Capture what your reflexes miss. HyperCam Trigger is an iPhone camera for moments that are difficult to time by hand. Frame the scene, choose lightning, motion or sound, arm the trigger and let the event request the photo as soon as the camera is ready. HyperCam must stay open and armed; the manual shutter remains one tap away. HOW IT WORKS • Frame the shot with the iPhone camera. • Arm the event you are waiting for. • Review the result in HyperCam’s local gallery. BUILT FOR UNPREDICTABLE MOMENTS Use HyperCam for storms from a safe location, pets and action, solo creator shots, sudden sounds, device movement, smiles, stable tripod scenes and time-lapse changes. Sensitivity, cooldown, analysis zones and field presets help adapt the trigger to the scene. LOCAL BY DEFAULT Captures and gallery data stay on the iPhone by default. No HighRoad account is required. Photos leave the device only when you export or share them, or explicitly confirm an optional Cloud Upscale request to an endpoint you configured. ADVANCED PHOTO WORKFLOWS Compatible iPhones can use RAW or ProRAW, HDR brackets, Night Boost, Ultra Detail, Focus Stack, local Super Resolution and document workflows. Availability and speed depend on the device, format, light, storage and thermal state. HyperCam cannot guarantee every event will be captured. Detection and camera readiness both matter. Frame it. Arm it. Let the moment happen. HyperCam Pro is an optional in-app purchase. It unlocks the advanced photo workflows listed above on compatible iPhones.

Read full description

Shoot video with character. Efecto Camera brings the look of classic film, vintage videotape, and expressive graphic effects into your viewfinder. Preview your chosen filter live, shape it to suit the scene, and start recording when the look feels right. Give a city walk the texture of Super 8, capture a sunset with warm Sepia tones, or turn familiar surroundings into a moving comic. Whether you’re filming a trip, a short creative project, or an everyday moment, there’s plenty to explore. EXPLORE THE LOOKS • Film character — Try Super 8, Noir, Mono, and Sepia, or add dust, scratches, and flicker with Found Film • Tape and television — Bring back the character of VHS, Betamax, MiniDV, CRT, and Night CCTV, with their distinctive colors and video artifacts • Creative color and graphics — Explore Comic, Ink, Glitch, Aerochrome, Blueish, X-Ray, and 8 Bit for a different take on the scene MAKE THE LOOK YOURS Start with a filter, then adjust its strength and individual settings. Depending on the effect, you can fine-tune grain, detail, glow, color bleed, scanlines, and more: • Combine up to three different filters • Reorder layers to explore different results • Save your combinations and settings in My Filters, ready for your next recording. TAKE CONTROL OF THE SHOT Stay in Auto for quick, spontaneous filming, or switch to manual controls when you want to shape the image more precisely: • Adjust shutter speed and ISO • Control focus and white balance • Choose a lens, tap to focus, and pinch to zoom • Use a grid and center marker to help frame the scene • Record in 1080p or 4K at supported frame rates, including 24, 30, and 60 fps KEEP THE ORIGINAL, TOO Efecto Camera preserves an unfiltered source recording while showing your chosen look in the live preview. After filming, compare synchronized Original and Filtered playback, then save the original, the filtered version, or both to Photos. Pick a look, make it your own, and see where it takes you. Please keep in mind that recording formats, lenses, and camera controls depend on the device that you use.
