Handed a stranger's phone for a photo — and froze? Lensmera turns that moment around. It makes your phone a mirrorless-style manual camera that teaches you photography while you shoot, until you're the one saying "here, let me take it". On your device. Private. Auto mode takes fine pictures, but never tells you why. Lensmera does: touch a control and the live view answers instantly, with a short tip on what just happened. LEARN AS YOU SHOOT • Move a dial and watch brightness, motion and depth change live • Friendly tips appear as you change settings, so the "why" sticks • Shutter speed, ISO, aperture, metering, white balance, the exposure triangle • Same terms and layout as a real mirrorless — your skills transfer • A step-by-step Learn tab from P to M, with recipes and weekly challenges on your device A REAL MANUAL CAMERA • P / A / S / M modes, like the mode dial on a real camera • Shutter speed and ISO with a live exposure preview • White balance presets and fine control, manual focus with peaking • Live histogram, clipping warnings, grid and level • RAW (DNG) capture on supported devices • Long exposure with 7 presets — silky water, light trails, fireworks, star trails SHOOT AND EDIT VIDEO — WITH AUTO CAPTIONS • Record with stabilization — off, standard or cinematic (supported devices) • Video editor: trim, split, rotate, crop, 15 aspect ratios, 21 filters, volume, mirror • Auto subtitles — speech recognition on your phone; edit captions, 3 styles, SRT import/export • Text, stickers and photo overlays with timing control • Background music with fade — or extract the sound as an audio file • Combine videos and photos — per-clip speed, photo slides to 5 minutes • Export up to 4K (where supported), H.264 or HEVC — save any frame as a photo RECORDER, PLAYLISTS AND BACKGROUND PLAY • Voice recorder keeps going while you use other apps • Import audio, caption it on-device, or make a waveform audiogram video • Playlists mixing video and audio — shuffle, repeat, mini player • Listen with the screen off — background playback with Lock Screen controls • Picture in Picture keeps video playing in a floating window FRIENDLY FROM THE FIRST TAP • A pretty, welcoming home — start in easy auto, go pro when curious • Selfie-ready with timer and grid, front and back cameras • Photo booth strips and a full editor — crop, filters, text, mosaic, background blur or swap, long-legs effect • AI edits — magic eraser, subject cut-out, colorization, AI depth blur • ID and passport photos — 15 presets, custom mm sizes, 300dpi print sheet • Gentle beauty — skin smoothing while you shoot, face touch-up in the editor • No watermark on your photos, no sign-up walls YOUR MOMENTS STAY YOURS • Core features work offline — no account, no cloud; optional AI tools download their model once, never your photos • Photos, videos, recordings and faces never leave your phone • Full EXIF — view and edit every tag; edits save as a new copy • Location in photos only if you turn it on (off by default) • Save to the Photos app too, when you choose Shoot, learn, grow — then pick up a real DSLR or mirrorless camera and feel right at home. Phone lenses have a fixed aperture — the live depth-of-field preview is simulated and honestly labeled as such. ■ App permissions • Required: Camera — shooting and live preview • Optional: Microphone (video sound, voice recorder), Location (off by default), Photo Library (add-only saving when you want) • The app works without the optional permissions ■ Paid features and payment • Premium is a one-time purchase (not a subscription); the displayed price includes VAT where applicable • Refunds (withdrawal) via the App Store refund process or by contacting support • Terms of Use lensmera.com/terms · Privacy Policy lensmera.com/privacy
