Shoot one frame, watch it ghost over the live camera, line up the second. Switch lenses between frames. Or pick two photos from your library and compose them with a drag and a pinch. Portrait mode with a real lens-shaped blur you can adjust from f/1.4 to f/8, before or after the shot. Import anything from your library — photos or video, shot on any camera — and give it an Expono look. Change the look later; it always re-applies to the original, never on top of the last one. Record video while your music keeps playing. Automatic night mode. Location tags. Full-res, no watermarks, no subscription. Everything happens on your phone. Nothing is uploaded.

Is the thing you want to photograph hidden behind the shutter button? Shooting a plate of food from above. Placing your child, your dog or your cat low in the frame. On the stock camera app, the shutter button can land right there. You cannot tell how it came out until you take the shot. Clear Frame Camera is a camera app that promises to keep the shutter button outside the frame. ( 1 ) The shutter never hides your frame Nothing overlaps the frame. What you see is what you get. ( 2 ) It works like the camera you know Nothing new to learn. The same gestures as the stock camera, doing the same things. - Tap to focus and set exposure - Pinch to zoom - Flash (auto / on / off) - Timer (3s / 10s) - Grid - Photos and videos save straight to your photo library ( 3 ) Settings step aside while you shoot The gear in the top corner opens flash, timer, ratio, grid and exposure in one panel. Close it and the wide view is back. While you are shooting, settings never sit over the frame. ( 4 ) Pro (one-time purchase) A single purchase unlocks these features. There is no monthly fee. - Video recording (HD / 4K, 24 / 30 / 60 fps) - 16:9 and 1:1 aspect ratios - Live Photos - Exposure compensation Photo capture stays free forever, whether or not you buy it. ( 5 ) We collect nothing No ads. No usage analytics. The photos and videos you take are only saved to the photo library on your device.
